UNAY, OOTGBER U, 1940 THE MICHIGAN AItY- Undefeated Wolverine Gridders Slaughter Harvai PAGE THREE d,26-O Tom Harmon LeadsVarsity To Easy Win Touchdown Twins Click As Harmon And Kromer Account For All Points (Continued from Page 1) played, the Wolverines had a six- point lead. The Crimson knew what they were in for after the first play, following the kickoff to Rogers. Harmon carried the pigskin for the first time then and boomed through the Crimson line for nine yards. Harmon rifled a long pass to Cap- tain Forest Evashevski. The ball was far out of his reach, but as Evie flew into the air, he was butted over at midfield by the Crimson defense and Michigan had a first down there on interference. Once again, the Har- vard forward wall bottled up the Wolverines for two plays, but Har- mon, on the next attempt, drove over right tackle for~ 13 yards and another first down. Westfall drove through right guard twice, moving the ball to the 21. Harmon, on a power drive over the Harvard center, scampered to the 14, and on the next play Michigan had a touchdown. Harmon's attempt at conversion failed. Crimson Get Hot For the next 15 minutes, Harvard played its best ball of the afternoon. With their backs to the wall, Crim- son linemen charged hard and fast. Time after time they broke up Wol- verine plays, and it began to look as though an interesting struggle would develop until Harmon stepped into the picture and carried Michigan for- ward for a second score. From his own 30-yard-line "Terrible Tom" sent a quick kick to the Harvard 17 where a Crimson clipping penalty set the Eastern lads back on their own 2. Halfback Charles Spreyer, from the shadows of his own goal posts, punted out on the Harvard 44, and from there the Michigan backfield went into action. Onatwoplays Westfall moved the ,ball to Harvard's 37 and at that pont Harmon faded back and sent the pigskin spinning toward Rogers, who grabbed it on the 25 between three Crimson defenders. Westfall and Harmon alternated in driving to the 3 where Gardella interrupted this touchdown march by intercept- iIg Harmon's rifle pass. Harmon Races 13 Yards Mort Waldstein 'then succeeded in punting to Harmon on Harvard's 33, but Tom tucked the ball under his arm, and before Harvard gridders knew what was going on, he had raced down to the 20 before they hurled him out of bounds. Harmon and Nelson marched to a first down on the 9, and then Tom, on his favorite off-left tackle slant, slid through three Crimson tacklers for his second tally. His conversion this time was good and Michigan led, 13-0 at half time. -It was not until the final minute of the game, in fact, that Harvard suc- ceeded in blasting its way into Mich- igan territory, and then with just seconds remaining, the Crimson ,sassing attack enabled them to move to the Wolverine's 36 where the gun ended their march. Once again in the third chapter, Harvard was able to halt a Michigan threat by intercepting a pass just in front of their goal. This time it was halfback Fran Lee who grabbed Har- Ton's short fourth down pass on the Harvard two and raced it back to his 13. But all fullback Bill Brown could do was fumble on the next play and Michigan was on its way again. Westfall was stopped without gain, and then came the prettiest play of the game. Westfall took the ball from center Bob Ingalis, faked a plunge through guard and then flipped the ball back to Harmon on a shoit lateral behind the line. The Hoosier Hammer found the left side of the Harvard line had been completely fooled by the play, and all he had to do was romp ten yards to his right for a third Mich- igan score. In the fourth period it was Crim- son fumbling that ultimately resulted in the final touchdown of the after- noon.

