This is for me one of the moat enjo7&ble occasions you can imagine. BenD1' Oosterbaan is a close and long-standing friend and to see hila right- fully acclaimed on this occasion give .s me a real thrill. BenD1' Oosterbaan comes from our part of Kichigan. He was a great all-around highschool athlete in Kuskegon, llichigan. At the University of Kichigan he won nine varsity letters, three in football, three in basket­ ball and three in baseball. His feats on the gridiron, the basketball court, and on the diamond are unsurpassed at the University or Michigan. As a highschool student in Grand Rapids at the time BenDT was making Ann Arbor hiato17, I admired.him as the ultimate in athletes, which he was. I can truthfull.y state that he wa.s the idol or all of us who were emb170Dic or would-be college athletes. lfy next contact with BenDT occurred when I matriculated at the Univer­ sity. He at that time was end coach under Har17 Kepke. In abort order I learned that his knowledge of the science o! football was unlimited. He developed some great ends, such as the late legendary Bill Hewitt of pro­ football fame, All-American Ted Petoskey, now a coach at South Carolina, Ivan \\'ll.llamson, Lafqette• s present head coach, and more recent llichigan greats such as Len Ford and Bob lLann. From a plqer• s point of view his scouting technique was something to behold. The success Michigan has had ' over the years against Minnesota was due in a large measure to Benny's ability to anal,ze the Gopher powerhouse teams and build an attack and defense against them. While I was coaching at Yale University Benny and I conferred period!- call7 on scouting methods. It was interesting to note that he was Digitized from Box D13 of The Ford Congressional Papers: Press Secretary and Speech File at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library - 2 - seeking new and possibl.y' better methods of doing his job; and I might add that this is wh7 he is receiving this. wonderful honor tonight. As a spectator at Ann Arbor the past three seasons, I have seen Belley' Oosterbaan in two of those ,-ears as backfield coach develop one of the smoothest and most deceptive backfield combinations in football hiatoey. Cbappius, Ierges, Elliott and Weisenberger were aagiciana with the ball. Just ask Southern calltornia-they never saw the ball during the entire game a year ago at the Rose Bowl. When Fritz Crisler retired to become athletic director after the undefeated and untied 1947 season and Be~ was elevated to the position of head coach, many' llichigan alumni were somewhat dubious. Hardl.y' an enviable apot with so many Michigan stars graduating. He fielded practically a new team in 1948 and welded them into as fine a team as llichigan ever produced. He took sophomores and left-overs and made them into the number one team for 1948. For this superb and brilliant effort the T.D. Club is honoring my fellow Michigander. I only wish Beney Oosterbaan were here tonight so I could be in the audience paying tribute Allwd•••aoMwwwn«JDa Howeyer, on behalf of a swell guy, an outstanding coach and a real American, I take great pleasure in accepting this tropb1'.
