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.
