TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1949 THE MICHIGAN DAILY 'AGE TRU1EE Irish Lead Michigan by Narrow Margin in . P. Poll v __ __ LINEMAN OF THE WEEK: Smashing Line Play Gets HeeldAward By CY CARLTON Illinois' backfield had an unex- pected visitor in the person of one Lloyd "Dutch" Heneveld, The Daily's Lineman of the Week, Sat- urday afternoon. The most outstanding play came in the first period on a fake field goal attempt with the score dead- locked. Dutch broke through to smear Tom Gallagher as he was trying to pass for the Illini. LLOYD "DUTCH" Heneveld makes no bones of the fact-he plays football because he likes it. The tall blond guard was chris- tened with his now famous nick- name in 1946 by another famous Michigan Dutchman, Benny Oos- terbaan. Dutch has been playing foot- ball since childhood. He grew up and makes his home in Holland, Michigan where he starred for his high school in basketball as well as football. Heneveld spent two years in the Army Air Force, serving as a pilot officer. Discharged in 1945; he at- tended Hope College for one se- mester, transferring to Michigan in February of 1946. DUTCH PLAYED in two games for Michigan in 1946. Injured, he was forced to sit out the rest of the season, and it looked bad for Heneveld's football future. How- ever, a successful operation in the spring of 1947 removed the troub- lesome knee cartilage and Lloyd was able to continue. During last season he was So- boleski's replacement at defen- sive guard and moved to the first string slot this year after So- boleski's switch to tackle. He considers the Northwestern garme the greatest of his career and asked who he considered the greatest guard he has faced this season, Dutch unhesitatingly an- swered, "Nomellini of Minnesota, he knocked me for a loop several times and I really felt it." * * * HIS FAVORITE sports aside from football are tennis and bas- ketball, playing varsity basketball for Hope College during his brief stay there. A junior in Engineering School, Dutch has no interest in profes- sional football or coaching after graduation. He plans to enter Law School in the field of patent law.

S. BROWN The nation's sports writers have done it again. Whether it's the blarney of Frank Leahy or just plain conniving by the Notre Dame followers in the writing game is hard to say, but the Irish again top the heap in the Associated Press grid poll. Not that the Green has an overwhelming lead. The margin is infinitesimal. In the final point total, Michigan trails the squad from South Bend by three points. ' But there's a brighter side to the story. Of the 208 first place ballots cast, the Wolverines drew 68 to 56 for the Irish. But when the total points were assembled, the Ann Arbor team had dropped 3 Points! to the runner-up position for the first time in three weeks.

That probably would be Mich- igan versus California. But under the Big Nine-Coast Conference agreement, a Big Nine team may not appear in the Rose Bowl oftener than once in three years. Thus Michigan, which swamped USC 49-0 last New Year's Day, can not return to the Rose Bowl next Jan. 1 even though the Wolverines come through their Big Nine season undefeated. Lathrop K. Leishman, chair- man of the Association's footballI committee, said he understood but hadn't been officially informed SPORTS PRES HOLMES, Night Editor Outgunned l Wolverines- Irish Challenge! CHICAGO-('P)-Notre Dame still is ready to play Michigan any time, any place. This point was made yester- day at the Herald-American Quarterback Club meeting at which Notre Dame's Ed (Moose) Krause, assistant Irish athletic director, was asked "Why can't Notre Dame and Michigan play each other at Soldier Field?" Krause replied: "As Coach Frank Leahy said before this same meeting last year, Notre Dame is willing to meet Michigan any Saturday, Sunday or Monday afternoon." yet his own executive committee wants him to take up the matter with the Coast Conference. Harold C. Schaeffer, President of the Association and chairman of the executive committee, is out of town. "When Schaffer gets back I as- sume he will communicate with me," Leishman said. "If that's what the Association wants I will go to Dean Stanley Freeborn of the University of California (Pres- ident of the Coast Conference) and to Bill Hunter of USC (chair- man of the PCC's Rose Bowl Com- mittee) to see if we can get some rule changes made. "It isn't just Michigan, but per- sonally I feel, and I know others. do, that we must have the best in the Big Nine here each year for the Rose Bowl, not the No. 2 or Nol 3 team." It is debatable whether the rules could be changed in time for the forthcoming Rose Bowl classic, even if both conferences were agreeable. And several Chicago sportswriters attending today's meeting of the Southern California football writers unanimously quot- ed Big Nine commissioner Tug Wilson as saying "There isn't a chance."

