THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1967 THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURDAY NOVMBE 2,967 HE ICHIAN AIL PAGE SEVEN ~NNeu By BILL LEVIS What a difference two games can make in the life of a football team and a player. Two weeks ago, Michigan State pasted Michigan with a 34-0 set- back, the -worst defeat the Wolver- ines had suffered at the hands o: the Spartans in their 70 year rivalry. Last week though, Michigan came back strong and just misseC upsetting Rosebowl-minded Min- nesota, who surprised Michigan State 21-0 the Saturday before, The Wolverines just couldn't hang on to a 15-0 lead and dropped a heartbreaker to the Gophers 20-15 when Minnesota scored a lati fourth quarter touchdown to keep the Little Brown Jug in Min- neapolis for still another year. The player, George Hoey, had trouble all day long against Mich. igan State and was beaten badly on a touchdown pass late in th( first half. The fleet-footed corner. back didn't start the next weel against Indiana but was back it the starting lineup against Min. nesota because Doug Nelson was slowed down by the sore knee which has bothered him all season. Before the Minnesota game, Hoe: switched from left to right cor- nerback and the change seemed to make all the difference in the world. Not only did Hoey start, but, according to defensive back- field coach Don James, 'he graded out the best among the backs. The switch helped him work harder. "George also received the kick- ing star award last weekend for running back four punts for a total of 140 yards," James noted. One 53-yard runback set up a field goal by Mike Hankwitz late in the first half and another of 54 yards, with less than a minute remaining in the game, gave the Wolverines one last opportunity to score against the tough Gopher defense. Unfortunately for the Maize and Blue, the clock ran out as quarterback Dennis Brown was thrown for his second straight loss. James said, "We have been rea close all year in running punts back like that but either our block ing wall was too shallow or the opponent's punter would kick the ball to the wrong side. Still, we weren't catching the ball and we had to work on that in practice. And last weekend everything just went right. The blocking wal was in the right location and the punts were long and to the righ side. "Those longer punts make i easier to run the ball back an Spot the Answer for Hoey GEORGE HOEY (12) tackles Spartan halfback Dwight Lee (34) in Michigan's 34-0 loss to Michigan State on October 14. On the whole however, it was a disappointing afternoon for Hoey who was beaten by Al Brenner for a decisive 70 yard touchdown pass. school but never under the corner- back system," he said. While his greatest asset is speed, Hoey also feels that quickness helps. Quickness is especially im- portant for Hoey who is only 5' 10" because he must guard against receivers who sometimes tower over him. Still, James does not see Hoey's lack of height as a detriment. "Three of the four All-Pro defen- sive backs three years ago were 5' 10". The important thing is the timing of the ball and getting up high," he stated. The cornerback spot has been called the loneliest spot on the football field yet Hoey .likes the position. "I really love it. Still, whenever I catch a punt, it's like offense again and I still like that." Of all the plays, Hoey finds special coverage the hardest to defend against. "On these one-on- one deep routes, the good receiver has the advantage in knowing where he is going," James added. When the football season is over, Hoey trades in his football cleats for track shoes. "This winter, I'll be running the 60-yard dash and maybe the 300 indoors. Outside, I'll run the 100-yard dash and the 440 relay," Hoey said. If he had his choice between the two sports though, football would win out, hands down. "I !have a love for the game. I ran track because it was there and I had natural talent for it. But football requires more skill and I like working for precision. Foot-; ball may be a glory sport but I just play it for the fun of the game." When the subject swings around to coach James, Hoey bubbles with enthusiasm. "He's helped me a lot. The players like him too. He is a straight forward fellow. And he's helped me more than anyone else." BURSLEY PEP RALLY AND MIXER FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3 8:00 P.M.

RYCKMAN (Degree Program) we got them against Minnesota," James said. Then what was the importance of the shift to right cornerback? "I was more cautious on the right side because it felt awkward to me and I had to play it for what it was rather than being a natural at it. I thought playing left corner- back was much easier because it was natural for me to run out of the left into the right," Hoey asserted. "I also had not played for a couple of weeks and I was kind of anxious to get back in the line- up. When I got a chance to get back in, I wanted to make the most of it." James felt that one of Hoey's problems early in the season had been lack of experience. "The whole secondary was green and we had to scrimmage after the Mich- igan State game to get ourselves tougher." The backfield coach also ex- pressed the feeling that Hoey was hampered last spring when he ran track while working out with the football team. "Football hurt his track and the track hurt his football." Hoey agreed, "Adjusting to the cornerback system was difficult! when I was running track. Sure I got the feel of the position dur- ing spring ball and during the fall, it really came around." The speedy back also felt that the absence of any returning de- fensive backs made it hard to learn the position. Hoey played in the offensive backfield in high school but was switched to the de- fense when he came to Michigan.
