Lan trj
By MARC FELDMAN1
When Michigan placekicker Mike j
Lantry is old and grey, few but the
most devoted Wolverine fans will re-
member the end zone kickoffs, the re-
cord-setting field goals, or the career
kick-scoring records.l
The far larger number will recall
that Lantry could have sent Michigan
to the Rose Bowl two straight years,
with last second field goals against Ohio+
State.
LAST SATURDAY, the 26-year old
senior and Vietnam veteran flubbed a l
33-yard attempt with 18 seconds left that
would have wiped out a 12-10 Buckeye
victory. A year earlier, Lantry missed 1
58 and 44-yard boots in the closing sec-
onds of a 10-10 tie with the Woody
Hayes crew.
"I couldn't think of anything at allI
after the kick, I was so upset," Lantry
said yesterday. There was specula-
tion that Lantry was ostracized from +
the team when television cameras
showed him standing alone on the
sideline, but Mike didn't see any ex-
clusion.l
"There was no ostracism," he claim-l
ed. "My teammates wanted to leave
me alone for a minute. After the game,
the team was a lot closer than at any

looks

time I've ever seen. When you're win-
ning it's real nice, of course. We lose
so very seldom that the togetherness
Saturday was something special.
"This time it was a lot worse for
me because it was my senior year.
Last year we had a tie and the kicks
were a lot longer, but there was really
no excuse for this one," Lantry said.
"THE SNAP WAS fine, Tommy
(holder Drake) put it down well, and I
thought I hit it right. If I could do it
over I wouldn't do anything different-
ly."
"I thought is was good and some Ohio
State fans in the stands sent me tele-
grams that they thought it was good.
But I accept the referees' decision as
final."
Ohio State kicker Tom Klaban had a
great day, kicking four field goals for
all 12 Buckeye points. Klaban was quot-
ed as saying afterward, "Their kicker
choked. I could have choked but I
didn't."
Lantry read Klaban's words and re-
acted. "I've lost all my respect for
him (Klaban) as a person. If I had
kicked it, that would have wiped his
day out," Lantry said.
"EVERYTIME I'VE gone onto the
field, I've done my best. Placekicking

back o
is unique, since you are either a hero
or a goat. It's like golf: when you miss
a short putt, you're a bum. But it's a
real important part of the game. I
was put into the situation and I didn't
come through."
Lantry had many scholarship offers
after he graduated from Oxford (Mich-
igan) High School in 1966, but most of
those were for track, not football.
Lantry was Michigan State Champion
in the shot put, and 'all the Michigan
schools and a lot of West Coast schools
made offers but Mike declined them.
"I didn't take high school seriously,"
said Lantry. "I loved sports and it
showed in my grades. That happens to
a lot of kids. I just didn't feel I was
academically ready to go to college.
"For a year and a half I did odd
jobs and some construction work before
I joined the army in 1968 when I was
about to get drafted."
LANTRY SPENT ABOUT three years
in the army, including all of 1969 in an
artillery unit four miles north of Sai-
gon. He enrolled at Michigan in 1971
under the GI Bill and walked onto both
the football and track teams.
Lantry is generally acknowledged as
Michigan's greatest kicker, as he holds
all-time records for points (186) and

qi

n1 oss
field goals (21).
"The things that stick out for me are
both the good and the bad," Lantry
said. "I'll remember the Purdue game
in '72 (his field goal gave Michigan a
9-6 televised victory) the school record
kicks (50 and 51 yards) against Stan-
ford last year, and the three field goals
against Purdue two weeks ago. Of
course, the Ohio State games."
Lantrv was a Football News All-
American in 1973 and has been ap-
proached by the pro leagues. "I've had
a good share of correspondence with
the pros," he remarked. "I think I'm
a capable kicker and I hope I can have
the chance, but it's not a do or die
attraction."
AS FAR AS THE Michigan Wolver-
ines were concerned, Lantry's kicks
were the death knell for a 10-1 team
with no bowl bid. There are many
people who will mutter obscenities at
Mike Lantry's name for years for his
Ohio State miscues. But not every-
body.
As Michigan Coach Bo Schembechler
said -fter the game, "This kid is a hel-
lmq kid. He's kicked more field goals
and more extra points than any guy in
Mi"higan history. I don't blame him,
and none of my players do either."

MIKE LANTRY KICKED more field goals for Michigan than anyone else in history, includ-
ing this 37-yarder last week in Columbus, and also set the school record for extra points. Un-
fortunately, the kicks that Lantry missed lived afterward: the good one lay interred in the score.