Northwestern and Purdue are ser- iously considering fielding teams; Illinois will make a trip into the well organized ranks of eastern lightweight football to battle pow- erful Navy. Over 100 candidates turned out for this year's squad. Included in this turnout were only fifteen men from last year's squad, but enough of these men had sufficient talent to make the Wolverines pre-season favorites to retain their title. A vastly improved Illinois squad had different ideas though and they upset the Maize and Blue, 13- 6 in the season opener. Michigan must now win all of their remaining games to be cer- tain of at least a tie for Con- ference honors. The little guys are working hard to make this first anniversary party a smashing sue- ces at Ohio State's expense. SEVEN OUT OF NINE: Phi Delts Hom Livened by Wi By BILL CONNOLLY Traffic was held up on Washte- naw during the Homecoming rush Saturday morning while the Phi Delts had their own homecoming. The boys from 1434 Washtenaw sprinted home with the Little Brown Jug after scoring a 25-12 victory over SAE in the tradi- tional Mud Bowl Classic. It wasj the seventh, win against only two losses for the Phi Dolts. Tom Clark was the work Horse for the SAE's and John Madden was the stick of dynjt- mite who blew up the SAE hopes of victory. Madden threw all four of the Phi DelL TJ passes, and completed one for an extra point. SAE drew., blood on the first play from scrimmage when Bill Ray- mond tossed one to Clark to make the score 6-0. Phil Delt came back a la Rifenburg when Doug Wicks scored on a double dribble pass play, the pass coming from Mad- den. Phi Delt scored again with Madden tossing a short one to Bob Johns. In the only tally of t l l from the time Michigan took over, and the fourth marker came on1 four plays. On this last drive, after Kemp- thorn plunged for ten yards only to have a 15-yard personal foul penalty nullify the gain and a sortie into the line netted no gain, Chuck Ortmann's pass into the end one was dropped by Leo Koceski, the flashy wing- back from Canonsburg, Pa. Then "Chuckin' Chuck" flipped unerringly to end Harry Allis in pay dirt fbr the touchdown and Michigan's 27th point. And Allis must have put a twinkle in Oosterbaan's eye. The sophomore successor to the amaz- ing Jim Brieske converted for the four important points after touch- down besides snaring the final TD pass in the last quaiter.

This touchdown was set up on a pass play from Clark to Dick Thomas. The crowd-pleaser of the game came in the waning minutes of the first half when Phi Delt took the lead again with a thrilling pass completion. As Jim Glerum sprinted past the SAE secondary, John Madden faded back, wound up and threw the ball the length of the field into Gluerman's arms. The score at the end of the half: Phi Delt 18, SAE 12. The Madden to Glerum com- bination put the game on ice in the second half by scoring on another pass play, making it 24- 12. In the absence of a goal post or suitable low hanging trees,, all extra point attempts were limited to running and passing plays. The only extra point of the day was registered by a pass from Madden to Doug Wicks and the final score read 25-12. gon. Certainly Michigan's pass de- fense in the second half Saturday saddened the heart of Bennie Oos- terbaan. The Illini netted 256 yards in the air, and 206 of them were in the third and fourth stanzas. That, alone, came close to interrupting the Wolverine winning streak. * * * AND IT'S A SURE thing that Coach Bennie wasn't screaming for joy over the six Michigan fumbles. There's a medium that has sent even the greatest teams down to bitter defeat. But Oosterbaan did have a few reasons for bestowing a fa- therly smile upon his undefeated charges. Wally Teninga, with a 41.1 punting average, continues to hold one of the keys to Mich- igan's defensive prowess. Keep the opposition deep in their own territory with long punts and they can't open up on offense, is the secret. The yearling varsity pilot must have applauded his squad's light- ning attack when it wasn't bogged down by poor blocking (and there was plenty of it) or incompleted passes (and there were 14 of them). It took Michigan just ten plays to rack up the first score. * * * AFTER THAT the Wolverines progressed admirably.
