' Harmon Scores All Wolverine Points In 21 -14 Victory 1~ Varsity Attack Too Powerful For Spartans Michigan's Aerial Defense Proves Vulnerable; Over 65,000 Witness Battle (Continued from Page 1) was highly improved over the brand he exhibited in California last week- end. From the line of scrimmage, Harmon average 37 yards per kick, whilea bandage-laden but hard- fighting Paul Kromer, injected into the Michigan lineup for the first time since his comeback attempt, laced the ball over 48 yards of terri- tory the one time he was sent back to punt the Wolverines out of dan- ger. There was more to the Michigan attack than Harmon, however. Bul- let Bob Westfall crashed and side- stepped through the Spartans until they yelped for help. Capt. Forest Evashevski viciously plowed open the way for his running teammates. Nelson Does Well Wee Davie Nelson, the blond jun- ior halfback from Detroit, proved a highly capable replacement for ail- ing Norm Call. And in the line, the Spartans found that they might just as well try to push the stands away from the field as drive bull-chested Al Wistert out of a play., In short, the entire Wolverine first team played a championship brand of ball until the wealth of State re- serve material combined with the in- tense October heat dampened their spirits. Yes, the seldom-spelled Wol- verines were a weary crew when the gun barked forth a truce until next year. During the early moments of the game, the two teams engaged in a punting duel with Harmon getting slightly the better of Spartan quar- terback Bob Sherman. Then with ten minutes gone, the Hoosier Ham- mer grabbed one of Sherman's kicks on his own 45, picked up speed as he moved to his right and tore down the sideline till he was hurled out of bounds on the State 25-yard line. That's the way it was all day with Harmon. He had to be shoved out of the playing field before they could stop him from moving the ball for- ward. Westfall Starts March With the ball on the 25, Michigan started into action. Westfall on a spinner charged through center for nine yards. Harmon carried the ball once, lost four, but took it again and Michigan had a first down on the 13. Three plays failed to gain, and then Harmon in the tailback spot took the ball from center, faded to his left as though attempting to pass and then streaked down the left sidelines as the out-maneuvered State defense stood by in amaze- ment. It was a 13-yard gallop, and after Terrible Tom converted, Mich- igan was out in front, 7-0.

Sherman's bad punt which sailed sideways out of bounds on the State 22-yard line set up Michigan's sec- ond scoring play. Westfall followed it with a 13-yard crash over the numbeid State line. Harmon got nine more off right tackle, and then passed to halfback Bob Kresja who moved the ball down to the four. Westfall gained two, and then Har- mon moved into pay dirt after a delayed line slash. His conversion was again successful. State Srtikes Back But Michigan State was not long in striking back. In just 40 seconds it had a touchdown. Spartan end Lew Smiley streaked to the left of Kresja to pull in Wy Davis' brilliant pas son Michigan's 37, and on the next play halfback Walt Pawlowski scampered past I'Tesja again to grab Davis' heave on the two and fall over. Substitute quarterback Maro Miller made the kick good and the score at halftime was 14-7. As the second half got under way, Michigan came out fighting, piled up three first downs and fumbled to end the threat. But after an ex- change of punts, Harmon, Westfall and Nelson alternated in carrying the ball to the State nine from where Harmon carried three would-be Spartan tacklers around left end for the final Wolverine tally. Blame it on the heat or blame it on the lead, but Michigan turned sloppy at this point and were set back for every penalty in the books. Finally with but three minutes left, Dick Kieppe, a Spartan backfield sub. went to work on the passing. He shot one to Smiley that missed connec- tions, but when Kromer ran hip first into the Spartan end, inter- ference was called at midfield. Ki- eppe then faded back and shot a low toss, apparently hitting the ground, that Pawlowski scooped up on the 25 anA sprinted ahead of Kro- mer to the goal. Pawlowski con- verted and the scoring was over. And in less than three minutes, so was the game. Harvard Next .. . Michigan State Smiley Carter Griffeth Batchelor Rapp Karas Blackburn Sherman.

