University, the NAIA's No. 1 team, brings its fourteen game win streak into Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon. The Cats have developed a penchant for inviting lofty opponents to their homecomings and then humiliating them before the alumni. pionship playoffs," Waters add- The Livingston offense compliments its defense with an equally hardnosed ground game. The Tigers rely on the outside running and short passing game The WCl defense has had its big moments this season also as It is giving up only 12 points per game and has created a total of 21 opponent turnovers.
