Early years

A native of Toledo, Ohio, Glinka attended Toledo Catholic Central High School. In 1959, he enrolled at the University of Michigan.

1960 season

As a sophomore, Glinka played in all nine games at quarterback for the 1960 Michigan Wolverines football team.[1][2][3] He made his debut as Michigan's starting quarterback in the season opener against Oregon. Glinka completed 5 of 11 passes against Oregon and threw two touchdown passes (to George Mans and Scott Maentz) to lead the Wolverines to a 21-0 victory.[1][4] Against Michigan State in the second game of the 1960 season, Glinka completed 6 of 19 passes for 96 yards.[1] In the third game of the 1960 season, Glinka led the Wolverines to a 31-6 win over Duke. Glinka completed 8 of 14 passes for 111 yards.[1] On the first drive of the second half against Duke, Glinka led the Wolverines to a touchdown with passes of 34 yards to Scott Maentz, 11 yards to Bob Johson and 5 yards to Dennis Fitzgerald.[5] In week four, Glinka led Michigan to a 14-7 win over Northwestern, throwing a 50-yard touchdown pass to Bob Johnson; Johnson caught three of Glinka's passes in the game for 97 yards.[1] In the fifth game of the season, Glinka was intercepted twice in 10-0 loss to Minnesota. In the sixth game, Glinka completed 7 of 18 passes in a loss to Wisconsin. During the 1960 season, Glinka completed 54 of 124 passes for 755 yards and five interceptions. However, he also threw 11 interceptions in nine games during the 1960 season.[1]

1961 season

As a junior in 1961, Glinka again appeared in all nine games for the Wolverines.[6] Glinka had his best game in a 16-14 victory over Purdue in October 1961. Glinka completed 9 of 11 passes for 170 yards, including a game-winning 72-yard touchdown pass to Bennie McRae in the third quarter. After the game, Michigan head coach Bump Elliott said, "He really came through out there. It was his best day."[7] Three weeks later, Glinka had another strong showing in 28-14 win over Duke. Glinka was four-for-eight passing and threw two touchdown passes, including a 45-yard touchdown pass to Robert Brown.[1] During the 1961 season, Glinka completed 46 of 96 passes for 588 yards, five touchdowns and five interceptions.[1]

1962 season

As a senior in 1962, Glinka began the season as Michigan's No. 1 quarterback. An Associated Press story in the spring of 1962 touted the strength of Michigan's quarterbacking corps and said of Glinka: "No. 1 quarterback, of course, is the ever-improving Toledo senior Dave Glinka. He's in solid with his bosses after two seasons as the leading signal caller. Michigan has been 5-4 and 6-3 in those seasons."[8] Glinka was injured in the fourth game of the season against Purdue, underwent knee surgery on October 23, 1962, and missed the remainder of the 1962 season.[9][10][11]

Career statistics

In his three years as a quarterback at Michigan, Glinka completed 107 of 237 passes for 1,394 yards, 10 touchdowns and 17 interceptions.[1]
