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. -Daily-Ed Graff 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.

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. .r ;L,. Clei .4, .'Ci ?r.: .. JL: t.:: .i'W 44 a. 4r,.
