BARR STILL LIMPING:
Grid Practice Stresses Pass Defense

By DAVE LYON
Phi Gamma Delta's "A" touch
football team qualified for the
I-M social fraternity championship
game by surprising Lambda Chi
Alpha, 15-14, in a see-saw semi-
final match at Wines Field last
night.
At the same time, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon bested Delta Tau Delta,
18-7, in the other first-place play-
off game.
The Phi Gams seized an early
2-0 lead when Tom Anderle trap-
ped LCA tailback Fred LeMire in
his own end zone for a safety.
Jack Wheeler then passed to Clint
Wagner for a touchdown and to
Gene Honeyman for the extra
point to up the margin to 9-0.
Just before the half, however,
LCA's Jerry Dangl threw a long
touchdown pass to Bob Clark andE
then scored the point to close
the gap at 9-7.

SHORT GAIN - Phi Gam Don Young leads interference
for teammate Fred Lyons in last night's I-M football thriller.
The Phi Gams topped Lambda Chi Alpha, 15-14, to gain the
final round of the 'A' social fraternity playoffs.

Shortly after the intermissiof,
LeMire passed to Dick Good for
another TD, then scored the extra
point to provide LCA with a 14-9
lead.
With just a few minutes left,
Anderle went all the way with
Wheeler's long heave, providing
the Phi Gams with the necessary
points to win.
Tony Hoffman passed to Bill
Mesdagh twice for scores as SAE!
romped to victory.
Tau Delta Phi made two early
touchdowns stand up for a 13-6
win over Zeta Beta Tau in second-
place "A" playoff contest.
Jack Roth hurled two touch-
down passes to lead Pi Lambda
Phi to a spirited 12-6 win over
Kappa Sigma in a fraternity "B"
first-place semifinal.
In fourth-place "A" playoffs,
Beta Theta Pi edged Zeta Psi, 12-6,
and Chi Phi eliminated Alpha Sig-
ma Phi, 13-6.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon scored a
6-0 second-place "B" playoff vic-
tory over Phi Kappa Sigma; Phi
Sigma Kappa ousted Delta Tau
Delta from "B" third-place play-
offs, 7-0; and Phi Gamma Delta
forfeited to Phi Kappa Tau in a
scheduled fourth-place game.
Miscellaneous residence halls
scores were Taylor 6, Michigan 0;
and Kelsey "B" 18, Williams "B"
13 in overtime.
Correction: -Phi Delta Theta de-
feated Tau Kappa Epsilon, not Phi
Kappa Tau, as reported in yester-
day's Daily.
I-M VOLLEYBALL SCORES
Actuaries 5, Disks 1

Cold weather couldn't cool off
the fired-up Wolverine team which '
effortlessly ran through yester-
day's practice session.
The drills, which found the
players yelling and clapping their
hands, centered mainly on setting
up a defense which would be able
to stop the Illini.
Stress Defense
A good share of the time was
spent on pass defense which was
surprising, since Illinois is con-
sidered mainly a running team.
The scrimmaging, which lasted

only ten minutes, found the first
and second stringers constantly
breaking through the scrubs and
into the open.
Barr Late
Terry Barr was late coming out
to practice and was limping no-
ticeably. Oosterbaan decided not
to have him work out yesterday
and used Shannon at right half
on the first team, while Mike Sha-
tusky worked out with the second
squad.
Apparently the light drill and

pi'q ie... MIKE ROTUNNO

By DALE CANTOR
Observed at an interview with
Mike Rotunno:
..A personable young man
with a ready smile . . . A varsity
football player whose new-found
glory is well-hidden by the unpre-
tentlousness of a senior.
. ..A 20-yr. old center who is
looking forward to a professional
football career . . . A native of
Canton, 0., majoring in Social
Studies.
You may connect some of these
observations with the Mike Ro-
tunno who was a second string end
last year, but this year's Rotun-
no - a first string center - is
somebody new.
Initial Change
The initial change took place
last spring when Rotunno made
the shift from the No, two left end
spot to the center slot. It wasn't
the first change of position for
him - he was switched from full-
back to end after he reported for
the varsity at the beginning of his
college grid career.
He's been nothing short of bril-
liant at the center slot all season.
Always a strong defensive player,
Rotunno makes a lot of sharp
blocks after he centers the ball.
Coach Bennie Oosterbaan said,
"Rotunno has contributed im-
mensely to our game."
Several weeks ago, a headline
appeared - "Rotunno Happy at
Center on Michigan Grid Squad."
Happy? You bet he is! He's play-
ing a lot, and he's met the chal-
lenge of playing at a new position
and playing it well.

Let's take a closer look at the
center position and judge for our-
selves the difficulty of adapting
to it.
It is no child's play to hold a
football out at arm's-length on
the ground in front of you and
roll it back so that it passes be-
tween your feet, and still preserve

short scrimmage were utilized in
the hope that the Wolverines
would not pick up any more inju-
ries before Saturday's big game
with Illinois, who have won the
last five out of six contests against
Michigan.
Marciniak Out
Sophomore guard, Jerry Marcin-
iak was the only gridder who was
not suited for the practice. He is
still resting from a chest injury
and it is very doubtful if he will
play this weekend.

brawn will be overthrown, and
that is patience. The center will
be called upon to face all kinds of
petty annoyances, for his oppo-
nents will endeavor to make hisj
play as difficult as possible.
In addition to this, every man
who breaks through gives him a
rub. Sometimes these knocks are
intentional, often they are given
purely by accident, and the latter
are by no means the lightest.
Faces Harassments
These are just a few of the
harassments Rotunno faces. In or-
der to make the grade, he had
to master these techniques, plus
many others. His efforts have
been somewhat realized - his
teammates laud his "linebacking
ability" and his "tremendous
adaptation."
Rotunno is one of the most fer-
vent Michigan partisans of the
day. He cannot be described as a
"good loser", except in the super-
ficial sense of the word. He can
keep calm, of course, but his spir-
it hates defeat, and he plays sys-
tematically and with all his wits
for victory.
It is preposterous to think that
he does not feel unhappy when
Michigan loses, or that he does
not make up his mind that a de-
feat must not occur for the samea
reason again.

AP Chooses
UCLA Back
By The Associated Press
Don Shinnick, 20-yr.-old senior
quarterback at UCLA, was chosen
Associated Press back of the week
yesterday for his great play both
offensively and defensively against
Stanford last Saturday.
Shinnick, a 6', 200-pounder, was
in virtually every play as UCLA
upset Stanford, 14-13. He was the
leader in the rush-and-ruination
of Stanford's John Brodie, and his
blocking made possible many
gains for his ball carriers.
Shinnick's one conversion was
the victory margin. He blocked the
second Stanford conversion at-
tempt which, if successful, would
have meant a tie.
John Herrnstein of Michigan
gained voting support for his sec-
ond half play that brought the
Wolverines a 17-14 victory over
Iowa.
The sophomore fullback gained
66 yards in 18 rushes, mostly in
Michigan's two long drives for
touchdowns in the third and
fourth periods.
