Center Slot Now Liked By Rotunno By ED SAINSBUHY United Press Sports Writer Chicago (U.R) Mike Ro tunno, playing center for Michi gan in his second position shift in two years, has only one re gret, and thereby he becomes a counterpart of Coach Bennie Oostcrbaan. "I didn't know whether I'd like center or not," said the one time fullback who later was a second string end behind Ron Kramer. "Now I think it's the best spot to play on the team." "Rotunno has contributed im mensely to our game," Ooster- baan said, and there he stopped. A year ago Michigan lost its chance for the Big Ten title and the Rose Bowl when it lost to Ohio State on the final Satur day of the season. The Buckeyes crashed through the line for the line for the triumph, and wheth er a linebacker of Rotunno's ability would have turned the tide is questionable. Another Chance This year Michigan has an other chance at the Rase Bowl, if not at the conference crown and if Rotunno keeps going, the Wolverines might get the post season trip. The league cham pionship, though, could be a , closed issue unless somebody beats Michigan State. The Spartans defeated the Wolverines, 9-0, to take com mand in the title chase, and the Michigan victory came despite a 60 minute performance by Ro tunno. Rotunno, a 196-pound, 21-year-old senior from Canton,. Ohio, began his grid career at full back, but last year he was a second string end behind Kram er. This year he started out be hind Kramer until Oosterbaan switched him to center. "At center I know I'm going to be playing a lot" Rotunno said. "I always did like defense and you get plenty of chances for tackles. I liked both end and fuHback, but it's more fun to be a first stringer thap playing be hind Kramer, because with him in there, the next fellow doesn't get much chance."

Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY Sports Writer United Press New York (U.R) AI (The Vest) Weill, whose shrewdness led Rocky Marciano out of no where to fistic glory, today picked young Floyd Patterson to succeed his retired gladiator as heavyweight champion of the world. "You've got to go with youth," Weill explained as he contem plated the fight between Patter son and ancient Archie Moore at Chicago Stadium on Nov. 30 for the vacant title. "That will tell the whole story." Weill, who has had four world champions during his managerial career and is a recognized au thority on contrasting styles, ig nored the 13-to-5 odds currently favoring the 40-year-old Archie over the 21-year-old Patterson. "This fight won't go the dis tance and when you have a couple of hard punchers like this, anything can happen," Weill admitted. "If they were a couple of feather dusters and it was going to go 15 rounds, then it would be hard to say what might happen. Youthful Pressure Important "But even in a slugging match where either guy might land a finishing punch," he added, "you still have to go with youth. What I mean is that Patterson can keep running at Moore and he won't have to back off and take a second breath here and there. Keeping that youthful pressure on Moore should tell the story." Weill still is bewildered and "really hurt" over Marciano's charges, in a recent magazine series, that Al the Vest was a tyrant who ruled his life with an iron and unrelenting hand. "I've taken a lot of raps and most of them you can shrug off." Weill said soberly. "But I think I did a good job for Rocky and 1 was thinking of his best interests all the way down the line." Weill lone was "rapped" for the slow manner in which he "brought Marciano along." Record Speaks For Itself 'He needed that kind of handling and I don't believe in rushing my fighters the way some others do," Al asserted. "I guess you'd have to say that Rocky's record speaks for itself. Whether he was brought along slowly or not, he won the title, didn't he?" .Weill also denied that he had tried to keep Marciano from re tiring. "If you can't fight, well, you can't fight," he snorted. "And no matter what some people say, I never needed or took blood money. I've retired 25 fighters in my time because they didn't have it any more or be cause they were in danger of being hurt." Weill pointed out that he re fused to let Lou Ambers make a comeback and that he forced Marty Servo to give up the wel terweight crown because of a nose injury. "Everybody works for money," Weill argued, "but no matter what they say, there's no blood on mine. $Cjj95 WINTER SERVICE SPECIAL .' ALL MAKES OF CARS 1.

Pres ident James D. Norris of the International Boxing Club esti mated today.

Scaled for S471.000 "The house is scaled for S471.- 000 with tickets priced from S5 to $30 and we feel it's a very attractive match," Norris said "Adding the television, we think we will pay off on about a half million dollars net to the fight ers.

Around Hollywood By ALINI MOSBY United Preu Correspondent (effiii'turJreflTiin Hollywood (U.R) In 18 cities around the country a bombshell has blasted the entertainment T9 lunrM onH Hnl. , . : lywood experts say it will set pay-TV back at leastthree years but make it inevi table. From Se attle to Syra cuse, TV sta tions have Aline Mcbj bcgun running the backlog of MGM's mighty star-studded, multimillion dollar pre-1948 movies. In Hollywood the advertising agency that sponsored the show here for S15.000 a night, the TV station, MGM and the local thea ters carefully watched the re sults. More than $100,000 was poured out to advertise the first movie, "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo," and another S600 was spent on a special survey of 2,000 viewers. The survey showed that "Thirty Seconds" drew 2 million viewers in this area, or 54 per cent of the viewing audience. That was more viewers than all six other Los Angeles sta tions put together. Show business circles have talked of little else since "Thirty Seconds" came to town. Now that the smoke has cleared, the ex perts predict the MGM "experi ment" probably . means this to viewers: 1. Pay-TV is on the ' shelf while the backlogs of top pic ture that MGM, 20th Century Fox and RKO sold to TV are run off. "People won't pay to see top movies on TV when they i can see a "Thirty Seconds' for ( free," one executive says. ! 2. Pay-TV now seems inevi table, according to industry sources. After these backlogs j have been shown on television, j audiences still will want to see top movies at home. "The success of these MGM movies shows that networks ! aren't delivering the best pro-, grams the motion picture stu-1 dios are," one TV executive says. "The networks can't possibly af ford to put millions of dollars into one show. Neither can spon sors." He forecasts that within a few years, the TV networks, the mo tion picture studios and possibly top theater chains will go into partnership for the production of movies. Dick Moore, head of the inde pendent Los Angeles station KTTV, which leased the MGM backlog, says the station switch board had been "flooded with calls from viewers thanking us for running these nictures." So far MGM has raked in estimated $28 million In rentals from only 18 cities for their ol.d, already-paid-for movies.
