Gen fans, somewhat reluctant to the young team, delighted in the eight straight wins the team chalked up. Seniors Becky Durtschi and Jenny Wolf, top spilers early in the season, along with setters Leigh Ludden and Sue Block became the backbone of the General offense. Bev Hansel and Mary Pasternak rounded out the General line-up in the early season. Sophomore Linda Stadler showed promise as a strong hitter. The cross country team ended the September schedule one up on opponents with a 10-9 record. Three sophomores, Rick Spencer, Mike Scott, and Mark Wilson, won varsity honors and kept pace with vet- eran runners. The team, 5-6 in city competition, set their sights on end- ing the season with a winning margin. Coach Nelson Detwiler ' s reserve team sagged behind the varsity to post a disappointing 3-16 September slate. (a) Diligently finishing the last leg of Wayne ' s cross country course, Junior harrier Jeff Finton contributes to still another victory for the Generals by out-running his Black- ford opponents. (b) Parent Night spectators anxiously scan the gridiron while waiting for a badly needed Big Blue touchdown to avert their first home defeat by a hustling Concordia Cadet team. (c) Senior spiker Becky Durtschi puts everything she has into a slam in a vain attempt to regain control of the match as the Knights of Bishop Luers hand the team their only loss of the season. (d) Junior holfback Roosevelt Barnes makes an extraordinary effort to gain further yardage against a strong Concordia defense after receiving key blocks by his General teammates. (e) Junior netman Doug Fogwell slams one of his powerful serves over the ropes to a hapless Muncie Central opponent while on his way to an individual victory as the team drops the match 5-2.

o Q. 00 When can their glory fade? the wild charge they made! All the world wondered. Honor the charge they made! Honor the Light Brigade, Noble six hundred! --Alfred, Lord Tennyson %tu„ ...new As school begins Wayne athletes charge into battle 24 — September m. Gridders end September with 2-3 record. Volleyball team wins its first eight matches. Crosscountry gives opponents a run for their money. Tennis team gets into a new raquet. Veteran backfield made up of Roosevelt Barnes, Al Rysman, Ron Rutledge, and Ronnie Hamilton turned the General foot- ball team around from perennial losers into one of the most powerful teams in the Fort Wayne area as gridders started the season two for two by easily downing their first two opponents. The Gens ' future looked promising as the Snider romp accounted for their first SAC victory of the season. The third game of the season found the Gens up against stiff Bruin competition. It looked as though the Generals would take the Bruins for a ride when heartbreak set in with only 51 seconds left in the game. The next two encounters also found the Gens with their guard down. Tough rushing and defense were the main elements as the Con- cordia Cadets handed Wayne their second defeat. In the next contest the South Side Archers scored a 21-6 victory over the Wayne Gener- als in a crucial SAC contest played at the Wayne Stadium. Off to a slow but sure start, the Wayne gridders ended September 1 -3 in SAC competition.
