THE FOOTBALL Saturdays roll by and at this stage the grid warriors are becoming accustomed to the bumps and bruises as midseason approaches. . .. Next Saturday, in the Hoosier State, the top billing will be Iowa at Indiana, a Western Conference battle that shapes up as a

thriller from this distance.

By JERRY BRONDFIELD

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 12 (NEA).—Fielding H. Yost has | seen football grow almost from | its infancy and there are few men | in better position to rate the stars of the game than the Grand | Old Man of Michigan athletics. “Tom Harmon,” says Hurry-Up Yost, “is the closest thing" to Willie Heston that I have ever seen.” It should be pointed out that Willie Heston, the pacemaker of Yost’'s famed point-a ~ minute clubs, will always be tops in his estimation. Everything else begins

there and works down. Thus when Yost makes the above statement he reaches what he believes to be the height of praise. « Fielding - Yost isn’t the "only critic who deals in superlatives in describing Michigan’s current allAmerica, playing with the Wolverines today at Harvard. Off to a tremendous start in his first two games against California and Michigan State, Harmon unquestionably is the marked man of the 1940 season.

State coach, calls him the greatest running back he has seen i his two decades of football experience. : :

Charley Bachman, ne great. /

“If you wanted a back who could give you five yards when-

ever you need ‘em, I'd say Jim

THorpe would be your man,” says Bachman. “But if you want an all-duty running back—one who can break away and win a game for you on a single run—then it’s got to be Harmon.” Fritz Crisler, Michigan mentor,

claims the Gary, Ind., lad is the

greatest back he has coached in a career which found him turning

fout some pretty fair.boys at Min-

nesota and Princeton before coming to Ann Arbor. All-America backs who attain the honor as juniors usually fall

off just a trifle as seniors, either

- because they reached their peak

in their second year of varsity play or because the opposition points for them, More often it's the latter case.

Harmon is reversing the procedure. On the ‘strength of early games he is even better this season than a year ago when he was virtually a unanimous all-America choice. His three touchdown gallops of 94, 86 and 75 yards against Cali- - fornia was the best day's work the West Coast has ever seen, in the estimation of many critics. A big boy, standing 6 feet and weighing 195 pounds, Harmon

generates terrific speed for his size. That speed and a natural instinet at picking his route, are his chief assets.’ : Ho : He moves so quickly that the secondary defense appears stunned to suddenly find him in

* their midst. He bursts on them so

fast they never have a chance to get set for a tackle, and once he's away in the open field you can't bring him down from behind. - Even when hit, his momentum is so great he invariably carries the tackler with him for g couple extris yards. He has a subtle trick of cutting back and running straight at a tackier which takes the defender

by surprise. Speaking of cutbacks, he has the knack of breaking his directicn without losing an ounce of speed. Harmon: has always been 3g great passer and this year he adds punting to his duties, including an aptitude for quick-kicking. “It’s true, of course, that Harmon gets exceptional blocking from Forest Evashevski, and the guards, Ralph Fritz and Milo Sukup,”’ says Crisler, “but he’s still pretty much on his own a great deal of the time. Just as often as not he can out-run or merely over-power the dafense with very little help.”

Gain 1 Tie, 1 Loss, 3 Wins

Park and Attucks Teams Play Today.

One tie, one loss, three victories and two games to go--that’s tne week-end record of gridiron gladiators in Indianapolis high schools today as the season shifts into high gear. Shortridge went to Jeff of Latayette yesterday, and got back on the-winning side of the line, 12 to 0, and Tech and Anderson battled here to a 6-6 tie. Broad. Ripple's Rockets, who had been sailing high, were deflated by a host West Lafavette eleven, 19 to 0, as Manuel bowed to Southport, 0 to 6, and Cathedral beat Elwood, 27 to 12, in two - engagements played under lights. In games today Park School played host to Howe Military Academy and Crispus Attucks .went to Gary Roosevelt. ’

Benjamin Scores First

A 66-yard drive in the first quarter, led by Chuck Benjamin, Bob Paddock and Capt. Bill Allerdice, gave the Blue Devils their first score, with Benjamin carrying the ball on the last two plays. The alertness of Bob Cooley was responsible for the Shortridge score in the second period. He recovered Bob Agnew’s fumble on the Jeff 19 and on the next play Al Traugott raced to a six-pointer off the laft tackle. Jeff’s biggest threat came in the first quarter when he led an advance to the 20 but the Shortridge

lin held for downs.