You can blame yesterday's slip-ups on one or two factors. Either the line wasn't charging the passer fast enough, or else the Wolverine backs are at fault. Frankly, we aren't placing the blame on the line. We were convinced throughout the dayc that Michigan's line is all we can ask for. From end to end, we were satisfied. Therefore, we are inclined to think that after a few drills dur- ing the week, men like Kresja . . . green at staying with the fleet ends who drift back to flag in speeding pigskins ... will get onto the idea, and all will be cleared up. Don't worry yourselves about this flaw in the Michigan attack. It's the kind of thing that practice can perfect. Two scouts from Harvard dropped into the dressing room after the game' to say hello to Crisler . . . Said one, "Maybe you can overwork Harmon during the practices this week and get him injured." "Dont' worry," said Crisler, "we keep Tom in a cage until game time." We liked the sight of seeing the old Touchdown Twins back in the lineup. It was Paul Kromer who led Michigan to its first victory over State in five years. He scored both touchdowns in the 14-0 affair two years back. Last year in the Spartan battle, he received that fateful knee injury. You've got to give the kid credit for this comeback. One knee went bad. He was forced to quit. It healed. He came back. The other knee went bad. Two weeks later, he still plays ball . . . with his legs taped from top to bottom. They tell us that Ralph Young, State athletic director, was under the impression that the Kieppe to Paw- lowski pass good for State's last score, had touched the ground. The refs evidently believed other- wise. Although, frankly, we felt that in baseball, that sort of ball would require a throw to first. What's the difference though. We won anyway. W i ' LE TH EY LAST A FEW USED MODELS ('DEMONSTRATORS") FOR RENT OR SALE ON EASYS T E RMS! ~ Gophers Turn Back Nebraska, 13-7 KNOXVILLE, TENN., Oct. 5.-(P) -The Tennessee Vols' grid prestige, punctured in the 1940 Rose Bowl game, was patched and umped up skin tight today with a sparkling 13 to 0 victory over "one of the best football teams in Duke history." Forty-two thousand sun-saturated fans who overflowed Shield-Watkins Stadium sat thrilled and amazed as Coach Bob Neyland's team, forsak- ing for the first time the solid old Army game, ran the legs from under the Blue Devils with a tricky new shift, some fancy ball juggling and more passing than Vol fans have seen in a long time. The scoring was confined to the second quarter, a pass good for 33 yards to Al Hust accounting for the first points, and a plunge by Bob Foxx following a blocked punt net- ting the second touchdown, but that doesn't tell the story of the way the Vols swarmed over the bedeviled Blue Devils. Only once did Duke invade Ten- nessee territory. The remainder of the time the Blue Devils were rock- ing back on their heels. Tennessee Trounces Blue Devils, 13--0 MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 5. -(P)- Minnesota's Gophers smashed an- vont and Don Clawson, turned the Syracuse Homecoming Day into vis- itors' day by burying the Orange under a 40-0 score in Archbold Sta- dium. A crowd of 25,000 saw the Big Ten team's junior halfbacks score two touchdowns apiece. Wisconsin made it a great day for the Western Conference by trounc- ing Marquette, 33-19, but Indiana's Hoosiers found Texas more than it could handle and the Longhorns punched out a 13-7 decision. Notre Dame opened its season against A. A. Stagg's College of Pacific outfit and won a routine 25-7 victory, spotting the visitors an early touchdown.

Dave Manning Wins Frosh Swim Titles Dave Manning won three of four events Thursday to capture most of the honors in the Orientation Week swimming finals in the Sports Build- ing pool. Manning bettered the best quali- fying times in every race as he placed first in the free style and back stroke sprints and the 100-yard free style. The other first place went to Paul Newman, who led the field in the 50- yard breast stroke. Manning's time of :25.5 in the 50- yard free style was .6 seconds faster time, while he clipped :1.2 off the than his own leading qualifying time, while he clipped :1.2 off the best previous standard in the back stroke when he finished in :3 1.1. His clocking in the 100 was 1:04.2, which bettered Karl Reed's 1:06 in the pre- liminaries. Newman did the 50-yard breast stroke in :32.2, .2 seconds bet- ter than his own time last week. .1 amm" MEN 11 rl I BARGAINS in USED BOOKS To avoid disappointment '...
