WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1966 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1966 TilE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE SEVEN LLOYD GRAFF SIJS, Whiff le Bali, And 'the Great Dilorenzi - The process of human taxonomy, the categorizing, compart- mentalizing stereotyping which slobbers over our fellow man's unique somethingness deserves a sharp thwacking. The Artist, the Negro, The Social Worker, The Jock, even The American Woman (Zounds) are the play things of the breeze shooters and the toys of master nook tuckers like Time, Life, and NBC. Of course we all categorize. We couldn't converse unless we did. And we all admit certain pegs are roundish and others are kind of square and they fit without too much jiggling into vaguely roundish and squarish holes. And I suppose there are trapezoidal holes for rather trapezodish people, though the notion isn't very appealing. I guess this is why I find it delectably refreshing to find a guy who is a round rhombus and a square oblong. Peter Dilorenzi-. Right now he's President of Voice political,,party, the local chapter of Students for a Democratic Society. Dilorenzi (this is his one and only name, like Fabian, Liberace, Passapartout, and Othello) is perhaps the sole would-be revolutionary who would like to manage the Philadelphia Phillies. And I am quite certain he's the only SDSer who gets a Christmas card every December from the Baltimore Colts. Dilorenzi is a refugee from The Daily sports staff. A Daily legend has it that on March 30, 1962, he got rather high. This, in itself, is hardly a Daily first. The problem was that Dilorenzi was also night editor on March 30th. Let it suffice to say that he wrote a headline that endures in Daily folklore, "Mother of Paret Comes to Gotham." The Sports Editor fired him the next day-temporarily. You see, it is practically impossible to stay mad at Dilorenzi. He's the most engaging revolutionary you'd ever want to meet, unless you knock his Baltimore Orioles. Dilorenzi has been known to gasp, scowl, therl walk out in smoliering contempt if a bad word is directed at Jerry Adair, the Oriole second baseman. And besides being the head of Voice, Dilorenzi is one of the better whiffle ball pitchers in the state. He's the only man ever to strike me out two straight times in The Daily parking lot, which attests to his prowess--I believe. He stands also as the acknowledged champion of Olympic Hockey, a board game with whirling steel men and a little wooden puck. Yes, this is the head of SDS. He was Instrumental in organizing the first Viet Nam teach- in, has worked devotedly for CORE, and served as a prime mover for the Days of Protest late last year. "Dilorenzi believes in the billiard theory of getting things done. He gets people angry and watches them bounce off each other," says a close friend. "He's one of the few people in the world who reads New Times, and I. F. Stone, and then dives into The Sporting News," remarks another. Dilorenzi is also probably the foremost fan of John Dickenson A Carr on this continent, except for maybe Carr's wife. If you've never heard of him, he writes winding mysteries set in the period of the French Revolution. Also a movie buff, at one time he wanted to be a rialto historian. Really it's hard to envision him ever "settling down" to a sedate, oirdered life. It would be as out of character as Soupy Sales running for Governor of Delaware. Dilorenzi is out of school now, spending full-time on Voice matters. He talks about going back next year as a grad student In Sociology or History, but he's equivocal. Honestly dedicated, . he's sanguine about the prospects of going to jail defending his beliefs if it ever came to that. In fact he thinks it wouldn't be bad at all if they just let him read. This marvelously nutty Italian, from Easton, Pennsylvania, possesses a mountainous ca'che of sports triva. His grasp of former Phillies and Orioles is extraordinary.Just ask him who Mary Blaylock and Frank Zupo (or was it Max) were.: And his knowledge of batting averages, while not comuter perfect, rates with the better campus baseball wizards. Personally, I think thatDilorenzi is cut out for only one job- to be general manager of a baseball team. He has a genius for making hypothetical trades of ballplayers that always benefit the Orioles or Phils. Incidentally, he had Frank Robinson traded to Baltimore years before the transaction ever took place. rivin By CHUCK VETZNER Acting Sports Editor The lay-up. The easiest shot inbasketball unless you're 6'5" and like to. dunk. The lay-up is the shot you just don't miss. Get up a good fast dribble, take off on one foot,. and flick the ball right in. Teams practice it before each' game. Sometimes they use it once or twice too. That's the whole trouble with this nice easy shot. When some- .body stands in front of you, wav- ing his arms, the best thing to do' is try a jumper. Lay-ups just don't go. People have tried to explain this to Iowa coach Ralph Miller. But Miller figures if the lay-up is the easiest way to score, his team is going to shoot lay-ups. Waiting Game He follows this policy with the determined stubbornness of a senile grandmother. You just can't argue with him even if it costs bis team some games. Pro-Millerites call it a