Illinois Wrecks Wayne's Streak, 20-14 BY GEORGE CANTOR Fr Press Sports Writer CHARLESTON, 111. The myth of Wayne State football supremacy was not exactly buried here Saturday. It just sort of sank from sight in the ooze of Eastern Illinois Panther Stadium like a man trapped in quicksand. Eastern played the undefeated Tartars off their feet to defeat them, 20-14, and end their flirtation with gridiron perfection End Bob Jensen's one-handed catch of a pass in the' corner of the end zone with 6:25 left in the game undid the Tartars.

The teams had slogged their way to a tie before that and Wayne had even enjoyed a lead that lasted 40 seconds by converting two fumbles into touchdowns. But a relentless Panther descent kept A. J. Vaughn locked up almost all afternoon as the Tartar attack sputtered, fizzled and finally died out altogether. THE SQUAD that had averaged more than 30 points per game couldn't even make and two play from the 10.

Wayne took the ball twice thereafter. But Wilson fumbled again to blunt one drive. Then Vaugl wbs smashed twice on pass attempts and threw two incomplete passes on his final try. "Apple Juice" was belted hard enough a couple of times to turn him into hard cider on yards and frequently had to resort to the shotgun formation to get some time to throw. Wayne's only sign of an offense came in the final five minutes of the first half when it scored two touchdowns to take a 14-7 lead.

A fumbled punt led to the first one' and when Eastern fumbled again on its first play from scrimmage the Tartars a first, down in the fourth quarter and was stopped with only 12 in the game. Fullback Tom Wilson fumbled three times and Eastern took the second one on the Wayne 27 yard line to drive in for the winner. It took quarterback Joe Davis six plays to take the Panthers in, hitting Jensen with a high pass on a third the spot. Eastern's grasping end, Bill Vang el, and roverman Ed Stephens never let him get outside on his favorite option sweeps all afternoon. And the alert Panther secondary kept the Wayne receivers blanketed.

THE IK OWN errors and a far from the best the Wolverines have played this season, it was the first time they have been able to come up with the big plays. In every other one of their gallant efforts, particularly during the five-game losing streak earlier, they had been victimized by opponents' big plays. During the first half the Wolverines were at their sloppiest. Brown had two passes conversion pass to flanker Tom Weinmann, an Ann Arbor sophomore who hadn't touched the football in a game all season. That tied the game at 14-14.

ON THE third play of the fourth quarter defensive safety Tom Curtis snatched a pass by Illinois' Dean Volkman and gave Michigan control of the ball on the Illini 45. Sophomore fullback Garvie Craw found his way for a 14- intercepted and both were turned into touchdowns by the Illini. Late in the first quarter they had to go only 36 yards with hard-running Rich Johnson going the last 16 yards through a porous Michigan defense for a touchdown. Then after nine minutes of the second quarter, the Illini had to go only 29 yards. Again it was Johnson who Turn to Page 20C, Column 4 yard gain to the 30.

(AP) Fort Marcy staged a thrilling stretch duel with favored Damascus Saturday and won mark to 2-3 and hfting their season record to 3-5.

Not bad considering there was a five-game losing streak to darken the picture early in the year. During the first half Michigan was plagued by mistakes and ineptness looking perhaps its worst of the year. But the defense came out to put life into the previously flat attack during the second half and that spelled the doom of the Illini. QUARTERBACK Dennis Brown pegged a couple of passes, including a scoring toss of seven yards to Berline, to get the Wolverines on the scoreboard after 12:54 of the second half. Again the Michigan defense held, and when Illinois had to punt, the conference's leading punt, the conference's leading raced 60 yards for a Wolverine touchdown.
