Foe for Wayne
BY TOM HARPER

Wayne University will bring 10
a close one Of its most unsuccess-
full grid campaigns in its history
when il battles Western Michigan
at Kalamazoo.
Not since 1882, when Joe Gem
bis took over the coaching reins,
have the Tartars finished so badly.
That season the Wayne team won
one game and dropped six. So far
this season the green-shirted war
riors have won one. lost five and
tied one.
Western Michigan has been de-
feated only once this season. Uni
versity of Akron took the opener
from them, 2l-0. Since then the
Broncos have won four straight.
Last Saturdays Tartar victory
over the University Of Akron
might prove a costly one. Joe
Magnatta, junior halfback and
leading pass catcher. has been
carrying his right arm in a sling
all week and may not see action.
Doug Rutherford. quarterback,
whose passing put the Tartars in
scoring position, suffered an in
jured ankle and might see limited
action.
Co-Capt. Frank Chorney. full
back. who was kept out of the
Akron contest due 10 knee
injury, will return TO the lineup.

game of the year. The winner will
be right up in the first flight of
