Families, kids and dancers
gathered around the Cube for a
afternoon of pumpkin decorating,
dressing up and a child’s
rendition of Michael Jackson’s
“Beat It” Sunday, organized by
University of Michigan student
group Dance Marathon.
Dance Marathon, a student
organization on campus,
raises money for children with
disabilities in Beaumont Hospital
in Royal Oak and C.S. Mott,
including a thorough 24-hour
dance party toward the end of the
school year.
Dance Marathon member
Janie Brink, an LSA senior, said
Sunday’s pumpkin carving is
Dance Marathon’s kickoff event
and was the first time members
meet the families of the children
at Beaumont.
This year was the first time
Dance Marathon combined
pumpkin carving with their
therapy fair, which brings
the hospital’s employees in to
demonstrate physical therapies
to children, while also allowing
University students a personal
look into how this process works.
“Participating and seeing the
exact therapies they do kind of
gives you a hands-on experience
and shows you exactly how
you are helping them and what
they are doing to be helped,”
said Dance Marathon member
Chandler Rider, a Kinesiology
senior.
LSA senior and Dance
Marathon member Miranda
Zeneli said the fair allows a
more personal connection with
families.
“It’s really cool because we
get to see where all of the money
we have raised goes to,” Zeneli
said. “And it really gives us a
chance to bond with the families
for the first time.”
Brink said Dance Marathon
combined the two events to lead
to a bigger event so all donors
and students can see where
their money is going to, while
also allowing the children to
participate in more activities.
LSA senior Alayna Trilling
echoed Brink, saying combining
the events allows for more
dancers to come to the events
and learn more about the
volunteering events Dance
Marathon has to offer.
New dancers who came
to meet their families theyre
fundraising money for for the
first time, such as LSA freshman
Jane Wu, said they had a positive
experience with the organization
so far.
“I thought Dance Marathon
was really cool because you get
to stay up 24 hours with your
friends and you get to bond and
raise money for kids,” she said.
Beth Hoffi, whose daughter
Kaitlin Betti-Hoffi has been a
part of Dance Marathon since the
first grade, echoed the sentiments
of the dancers.
“It’s a great time for her to
be around other children who
are going through some of the
same things she’s going through,”
Hoffi said. “The students really
make her feel special. It’s a really
wonderful experience.”
Hoffi said Dance Marathon
made her family feel special,
citing a time where students took
her son to the Big House after
learning he was a big Michigan
fan. Another time, students came
to Kaitlin’s room after a surgery.
“They kind of go above and
beyond than what is expected of
them,” she said. “It’s a time for
her to feel special, a little bit more
independent, a little bit more
grown up. And they kind of do
what she wants to do.”

ON THE DAILY: KIDS AND PUMKINS MAKE FOR A FESTIVE CUBE
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh.
“It was pretty windy out
there — it was tough to throw
the ball. … He was throwing
the intermediate-deep stuff.
Thirty-yard throws, 35 yards,
40-yard throws. Just on the
money. It was impressive.”
Illinois
finally
got
on
the
board
in
the
fourth
quarter when Fighting Illini
quarterback
Jeff
George
Jr.
completed
a
43-yard
touchdown
pass
to
wide
receiver Malik Turner after
Michigan botched a fake punt
on the play before.
The Wolverines were already
ahead
comfortably,
though,
thanks to a high-scoring first
quarter.
The flashiest play of the first
half came on the first drive.
After lining up for his usual jet
sweep, freshman wide receiver
Eddie
McDoom
reversed
direction, caught a pass from
Speight and ran for 33 yards to
set up Michigan’s first score of
the game.
After redshirt sophomore
Jabrill Peppers carried the
ball twice to help move the
Wolverines to Illinois’ 3-yard
line, Michigan ran its “train”
formation to fluster Illinois’
defense.
Butt
managed
to
find open space, and Speight
connected with him for a
3-yard touchdown pass to put
the Wolverines up 7-0.
Michigan’s scariest moment
occurred
on
the
following
possession,
when
freshman
running back Chris Evans lay
motionless on the ground after
a hard hit from two Illinois
defenders. Evans was able to
get up with the help of trainers
but went to the locker room
immediately following the hit.
The
Wolverines
resumed
their
dominance
on
the
following play, though, when
redshirt freshman tight end
Tyrone Wheatley Jr. scored
his first career touchdown on a
21-yard catch.
“I
wanted
to
keep
the
football,” Wheatley said. “I
didn’t let it go of it for a while.
Everyone was jumping on me
and slapping me in the head
and stuff, and the ref was like,
‘I need the ball,’ and I was like,
‘Oh, here you go.’ I didn’t really
want to let it go.”
Redshirt
junior
fullback
Khalid Hill notched the final
touchdown of the first quarter
on his signature play — a 1-yard
run — for his ninth touchdown
of the season.
The second quarter started
just as strong as the first, when
just over a minute into the
second quarter, freshman safety
Khaleke Hudson deflected a
punt to give the Wolverines the
ball on Michigan’s 38-yard line.
That led to senior running
back De’Veon Smith’s four-
yard scoring run that put the
Wolverines up 28-0 with 11
minutes left in the second
quarter. Smith had 18 carries
for 76 yards.
“I thought De’Veon was in a
really good flow, good rhythm,”
Harbaugh said. “Running hard
(and) breaking tackles. We went
more than what was planned
with him, back to calling the
same play, calling his number
… based on how he was doing.”
While the offense impressed
with 561 total yards, the special
teams and defense made some
big plays, too. Senior safety
Dymonte
Thomas
picked
off Illinois quarterback Jeff
George Jr. to set up Michigan’s
final score of the first half.
“Dymonte was outstanding,”
Harbaugh said. “He read
the screen as good as you
can read it. He leapt up and
made a great interception.
I think Jourdan Lewis was
applying pressure on the
play. It was outstanding. We
needed that turnover.”
Though the Wolverines
weren’t challenged often,
they did give Illinois a few
chances. Fifth-year senior
wide receiver Jehu Chesson
fumbled
on
Michigan’s
37, but the defense then
stopped the Fighting Illini
on four straight plays to
regain
possession.
The
Wolverines’ biggest misstep
came in the fourth quarter,
when the botched fake punt
gave the Fighting Illini
great field position at the
Michigan 43-yard line.
But in a game when
Illinois’
first
completion
didn’t
come
until
four
minutes
into
the
third
quarter — a gain erased by
a fumble three plays later —
the Wolverines were never
threatened.
