"Another great Meechigan defensive stand by Bo's fired up legion of marauders. I haven't seen a defensive stand like that since 1945' when Fritz Crisler's boys held back a strong OSU squad, 7-3, in the closing seconds." Or, "Lytle sweeps left end for 12 yar- ds and a Meechigan first down. All- Americans Walt Downing and Mark Donahue thre the key blocks on that play." *Who? Where did those names come from? Downing. Donahue. Hennessey. Anderson. It seems that if they're not right in front of your eyes in Michigan Stadium, then you just about forget them. Well, they're still alive and well-and playing football. But now, football is their occupation and the're earning money for doing what they do best. Hennessey, a starting defensive tackle here two years ago, has sur- prisingly earned a starting berth with the New York Jets as an outside linebacker. Downing holds down the starting center spot for 0. J. Simpson and the San Francisco 49ers. Anderson is the NFL's leading intercepter with four as an outside linebacker for Bart Starr's Green Bay Packers. Finally, Donahue is the messenger guard for the Cincinnati Bengals. Other recent Michigan graduates in the professional ranks include Rod Lytle, a starting running back at Den- starter. "I was a bit surprised myself. I really love the lifestyle. It's like a full- time job., "You have to have more self discipline during the season (than in college). You really have to watch yourself because there aren't as many rules," said the Chicago native. Anderson agrees entirely with Hen- nessey on the discipline necessary for pro football. "You have to place more emphasis on personal discipline. You have to prepare your body for much severe," continued the former academic All-American in Natural Resources. All of these former Wolverines had to prove themselves again when training camp opened this fall. Donahue had even more to prove because the two- time All-American was drafted all the way down to the eleventh round by the Bengals. "I thought I'd be drafted earlier but when we went to camp, we still had to show ourselves." "Everything's turned out real well. Bama, (USC to tangle Downing, meanwhile, is in a state of lux with the 49ers. "We've had some real bad breaks, things you'll have when you're putting together new management." "It's not bad (life in pro football). I'm still adjusting to it. But it's totally dif- ferent here-I wake up and I go to my job which is football. You have to get in- to it to do well. There are no foxes in this game," Downing said. They all seemed pretty optimistic for their own futures, although none of them had any immediate plans except -they all plan to watch this Saturday's Michigan-Notre Dame game. Downing remarked, "Michigan better win or I'll lose a lot of money. You see, I have two teammates from Notre Dame. I won't be able to speak for a month if they lose." Whether the're in New York or San Francisco or Cincinnati, they all rern- ber you. But will you remember them? CATCH WAS MAMMOTH MUNICH, West Germany (AP) Heinz Kretschmann, 50, cast his lino into the Inn River in Munich, hopingto catch a trout. But he hooked a huge bone instead. Investigation later revealed it was the thigh bone of a mammoth which died about 10 million years ago. FORMER MICHIGAN STAR John Anderson gets off a punt in last year's 23-6 win against Iowa. Anderson is but one of a number of former Wolverine stand- outs to be playing in the NFL today. BASEBALL ROUNDUP Tigers edge Birds in tenth, 7-5 By The Associated Press ! BALTIMORE-The Detroit Tigers scored two runs in the 10th inning on Lance Parrish's sacrifice fly and a run- scoring triple by Alan Trammell and beat the Baltimore Orioles 7-5 last night. Rusty Staub drove in four runs for Detroit, which tied the game at 5-5 with three runs in the seventh inning, thanks to shoddy play by Baltimore outfielders., With one out, Trammell hit a high fly which went for a triple when Ken Singleton and Larry Harlow got their signals crossed and the ball fell safely. After a run-scoring single by Steve Dillard and a single by Ron LeFlore, Staub hit a two-out fly to left which Pat Kelly appeared to lose in the lights, the ball falling not fr from his feet for a two- run double.. Jason Thompson opened the 10th with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on the fly ball by Parrish. A single by Aurelio Rodriguez and Trammell's triple produced an in- surance run off loser Mike Flanagan, 18-14. Indians 8, Yankees 7 CLEVELAND-Rick Manning's infield single with two out in the 10th in- ning gave the Cleveland Indians an 8-7 victory over the New York Yankees last night. Despite the lose, the Yankees remained two games ahead of the Boston Red Sox in the American League East as Boston lost to Toronto 5- 4. With one out in the 10th, Duane Kuiper walked. He went to second on a passed ball by Thurman Munson and, after a fly out, moved to third on a wild pitch by reliever Rich Gossage. After pinch-hitter Bernie Carbo was intentionally walked, Manning followed with a hard shot up the middle that shortstop Fred Stanley barely managed to stop.:Stanley could not make a play, however, as Kuiper scored the winning run. Sid Monge, 4-3, picked up the victory while Gossage, 10-11, took the loss. The Yankees scored three runs in their half of the ninth to erase a 7-4 Cleveland lead. The only hit of the in- ning, a two-run single by Lou Piniella off reliever Sid Monge, knotted the score with two out.

