Tartars Expect 51 at Brighton
Play Great Lake
Here Sept. 19th
A total of 51 gridders will make
up the Wayne University squad
i this fall. Head Coach Lou Zarza
| announced as he completed final
arrangements for the start of
practice Tuesday, Sept. 1, at the
Detroit Recreation Camp at
Brighton, Mich.
A total of 20 lettermen ara
listed in the group that includes
newcomers and frosh and minor
award winners from last fall.
Zarza indicated that with the
exception of a few gridders who
might turn out when the squad
opens practice on the Tartar cam
pus on Monday, Sept. 21, he
planned little or no < hange in the
list.
"While our total number will
stay the same,” said Zarza, "it
doesn’t mean that veterans and
lettermen are assured of starting
roles next fall. With nine ol 11
regulars lost from the 1952 team
that won four of eight, every
position will be open," he said.
Guards and quarterbacks ap
pear to be Zarza's biggest worry
as he heads into the linal week
before the start of drills.
Dick Lisabeth rates number
one at quarterback because of
his experience and showing in
spring drills, bet Zarsa still
lacks a capable replacement for
the fiery little signal cellar.
Wayne lost regular guards Joe
Komblevicz and Jerry Same
through graduation, and Ken
Love and Don Gorenve have been
drafted. Al Gnesda is a two let -
terinan but has played only de
fensive football and missed spring
practice because of a broken
hand Zaiza indicated that he
planned to devote a lot of time

CHICAGO—iCNSi—Though it
would make a lot of money for
Ihe Milwaukee Braves and the
Chicago White Sox and give the
west some consolation tor not be
ing In the World Series. Baseball
Commissioner Ford Frick is dead
set against anv match between
the colorful two clubs, who have
the misfortune to trail the Yan

respective leagues.
On commenting about the
whole proposition which gets
aired before the executive coun
cil this week. Flick had this 10
sav:
'I don't want games between
a couple of second place clubs to
distract, in any way. from the
interest in the World Series. I
have no doubt that the Braves
and the White Sox would draw a
lot of attendance, but that is
hardly a strong argument a" far
as I’m c onc erned ."
