abstract	Fonde was a native of Knoxville, Tennessee. He enrolled at the University of Michigan in 1944 as part of the V-12 Navy College Training Program. He played for Fritz Crisler's Michigan Wolverines football teams from 1945 to 1947. In his first year playing for the Wolverines, Fonde scored Michigan's only touchdown in a 7–3 victory over Ohio State in 1945. The Associated Press described Fonde's role in the game-winning drive as follows: "Less than seven minutes of play remained when Michigan sent Halfback Henry Fonde diving through Ohio State's right tackle from the one-yard line for the winning touchdown. The 18-year-old navy trainee had made the opportunity himself by going 25 yards with a pass from Pete Elliott. Fonde sidestepped Buckeye Halfback Dick Fisher as he caught the pass on the Ohio State 35-yard line and pedalled 16 yards farther before being hauled down by Ollie Cline on the Ohio 19." In 1947, Fonde played for Crisler's undefeated 1947 team, considered by some the greatest Michigan football team of all time. After an undefeated, untied regular season, the 1947 Wolverines defeated the University of Southern California 49 to 0 in the 1948 Rose Bowl. The 1948 Rose Bowl was Fonde's final game as a player for the Wolverines, and he capped his collegiate career by throwing the only forward pass he ever threw in a game—resulting in a 45-yard touchdown completions to Gene Derricotte.