Blue Jays 5, Red Sox 4 TORONTO-Rick Bosetti drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the ninth inning, giving the Toronto Blue Jays a 5-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox last night. Pinch-hitter Bob Bailor opened the ninth with a single off Andy Hassle, 3-5. After Alan Ashby popped out, Dave McKay singled and Doug Ault walked to load the bases. Campbell then relieved Hassler and Bosetti jumped on his first pitch, lining it to center field for the winning hit. Tom Murphy, 6-9, the third Toronto pitcher, took over in the ninth and picked up the win in relief. Boston's Bob Stanley, making only his second start of the season, left the game after Al Woods led off the eighth with a double. Hassle then retired Roy Howell on a grounder, struck out John Mayberry and got Otto Velez on a fly lto center to end the threat. Boston took a 4-3 lead in the eighth in- ning. Carlton Fisk singled off Toronto starter Jim Clancy, raced to third on Fred Lynn's single to right and scored on a sacrifice fly by Butch Hobson. Royals 4, Twins 2 BLOOMINGTON-Frank White hit his seventh home run of the season in the seventh inning to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins in the first game of a doubleheader last night. White's blast off Darrell Jackson, 4-5, snapped a 2-2 tie and helped Larry Gura raise his record to 15-4. Gura checked the Twins on six hits as Kansas City posted its 10th victory in its last 12 games and lowered its magic number for clinching a third straight West Division title to four. Minnesota took a 2-0 lead in the second inning on a sacrifice fly by Glenn Borgmann and an RBI single by Bob Randall. But John Wathan scored Amos Otis with a single in the fourth and Kansas City tied the game in the sixth when Hal McRae and Amos Otis walked, moved up on a double steal and McRae scored on an error by Twins third baseman Larry Wolfe. NEW YORK (AP) - Coach John Robinson of Southern Cal is looking for top-ranked Alabama to pull some sur- prises in their nationally televised foot- ball game today, while Bear Bryant is hoping his team won't be embarrassed. Alabama, Robinson said, "attempts to surprise you a lot-particularly in big games. In fact, I really admire their ability to surprise people in big games. Coach Bryant uses all the weapons that are availble." The game can be seen on Channel 7 following the Michigan-Notre Dame telecast beginning at 12:30 p.m. DESPITE VICTORIES over two other ranked teams, Nebraska and Missouri, Bryant said No. 7 Southern Cal 'will embarrass us if we haven't improved. They are a lot stronger than anybody we've played so far." He said he is especially fearful of Charles White, the latest in a long tradition of flashy Trojan tailbacks. Alabama managed to hold White to 63 yards in upsetting then No. 1 ranked Southern Cal 21-20 a year ago. White has averaged 140 yards a game in the Trojans' victories over Texas Tech and Oregon this season. Meanwhile, runner-up Arkansas visits Oklahoma State while Oklahoma and Penn State, which are tied for third in the ratings, are home against Rice and Southern Methodist, respectively. SIXTH-RANKED Texas entertains Wyoming in a night contest while No. 8 UCLA visits Kansas, No. 9 Texas A&M is at Boston College for a night game and 10thranked Louisiana State hosts Wake Forest under the lights. Twelfth-ranked Nebraska is the only Top Twenty team with the week off. Elsewhere, No. 11 Pitt entertains Temple, No. 13 Florida State is at Miami, Fla., No. 15 Washington at In- diana, No. 16 Ohio State at Minnesota, Mississippi at No. 17 Missouri, No. 18 Maryland at North Carolina in a key Atlantic Coast Conference showdown, San Jose State at No. 19 Colorado and No. 20 Iowa State at Iowa. Bryant said the Crimson Tide "didn't make as much progress as I hoped" between an opening-game 20-3 triumph over Nebraska and last week's 38-20 victory over Missouri. "We played pretty sorry for about five minutes in the second quarter, and if we do that against USC it will be a long afternoon for us.

No. Number_ .1 - - - "We have to continue to improve, and that means not fumbling the football and getting silly penalties like we've done in the first two games. Those things will get us beat if we don't straighten them out." THE SHOE IS on the other foot for Penn State, which had something to prove in whipping Ohio State 19-0 last week., Southern Methodist also has something to prove-namely, that it can play with the big boys. can play with the big boys. The improving Mustangs are 2-0, having beaten Texas Christian and Florida, and for the second week in a row Penn State is faced with the task of stopping a hotshot passer. This time, it's SMU's Mike Ford, who has completed 29 of 48 for 490 yards and four touchdowns but who also is well aware that the Nittany Lions intercep- ted Ohio State's Art Schlichter five times a week ago.
