)age Six THE !MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, December 3, 1969 Healy discusses Wolverine campaign By TERRI FOUCHEY Brian Healy, since he led his high school team to the state championship of Ohio and was named All-State and high school All-America, has had, obviously, a lot of big moments in his life. But a little sign placed in the Michigan lockerroom last January began the path to his biggest moment. The sign, put up by Coach Schembechler at the start of win- ter conditioning stated simply, "Those who stay will be cham- pions." Last Saturday, Healy and the others who stayed became champions. And the sign had helped. It offered incentive and helped foster in the team a tre- mendous cohesiveness. As Healy describes this situ- ation, "We had just as good mate- rial my sophomore year but we weren't as tight a unit. From the beginning of winter conditioning this year there was no class dis- tinction on the team. We usually call the sophomores 'rookies' and this year it's more in a joking manner than before." Healy is not only part of aI championship team but also a member of what many consider to be the best defensive secondary in the country. He gives several rea- sons for the secondary's success. "Small, fast men make the best pass defenders and the three of us certainly fit the small part of this formula. We have at times been bad tacklers but that's not our main job, pass coverage is.' ANOTHER REASON is the fact that "we're very well coached by Coach Hunter." He adds, "We're well-prepared, too. We don't just' go through pass coverage but we study individual tendencies and cuts. This makes it a lot easier to cover because if a receiver makes a certain cut I know he's going in- to a certain pattern and can ad- just to it." As far as thtir tackling is con- cerned, Healy feels that it im- proved as they learned it. "Tack- ling is just a matter of knowing how. You have to explode into the guy, not just stand there and ex- pect him to fall over your body." Healy's method of explosion in- spired teammate Paul Staroba to nickname him "Hornet" because he's little and he stings. During many practices Staroba had been on the receiving end of his stings. His size makes Healy one of the smallest players in the Big Ten. It has not, however, made him afraid of any particular receiver or of injury. "Nobody goes onto the field with the intention of hurting anyone. I know I've hurt a few guys but I didn't feel bad and I know the guy who hurt me last year didn't feel bad either. You just go out there to do your job and sometimes that means someone gets hurt." HE'D LIKE to give the pros a try in spite of his size but he's very interested in going to medical school. "I picture myself making a living as a doctor, not playing pro football." The medical school was a factor in his choice of Michigan and he likes the overall orientation of the campus. "Learning here is 75 per cent from books and 25 per cent from influences outside of classes -the contact with all kinds of people and ideas." This formula has worked for Healy. He received the Dr. Arthur D. Robinson award as the out- standing senior scholar on the team. He has maintained a B average throughout college. HIS ONLY major complaint about the campus is the prevalent attitude toward athletes. "Athletes are looked down upon, the "dumb jock" idea. People don't seem to want to realize that you're an in- dividual, a human being with something more to you than just being an athlete." He is proud of the fact that the defense forced 42 opposition turn- overs with interceptions account- ing for 24 of these. The intercep- of 28 in one year, But we forced tions were, he thinks, part of the them to throw and we were sur- consequences teams paid for "hav- prised that we managed to grab ing to throw."

Wisconsin fires Coata Sanders challenges NBA/ By The Associated Press 0 MADISON - Wisconsin Coach John Coatta, who suffered through three losing campaigns at the Badger football helm, was fired last night. Athletic Director Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch said a search for a new head coach would begin immediately. * * * ! CHICAGO - Alphra Saunders, former Bradley University bas- ketball star, filed a $2.5 million suit against the National Basketball Association Tuesday, challenging the NBA player draft as uncon- stitutional. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court by attorneys Phillip Festoso and Phillip Witt. It charges that the NBA "unlawfully con- spired" to bar Saunders from competition that the draft system "deprived him of his right to earn a livelihood in his chosen pro- fession." Saunders, now a math teacher at Chicago's Harper High School and a player on local teams, allegedly was involved in the 1961 college basketball scandal. Reportedly, he and a Bradley teammate, Tim Robinson, rejected bribe offers but failed to report them to authori- ties. They were expelled from school. * * * * LOS ANGELES - Sid Smith, All Coast offensive tackle for the University of Southern California, underwent a knee operation Monday and will miss the Rose Bowl game against Michigan Jan. 1, USC officials said Tuesday. Smith, a senior from Long Beach, injured the knee in practice before the University of Washington game. ABERDEEN, Scotland - Anti-Apartheid demonstrators in- vaded the field at Aberdeen's Linksfield Stadium Tuesday and stopped the rugby union game between the South Africans and North Scotland.

The moment I mention the subject, the reader will perhaps think that the film is noble and worthwhile but that he is willing to take its worth for granted and spare himself. This would be self-cheating: not of in- formation of duty but of human- ity and, in a paradoxical way, of joy. WARRENDALE is a documen- tary about emotionally disturbed children. It is not a study, it is not propaganda. It is an experi- ence, passionate and compassion- ate." - Stanley Kaufmann, Satur- day Review Environmental Action For Survival PRESENTS DONALD MICHAEL Author and Program Director of CENTER FOR RESEARCH ON UTILIZATION OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE 'ENVIRONMENTAL KNOWLEDGE, POLITICS, PASSIONS AND PERSPECTIVES' DECEMBER 3-7:30 P.M.
