The most despised play in the Michigan playbook, the fullback plunge up the middle, is ne. And what is more remarkable, it is being missed. The dislike for the fullback plunge was never general. In ct, loathing was confined solely to those who paid their way to Michigan Stadium to watch the Wolverines, and to those ho followed the team on the radio. To these people, "first and uttlesworth" was the epitome of dullness. But Bo Schembechler liked the idea of his fullback ripping to the middle of an opposition's defense, and he is the only erson whose opinion matters. This Spring, however, Bo was forced to make a tactical de- sion. Both power fullbacks, Ed Shuttlesworth and Bob Thorn- adh, had graduated and their replacements were two injury- one sophomores. Gritting his teeth, Bo switched tailback uck Heater to fullback. Heater is an excellent athlete, with more quickness than most illbacks. But at 205 pounds, he was obviously not going to run er many people, and the offensive line has not been clearing ies out of his path. The result has been an offensive dislocation. The fullback unge may have been dull and mind-rotting, but it was vir- ally guaranteed to gain three yards. This year, opponents have en taking the middle game away from Michigan. At Wisconsin; the Wolverines used the outside running game set up the inside plunges, the reverse of the accepted tactics every coaching textbook. Cal Stoll had an interesting point as he surveyed the ruins last Saturday's game. "We had hoped to keep the Wolverines side. If we'd have done that, there would be no way they uld've gotten 49 points on us." In a way, all this is unnecessary, since there is a fine big Illback on Michigan's roster, a freshman from Shuttlesworth's d high school in Cincinnati, Scott Corbin. Corbin moved right in as second string fullback, and, in ited action, has played fine ball. His best performance to date me at Stanford, where he replaced an injured and ineffective eater and contributed some clutch runs to the fourth quarter ive that clinched the game. All told, Corbin has gained 120 yards in 24 carries so far is year, and has also contributed some effective backfield ocking, a quantity Michigan has often lacked this season. Nor can one fault Corbin's attitude. "Michigan's got an all -ound good system," he claims. "It's geared so that everybody as to do their part for it to be a success." Chuck Heater, through his unfortunate tendency to fumble, as lost much support among the perfectionist Michigan fans, nd a move to Corbin would arouse little popular discontent. x "; i
