Cheerleaders cannot be found. The wave does not leave Michigan Stadium. Their enthusiam for competitive football comes from within themselves. They are a special breed, living out dreams on an 80 yard gridiron with ar- tificial referees. AND NOW the playoffs have begun. Players sacrifice their bodies for the winning cause. They become dirty, bloody, angry, frustrated and some get happy. Out of the few hundred teams that began this year, only a handful will remain. In the playoffs teams strive for the pride, the glory, the self esteem of being number one. The intensity is thrilling. IM football playoff fever. Catch it! IM Roundup goal line with just three minutes remaining and returned it 79 yards for a touchdown helping fourth ranked Chi Phi to a 12-0 playoff victory over Phi Alpha Kappa. Chi Phi (4-0) now moves into the quarter finals. "Once I saw the screen pass," Sch- winke said, "I just stepped in front and picked it off. There was no one near me. I knew the game was over." Chi Phi's 'Chi R A' defense held Phi Alpha Kappa on every series. The 'Chi R A' has not yielded a point all season. "We do a lot of stunts," said defen- sive coordinator Larry Fromm. "Sometimes we blitz two or three guys. It can frustrate the other team." Graduate/Facuilty/Sta ft D1 'B' 14, Law Big Dogs 8: It was a matchup made in heaven. The future dentists vs. the future lawyers. One group will fix teeth and the other group will use teeth to smile at jurys and win cases. In the professional world the two have little in common. On the football field they have even less in common. The game had the makings of a classic. And it did not disappoint. Vince Mack completed a sizzling 18 passes out of 20 attempts, including touchdown passes of 30 and 50 yards, as fifth ranked DI-'B' (the future dentists) upset second ranked Law Big Dogs (the future lawyers) 14-8. "It's good to beat those guys," said D1-'B's Dave "chunx" Wright. "Everyone looks to them as being the best." No longer. Mack riddled the Dogs' defense, leading D1-'B' to 10 first downs to the Dogs' four. Bob Hager caught the 30 yard toss, while Rob Stewart caught the 50 yard bomb. 4 It Indepen)Cfdenft 4 The Plow 16, U-I Stoners 6: When scheduling for the playoffs, The Plow's Stuart Plesser noticed a U-I Stoners team member also signing up. Having just lost to the U-I Stoners team in the season finale, Plesser sensed a chance for sweet revenge. He put the Plow in the same bracket with the Stoners. And, oh, how sweet it was! John Eisenhart threw a 40 yard bomb to Kenny Gross and The Plow came from behind to defeat'the U-I Stoners, 16-6, in a first round playoff game in the Independent league. "It was bad blood out there," said Plesser. "I purposely scheduled next to them." Plesser helped his team's cause by intercepting a Stoners' pass after the Stoners had driven deep into The Plow territory. The Plow's other score was a short Eisenhart pass to Ira Warshaw. Chi Phi's first touchdown came quarterback Brian Connybeare's yard pass to Jerry Adams. on 40 W~omien Hunt SMA 6, Too Much 0: It was a very physical game," said Hunt SMA's Collen Greene. "Those chicks were going at it. A lot of heavy hitting. There was a lot of stuff going on on the line." Such intensity helped make this a low scoring, yet exciting game. The game's only tally came when Jennifer Giesey caught a short flair out, made a neat cut between two defenders and dashed 15 yards into the end zone. But Hunt SMA was anchored by its defense. It built a brick wall and held Too Much on two different goal line stances. One of the key plays of the game came when Greene intercepted a pass in her end zone late in the contest to halt a Too Much drive.
