I _ t standing Bo sleeps pat -Pat Atkins The premiere showing of Preston Henry HE "PRESTON HENRY Story" does not read like -the story of an obscure, determined back who gets the big break and comes off the bench to lead his team to glory, honor, and victory. Henry did come off the bench to make his first appearance of the season in the second half of the Washington game and he did bull his way to Michigan's winning touchdowns. He did it all with a flair,. too, grabbing pitch-outs and running around end, or tucking the ball under and barrelling through the center of the line. Nor does Henry lack on determination. "There were times when two or three guys were hanging on," Henry remembers, "but I was determined. It's a mental thing, determination to be a champion in any sport." He's had perhaps a few more breaks than a lazy office worker takes in an hour. Henry, who played last spring as a wingback, was moved to tailback pt the beginning of the season because starting tailback Glenn Doughty's injured knee made is status uncertain and Cowboy Walker was lost to the team. "I would never have moved Henry if we hadn't lost Cowboy Walker," Coach Bo Schembechler says. Walker was the top runner on last year's freshman squad, and was slated for tail- back duties this year. But illness forced Walker onto the sidelines. Exit Walker, enter Henry at tailback. Schembechler already had two experienced tailbacks at the position, Lance Scheffler and Doughty. That inexper- ience was one of the hurdles Henry had to tackle before the season opener. But Henry was and is a very determined person. "He's the one guy who's made every practice this fall - and it shows," *chembechler says. On the first play of the second half, Henry went off left end for three yards. Before he completed his spree, breaking over right tackle to score from the 30 near the game's end, Henry had amassed 113 yards on 13 carries. That was just about double Michigan's entire first half total yardage of 57 yards on 19 carries and more than triple the Wolverines' paltry 34 yards fushing in the first half. His, and Michigan's, other touchdown came during the closing minutes of the third quarter. On a pitch-out, Henry cut around right :end for the eight yards and the score. "I got up there," Henry says of his opening minutes, "and. the team needed something to spark them up. I wanted to be that spark. They were down and weren't blocking. After the first couple of runs, they could see that there's a reason fo' blocking." Strength butresses his detei'mination. "Henry is an ex- tremely strong kid, he's the strongest back we've got." Schem- bechler notes. In the "off season" Henry joins the wrestling team, and wrestling coach Rick Bay sails Henry "physically s strong as anyone I've ever coached." Henry is not, as a consequence, obscure. "Henry is not the number three back on the team and he never was - that's a great misconception," Schembechler says. "He just happened to be the third tailback to get into the game on Saturday." This is a misconception Preston Henry would very much t like to eliminate from the body of popular myth. His cause would be helped along by a starting assign- ment. "Henry has a chance to start next week," Schem- bechler states, "but I pick my backs on what they do dur- ing practice." Although improved over last year in both running and blocking ability, Henry says emphatically, "I'm not up to what if think I can do. As far as catching, blocking, running, I'm not up to par."~ The crowd of people waiting for the team plane to land at Detroit Metro airport Saturday night was already beginning the Preston Henry campaign. Friends from the floors where he lived at Bursley Hall last year came to greet him, toting a sign which read, "Hail to the Victors - the hard guys salute , reston Henry." If Henry's determination sets in for a prolonged at- tack, the hard guys may get many chances to salute another hard guy-Preston Henry. "Henry is not the number three back on the team and he never was--he just hap- pened to be the third back to get into the game on Saturday." -Bo Schembechler easier By ERIC SIEGEL Coach Bo Schembechler spent a sleepless night before Michi- gan's 17-3 victory over Wash- ington Saturday, but his insom- nia had nothing to do with the Wolverines' less-than-awesome offensive performance against Arizona the week before, or any particular concern about the ability of Husky quarterback Sonny Sixkiller. What kept Schembechler up was a report that Washington officials were planning to water down the Astro Turf the morn- ing of the game for the osten- sible purpose of cutting down on injuries. Schembechler, who first heard about the plan Friday night, spent the night trying to con- tact Washington's director of sports programs Joe Kearney. "I finally got a hold of him at 7:30 Saturday morning, and said under no circumstances to wet that field;" Schembechler told a press luncheon yesterday. "Knowing me, they knew I'd say something if they went ahead and did it," he added. Schembechler, who noticed from the game films that Mich- igan State had trouble with their footing