patterned offense. That means passing and waiting until you get a man open for the nice easy lay-up. Such tactics don't, always work, and then Miller is' a man who ruins a good team by over-coach- ing it. Miller over-coached his team several times this year against the very worst teams in the Big Ten- Indiana, Northwestern, Purdue, and Wisconsin. His patterned offense has beat- en such top clubs as Minnesota, Michigan State, and on Monday night, Michigan. Wolverine assistant coach Jim.. Skala saw the Hawkeyes fall to Purdue, and he had an explana- tion. "They wouldn't shoot," he exclaimed. "They had men open for 15-footers, and they wouldn't shoot." Hawkeyes 'Lay-Up' ( Monday night, Iowa had men open for ten-footers, and, they didn't shoot. But they won because they got the lay-ups instead. In all, 19 of the 35 Hawkeye field- goals were scored on drives or lay-ups. "They were just a half step faster than we were," sighed head coach Dave Strack. Strack knew Miller was not go- ing to change his personality for the Michigan game. Strack knew t h a t the recalcitrant Miller wouldn't respond to the critics clamoring for him to take those ten foot shots. What Strack had to do was make sure there wouldn't be any lay-ups. His weapon was a 1-2-2 zone defense and the reasoning was excellent. Purdue used a zone to defeat the Hawks, and the Wol- verines had employed one last year when they shut the gates on Iowa. The whole purpose of a zone is to keep the area around the basket empty. If the zone could fence out Iowa, there would be no lay-ups. Snuck Through Nevertheless, Miller instructed his players to prod at the shield, and they met with greater success than even Miller could have ex- pected. Ben McGilmer, the sopho- more from Detroit who replaced the i neligible Jerry Jones, and Chris Pervall drove the base line and scored 46 points between them. Even more embarrassing, the Hawks frequently rambled straight down the lane, invading the Wolverine alley without the slightest fear of a beating from the Michigan bullies. With just a few minutes re- maining in the first half, Strack abandoned the zone and went to a standard man-to-man, but Iowa, kept driving away. Gap Widened In the second period the Wol- verines returned to the full court zone press that had been so suc- cessful of late. "The press worked better than anything else," .said Strack. "We didn't start the game with it because we figured theyf were expecting it." Miller, usingt similar reasoning, had his squadr drop the full court press they hadf been using all year.I Despite the renewed vigor ofe the defense, Michigan was stillE never able to catch up. EveryN time the Wolverines started to close the gap, Iowa would stretch the lead Michigan's final big chance seemingly occurred when Purvall, Gary Olson, and George Peeples fouled out in quick succession with six minutes left. But the Iowa bench that pro- duced McGilmore came up with Garry Gottshalk and sophs Hus- ton Breedlove and Dick Agnew. Instead of closing the gap, Michigan fell further and further b a c k. The Wolverines went through one stretch of making one out of nine field goals, and when they clustered around the boards for a possible rebound, Iowa sprinted down for a fast break. "We didn't play too bad," con- cluded Strack, "but not as 'well as we had been. Of course you us- ually don't when you lose." The loss cuts Michigan's con- Ragers ference lead to only a game, and the schedule includes a return match with Iowa and a grand finale with Michigan State. But Strack seems more confident than ever and promises, "We respect everyone we're going to play, but we don't intend to lose again." RACE TIGHTENS UP: Late MSU Spurt Stops Illini EAST LANSING (P)-Michigan State's pressurebasketballde- fense put the clamps on high- scoring Illinois last night for a 68-66 Big Ten victory. The victory brought the Spar- tans' conference record to 7-3, one game behind league-leading Michigan.. Illinois dropped into a third- place tie with Iowa at 6-4. All four contenders have four games remaining. Illinois entered the game aver- aging 87 points a game but the spirited Spartans, paced by seniors Bill Curtis and Stan Washington and junior Matt Aitch, were mas- ters. The score was tied at 51-51 with 6:40 remaining in the second half when Aitch hit a follow up shot putting the Spartans ahead to stay. State took a six-point lead 64-58 with 2:56 left. Illinois' Ron Dun- lap and Don Freeman scored bas- kets,: but State's John Bailey and Aitch then hit two free throws. Tied Six Times The score was tied six times in the first half and the lead changed hands each time. Jim Dawson's 17-foot jump shot with 16 seconds remaining gave Illinois a 32-31 halftime lead. Curtis led the Spartans with 23 points, followed by Washington and Aitch with 17 and 13 respec- tively. Freeman paced the Illini with 23 while Rich Jones added 16 and Dawson 13.

"The Cepeda for Banks and Altman deal," he says. "Sure," I reply incredulously. "OK, don't believe me. But it's true. " "Really." I respond in rising tone. "Cepeda for Banks and Altman." "Well, it kind of makes sense, I guess.". Then Dilorenzi slaps the egg over my puss by divulging his ruse. He's done it to me a dozen times, and he'll probably get away with it again. Dilorenzi is so boyishly, unjadedly convincing.