Oct. 12—A program of fast action is in store for racing fans here tomorrow when Midwestern stock car pilots bring their mounts to the Fair Grounds for a 100-lap race. Scheduled te run are Kenny Eaton and Tom Cherry, both of Muncie, Swede Carpenter, Indianapolis, £d Schilling of New Castle, and Eddie Ropon, Muncie, in addition others. ‘ : Time trials will ‘start at noon with the 100-lap event getting under way at 3 p. m,

A short pass, Meyer to Hanna, netted a first down and then came the game-tying heave. Anderson counted in the final minute of the first half after Snow had recovered a Big Green bobble. On the next play, Bud Tunget, flashy Indian fullback, passed to left half Bell for a 55-yard gain to the Tech 2-yard line. Then Tunget drove through for the score. His place-kick attempt for the extra point was wide.

. Green March Halted

Tech missed a chance to score in the final period when a sustained drive. producing five straight first downs put the ball nine yards from the goal. But four stabs at the Indian line failed, and Anderson took possession. Tech held a distinct advantage over its opponents in first downs, making 11 to the Indians’ six. It was an ill-timed fumble that. cost Manual a touchdown and the ball game at Southport’s Roosevelt Stadium last night. Lester Taber of the Cards booted one out on the Redskin six, and on the next play a Redskin bobble gave Southport the ball. It was Taber again who fought his way across the goal in two attempts, but he wasn’t as successful in his aerial attempt at conversion. Previous . Taber and Wilbert Allanson of Manual had fought it out evenly in a punting duel. Twice Manual threatened in the second half, only to lose the ball on downs both times within the Southport 10yard stripe. : Irish Dominate

Cathedral's battle with Elwood under the Butler Bowl lights was an Irish affair all the way. Jack Devine went over on an end reverse in the first quarter; Elwood then scored on a 25-yard Paul Bur-ton-to-Gerald Burton pass, but with one minute remaining in the first Tom Fox heaved an aerial to Tom Broden from the 20 for the second Irish score of the game. Fox scored twice in the last half and Ken Geiman place-kicked three points after touchdowns for the Irish 27-total. Elwood’s second score came in the fourth frame with Gerald Burton sweeping, end for four yards after a 60-yard Elwood march, Thwarted in three drives at the goal line, Broad Ripple took a sound thumping at West Lafayette. The Rockets were twice on the West Lafayette 7 and once on the 3, two of these being halted by the gun.

Layden Must Weigh Over 150,

So Surely He Isn’t Worried

By HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent SOUTH BEND, Ind., Oct. 12.— One look at the football squad

Notre Dame fields against Georgia Tech here today and no Southerner you can name, no matter how fiery or sentimental, would bet against the Irish. : Stonewall Jackson, fighter that he was, would have demanded 14 points before taking Tech. Nathan Bedford Forrest wouldn't have risked a dime on Tech unless he got odds of 4-to 1, and even Jeb Stuart would have wanted a point or two. The Irish are loaded this year. I knew that the moment I walked into Elmer Layden’s office and found the “thin man” positively fat. Elmer must scale at least 150 pounds today, which means he isn’t worrying or fretting a great deal. I knew the Irish had plenty, all down the line, just as soon as I read the

column in the South Bend Tribune. Bearskin, you know, is the anonymous critic who tells the Irish, in blunt language, what ails them. He is being hard put this year to find any fault. But even if I hadn't seen Fat Layden, or read a satisfied Bearskin, I would have known what Notre Dame had by watching the team in its final practice. In the

first place, there are so many Notre

Dame players. I counted up to 60 and quit. And they're big. Not big like Kate Smith is big, but tall and lean and hard and entirely surrounded by muscles. In the second place, they're fast. Even the biggest ones start like

sprinters, linemen and backs alike.

The Redskin-Cardinal combat is the most important battle of the day because “it imperils Washington's unbeaten record. The Redskins appear to have the best offen-

sive and defensive balance in the

loop and figure to win. However, the Cardinals are a force which must be. reckoned with, despite their defeats by Green Bay and Detroit. The Bear-Lion game and the Packer-Ram combat also figure to

'be terrific struggles.

The Bears, rebounding from their disastrous -defeat by the Cardinals, staved off Cleveland's last half rally to win, 21 to 14, last week. The Lions beat the Rams by one touchdown, too, 6 to 0, and trounced the Cardinals, 43 to 14, in their last two engagements. : Bears Hold Upper Hand It will be the twenty-first meeting between the teams. The Beats have won 11, Detroit seven and tha other three were ties.
