INDIANA doesn’t have to be told of Pat Harder, Wisconsin’s battering-ram fullback, and Hoosier forwards vad line backers will keep a sharp eye on him at Wisconsin Saturday. . . . The Milwaukee p

‘Against Iowa. last . Saturday scored two touchdowns and kicked two extra points. . . . That's 17 points by the One Man Gang. ‘During Coach Harry Btuhldreher’s| six-year tenure até the Wisconsin grid helm, he has never suffered for the lack of an outstanding fullback. . . ; First it was Eddie Jankowski, then Howie Weiss, and recently Roaring George Paskvan. At the close of the 1940 season, considerable speculation was voiced over the prospect of finding anyone to plug the gap left by Paskvan’s graduation. . . + No such doubt is in evidence with the 1841 season but three games old, for Pat Harder more than fills the bill. . . . He is 195 pounds of rock-ribbed fullback. In turning his talents to his home-state university, Sophomore Harder brought one of the most impressive records any player ever “brought to Wisconsin. . . . He's continuing to build it up-to unprecedented heights. , . . Take a look at that prep record: Playing with Washington High School in Milwaukee, he was a unanimous choice for All-City fullback for two consecutive years. « +» « During that time he led all scoring, ultimately breaking all existing records, both for eight and six games per season. Jankowski’s long-standing total of 97 points for six games toppled before the Milwaukee Flier, who racked up 127. , . . The previous record of 128 points for eight games fell before Harder’s 143-point onslaught. ; Captain of the basketball team, Pat also excelled in footwork on the cinders, as a look at his track record discloses. . . . Harder was * both State and City low hurdle champion during the spring of 1939, and was second in line in the State high hurdle competition.

‘Michigan, Minnesota Met Twice in 1926

ALTHOUGH NOT SINCE early in the 1926 season has Michigan scored more than one touchdown in a game against Minnesota—and the two teams have met 14 times over this span—on four occasions

only one was needed for victory... . And now the Golden Gophers *

and Wolverines are prepping to clash in the Game of the Week Saturday at Ann Arbor. In 1926 the Gophers and Wolverines clashed twice. , . . Michigan won the first one, 20-0, and then eked out a 7-8 win late in the year when Bennie Oosterbaan picked up a Gopher fumble and scurried the length of the field to score. . .. In 1929 Michigan again won, this time 6-0. » # ” » » » HARRY NEWMAN provided the winning Michigan margin in 1932 with a field goal to give the Wolverines a 3-0 victory. , . . There was a scoreless tie in 1933 and every year since then Minnesota has won from Michigan, twice by a 7-8 score, with Michigan scoring one touchdown in each of the last four contests.

PVT. J. E. O'BRIEN, who graduated from The Times’ sport staff to the U. 8. Army, is getting ready to do some horsebacking at Ft. Riley, Kas. . . . He's a member of Troop C, Third Squadron, at the cavalry training post. Pyt. O'Brien, who was Hoosierland’s ace high school basketball picker last season (he picked Washington, you know), was scheduled to go for his first ride as a rookie trooper this week, after learning the fundamentals of “housekeeping in the corral.” The star of Ft. Riley’s football team is Bennie Sheridan, the former Notre Dame scatback, and the coach is Lieut. Brown, formerly of Georgia Tech.

Dismounted drill is similar to infantry training. . . , Weapons include the use of the old Springfield rifle, the new Garand, pistols and machine guns. . . . Horsemanship includes care of horses, riding, etc. . . '. After the trainees have mastered all these, they take up combat training.

The Ghost Is Galloping

Red Grange took over the chairmanship of our board of football strategists this week with 20 hits and only four misses. ~All of which gives him first place for the week with .833 and moves him from third to first in the season’s standings with .780. Our Eddie Ash was wrong on five while hitting 20 correctly for a .800 week and the retention of his second place season standings with .779. Saturday’s selecting was the downfall of Harry Ferguson. Fergie missed seven and hit for 17 for .708 and a season mark of «150. He dropped from first to third. Bob Godley came home with six misses and 19 hits for ¢third Snot Yue eek with .760 but stayed in the cellar for the four weeks a Only our Eddie and Grange knew about Indiana while the entire board was misled by Northwestern, Iowa, Yale and Rice. If Washington State had kicked that extra point Ash would be in the lead. Grange had Southern Cal.