on the' wet turf in the Spartans' 42-16 loss to Washington Sept. 20, ordered new shoes with better traction for his players in the event of rain. "I'm not saying that Michigan State lost because of the wet turf. When you lose by that big a score, you can't blame it on the field. And it might have been a legitimate wet against MSU." Incidentally, the Michigan medical staff did not agree that watering the turf would cut down on injuries, and the dry turf produced no knee or leg injuries for either team. With the wet-turf problem- out of the way before the start of the game, Schembechler was free to concentrate on the prob- lem of his offense, and he seem- ed to have gotten at least part of that problem straightened out by the end of the game, too. The Wolverines, who had only three first downs, 57 net yards, and no points after the first half, finished the game with 15 first downs, 282 yards and a pair of touchdowns and a field goal.. "I saw a lot of improvement{ ts in the second half," Schembech- rl ler said. "We came out with a - good attitude and we put them d- after dailly sports NIGHT EDITOR: MORT NOVECK where we wanted them. I hope that half turns out to be like the second half of the Minne- sta game last year." In last year's contest against Minnesota, the Wolverines went into the half trailing 9-7, and wound up winning 35-9 as they scored four touchdowns on drives of 75, 66, 41 and 21 yards. Before that game, the Wolver- ines sported a mediocre 3-2 rec- ord. They won their last five games, outscoring their oppo- nents, 202 - 34. Schembcehler later pointed to the win over the Gophers as the "turning point" of the season. Still, Schembechler doesn't Husky want to carry the comparison with last year's team too far. "This just isn't the same team as last year," he said. "And I don't think you want to rate a team until after the season is over. There are some teams that start fast and fade, and there are others that get strong- er as the season goes along.' One area Schembechler is willing to make comparisons in is the defense, "Our defense is better this year than last year, and it will improve even more. A statistic that particularly. impresses Bo is the defense's record on third down situations. In two games, the Wolverines have allowed their opponents only three first downs on third down plays. The Wolverines' ability to stop their opponents on t h i r d down situations was particular- ly evident in the second half of Saturday's game, The Huskies were stopped a total of seven times on third down plays - every time they had the ball in that situation. Twice they were stopped on third-and-one situa- tions; once on a third and two play; and another time on third and three yards to go. Even with a strong defense getting stronger, and an improv- ing offense, Schembechl-r still sees some problems, all of them on the offensive side of the line. "We have to get some help from the split ends. On passing situations, we haven't protect- ed well, we haven't thrown well and we haven't caught well. (Don) Moorhead was better in the second half, but I've seen him play better and I know he will play better." Schembechler also sees some problems with Texas A&M. "Don't underestimate them ... Any team that can beat LSU in Baton Rouge has got to be good." The Aggie's sports informa- tion director Spec Gammon also sees some problems from his point of view. "It's tough when you lost to one team (Ohio State) 56-13 and then you have to come up and play a team that beat them." win Phoenix Eye View Coof College ' : f .; .:: :: $ . . :: :..:: COLLEGE CURRICULUM AND STUDENT PROTEST Joseph J.

In handing the Colts a stun- ning loss in their home American Conference debut under the Na- tional Football League realign- ment, the Chiefs subjected old pro Johns Unitas to one of hisI most humiliating performances.I Dawson tossed a 48-yard touch- down pass to Gloster's Richardson on Kansas City's first series, and the defending world champions were off and running before a na- tional television audience. Two Robinson interceptions led to the next 10 Kansas City points. Then the swift veteran picked up a Norm Bulaich fumble and ram- bled 46 yards for a touchdown to make it 24-0 in the second quar- ter. Dawson, who gained 152 yards with nine completions in 12 at- tempts, hit on a 13-yard scoring! toss to Robert Holmes after the first Robinson interception, then heaved another for 54 yards to. Frank Pitts for a 31-7 halftime lead. Unitas, meantime, completed four passes on a drive after the first of Jan Stenerud's three field goals made it 10-0, only to be tossed for an eight-yai'd loss and then fumble the ball away. On his next nine pass attempt -before being replaced by Ea: Morrall-Unitas had an inter ception, six incompletions - an was dumped two more times fo 22 yards in losses. Stenerud, who scored 14 poini with his soccer-style kicking, an Baltimore's Jim O'Brien, ex changed field goals in a lack luster third quarter before a sec ond explosive punt return b Ed Podolak produced anothe Dawson-to-Pitts touchdown paw in the fourth quarter, this one fc four yards.
