versitY Saturday. October 8. at
pm. will find Carl SnavelY's
Washington Bears invading De-
iroif 10 face the Tariars at
Tartar Field.
The game will mark the first
Detroit appearance of Snavely-
"the old gray fox" who moved
from North Carolina to Washing
ton University last year.
His maiden effort in the small
college" league was seven wins
and two losses, the best record
for the Bears since they won
seven and lost two under "Weeb"
Eubank in 1919. Eubank is now
Head Coach of the Baltimore
Colts.
SnavelY is high on both Wash
ingion University and his 1854
squad. The veteran Of 10 years
at North Carolina likes the
amateur program at Washing
ton and the schools approach
TO football.
This years Washington squad
is much stronger than Ills 1854
club. The Bears walloped Mis-
souri, Mines SO to ii in the
opener and played Illinois Wes-
leyan last weekend.
Revenge will be uppermost In
the minds of the Washington
gridders, especially since Wayne
upset them 33 TO 10 last year at
st. Louis.
The win which was the most
impressive offensive display of
the season for Wayne, saw BIC
Zucco score three touchdcwns
and gain 228 yards himself.
