The way It should read I* Tommy Harmon 14. Pennsylvania 9. because It was the Gary Galloper who played poison to the Quaker’s Ivy and eracked them open like the Liberty Hell Without Tommy and hl* 195 pounds (every ounce of which la Al’-Aaserlca) Michigan would have been fortunate to get off with a scoreless tie. By this I mean that Michigan, without Harmon, isn't a* good a team a* Penn Rut with him the Wolverine* are as goo4h< anybody, because Tommy I* a oneman squad When he Isn't running he la tackling and when he Isn't doing either of these he is passing, kicking, or blocking He actually constitute* a threat when be I* standing still doing nothing at all. He proved this by the way hi« presence as safety man ruined Pennsylvania's kicking game on Saturday Frank Reagan., a really great punter, was so afraid that one of hl* punt* would fall into 'the hand* of Harmon that he went In for super-spot kicking A* a result his timing and confidence went blooey and he wound up with a kicklag average that wouldn't do credit to a high school back. The dread of a Harmon loose after a head start so shook Regan that pupts skidded off hl* fool to travel soeh puny distance* a* 20 and 25 yard* After Harmon's performance on Saturday 1 trust no pigskin penant will ever again argue that a back ila no greater than bla bloeker. Ever since Harmon started running wild there have been critics who maintained that hl* effectiveness was largely du* to the tremsadom blocking of bis friend and captain.
