The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 4, 1985-- Page 7 A ONCE AND FUTURE HERO? Heren By BRAD MORGAN For Dieter Heren, special teams isn't just a job, it's an adventure. Heren made a name for himself earlier in the season when he blocked a punt against Michigan State that Ed Hood recovered for a touchdown. Against Illinois on Saturday, Heren became an even bigger hero. WITH THE Fighting Illini's Chris White lined up to attempt a game- winning field goal that would put an end to Michigan's Rose Bowl hopes, Heren pulled off what could be called the Miracle at Memorial (Stadium). The ball was snapped, White's kick was a little low, and the 6-3 Heren leaped high enough to get the smallest piece of his left ring finger on the ball. Instead of going low and accurate, the ball shot into the air, got caught by the strong breeze that blew throughout the game and wobbled towards the uprights. Seeming to hover forever, the ball finally came down squarely on the crossbar and dropped in the endzone. For Illinois, the Rose Bowl was fading; for Michigan, it was still a dream. "I WASN'T sure if it was going to go over or under, and then it hits," said an excited Heren after the game. "I said a little prayer just asking for a chance to get a piece of the ball, and tI got just enough of it." Heren almost proved to be an even bigger hero when it was revealed af- ter the game that he had also tipped e flects, refl ects I said a little prayer just asking for a chance to get a piece of the ball, and I just got enough of it.' -Dieter Heren . the ball when White barely made a 36-. yarder in the third quarter, that provided Illinois with its only points. THE SENIOR out of Fort Wayne, Indiana was quick to credit the coaching staff for his success. "The coaches have put me in the right position," he said. "Sometimes my job is to create a scene, but this time it was to be the scene." Heren has seen playing time at linebacker after starting the season as a defensive back, but his main role is still on special teams. "WE TAKE pride in our special teams. Usually people look at a team as offense and defense, but we see it as offense, defense and special teams," explained Heren. Linebacker Andy Moeller, Heren's teammate on special teams, agreed with that assessment. "We were just trying to get up and get it blocked," Moeller said. "We always-tell each other that we've just got tokeep believing becausewwe've been there so many times with the other team driving against us at the end of the game." "I just flashed back to the Iowa game, and that was scary, losing in the final two seconds," Heren added. "We just didn't want that to happen again."

I A What's Happening WOMEN FINISH THIRD; MEN, FIFTH: Blue hi By RACHEL GOLDMAN This Saturday morning as the rain covered the University golf course, runners from throughout the midwest prepared for the Big Ten Cross- .0country championships. In the women's race, first place was expected to be a battle between Michigan's Sue Schroeder and Wisconsin's Katie Ismael. At the one- mile mark, Schroeder made her break and pulled into the fourth position. As the race continued, Schroeder grabbed third, which she later lost, at about the 3.1 mile mark. But by the end of the race, Schroeder had yielded a couple more spots. Her sixth-place finish was a disap- GRIDDE PICKS Ask Tim Berry. He'll tell you.
