chase them."
Always smiling, Morgan is
friendly and sincere. He greets you
with a firm handshake and puts
his feet up on the coffee table
while you talk. His arm looks like
a writer's leg, and his neck might
have come from a bull.
Awesome Figure
The muscles might easily strike
a little fear into your heart, but
the jovial face and the wide grin
assure you that his tensions are
saved for the football field.
"I never see an opponent's face,"
he says. "Oh, once in a while some
guy will make some faces at me,
just to get me mad, but usually
I just see their legs and uniforms."
"And every so often some boy
will come along with lots of clip-
pings and press releases, and we
like to 'stuff' him a little, but you
can't get too personal. You loss
your timing and might make
stupid mistakes."
The mistakes Dennis Morgan
makes on a football field are few.
Michigan's defensive line is strong
without Morgan-with him it is
close to being impermeable. The
injury is in the past and all but
forgotten; Wolverine opponents
will not forget.

WOLVERINE LINEBACKER Dennis Morgan meets a Duke runner
in last Saturday's 10-7 victory. Morgan, a senior, led the Michigan
defenders with 24 tackles, 5 of which were unassisted. His per-
formance won him the week's Wolverine Award.

If numbers can tell the story,
Morgan already is a great one.
When he was hurt last year, he
was leading the Big Ten in tackles,
and had not started the first two
games of the season. During the
Purdue game he had 16 unassisted
tackles, and -helped on eight more,
for a total of 24, his finest day
ever.
Morgan was nominated - for

the week" award for his efforts