Yesterday, the former Lorain flash caught a pass from Harmon for a touch- down and in general made a fine showing, in his drive toward a starting post. Frosh Gridmen Practice Daily Coaches Teach Freshmen MichiganGrid System Down at Ferry Field, practicing adjacent to the varsity, are the boys who in the not too distant future will comprise the bulwark of the Michi- gan grid juggernaut. These husky, rangy, fellows all be- long to the freshman class, and un- der the expert tutelage of Wally Weber, head frosh mentor, they are being grounded in the fundamentals of the Wolverine football system so that they may some day be capable of adding to the University's gridiron glory. Assisting Weber again this year, as they have in the past, are Ray Fish- er, in charge of the ends; Ray Court- right, who handles the backfield; and Cliff Keen, who is the developer of the line. Two new additions to the staff, Elmer Gedeon and Horace Tin- ker, both former varsity stars, are also assisting. Tinker played at the pivot post while Gedeon was an outstanding end in his college days. Gedeon, inci- dentally, has an excellent chance of becoming a permanent fixture in major league baseball next year. Every day the frosh strut their stuff on the practice field in the hopes of absorbing enough to enable them to make that big step up to the varsity next year. They certainly have an excellent coaching staff, so the rest is up to the gridders them- selves. down, Waldstein muffed the pass from center and Rogers broke through to down him on Harvard's 28. With the game already on ice, Michigan tried out its passing attack and found the Crimson powerless against Harmon-pegged aerials. After two plays failed, Tom shot a bullet to Ed Frutig, who was tac- kled on the Crimson 16. A toss to Rogers on the one was brought back by an offside penalt3 but Frutig pulled in Harmon's heave on the six and Michigan had a first down. On a power drive over right guard, Harmon picked up three. A pass, Tom to Quarterback George Ceit- haml was knocked down by Spreyer, but on third down Kromer grabbed Harmon's toss in the flat and raced over for the final score. After that, Michigan's reserves bat- tled the weary Crimson on even terms with penalties and fumbles coming as regularly as the Boston subway just outside the stadium. I-M NOTICE Starting Monday, Oct. 13, the Sports Building will be open Mon- days through Fridays until 10 p.m. Earl N. Riskey, Asst. Director Seltzer Shows True Courage After Setback By WOODY BLOCK Call it what you like, but Holbrooke Seltzer, one of Fritz Crisler's reserve guards has more perserverance, in- testinal fortitude or just plain 'spunk' than any three men you can think of. It was 'way back in 1935 that "Hoe" graduated from high school and en- tered Armour Tech night school in Chicago. Things were in such a con- dition at home that he hadn't even planned on going to college. Besides going to classes at night, Hoe worked in the daytime, and after about four years of this he sat down and took stock of himself. "Hoe," he said to himself, "you're studying en- gineering and by gosh if you aren't getting into a rut." So with his one and a half year's credit and a little moneyhe had saved, Holbrooke came to Michigan. Now Hoe is an athlete, a football player by trade and a boxer on the side. So after getting a board job, a room and enrolling on a pre-med course, Holbrooke reported for fresh- man football. He wasn't a world- beater at his guard position, but ev- ery day found him out there, as dur- able and game a player as ever re- ported. Whenever he could, Hoe found odd jobs around town to pick up a little extra money. Besides his football, his board job, studies, and incidental work, he was a member of The Daily sports staff. That, for the ordinary, student, would constitute a well rounded program. The ordinary student, moreover, doesn't get the grades that Hoe knocked off last year. With such courses as Philosophy, Chemistry, Embryology, French and German, Hoe walked off with eight A's and a single B in Speech during his first year. Now to get on with this story. Early in September, Hoe reportedl for football practice in the pink of con- dition. He had been working all sum- mer, running and boxing with one thing in the back of his mind. Hol- brooke Seltzer wanted to go to Cali- fornia for that first game. On the second day of practice the heavens caved in on this stout heart- ed kid. During scrimmage one after- noon Hoe was blocked out of a play with such terrific force that two liga- ments were torn in his knee. The doctors told him he was through for the season. But that didn't extinguish the spark that -burns in this boy's heart. Every day you can see him down at practice leaning on his crutches long- fully watching . . . hoping. He'll tell you he doesn't want to get be- hind on his plays. But in back of all this is a dogged determination, a courage and heart above reproach. don wirtehafter's DAIL Y DOUBLE That Michigan Spirit ... CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 12.- 0 I wish you could have been in Hai- vard Stadium today to see Michi- gan's spirit at its best. In a town 750 miles from Ann Arbor, Fritz Crisler's victorious grid- ders played before almost as many rooters as their crimson opponents had. It was an amazing demonstra- tion of strong alumni backing. On the way to the Stadium, I was surprised at the number of "M" feathers and pompoms that the fans were wearing. But the real display came as the team raced onto the field just before the open- ing kickoff. Blood seemed to stop and go spinning around inside my veins as 10,000 screaming Michi- gan spectators rose to their feet to cheer on our Wolverines. It was an unbelievable display of spirit, 750 miles from home. The Crimson had their followers too, but not as many as you'd expect to turn up to watch a team as great and well publicized as Michigan. Blase easterners stuck to their old habit, however, of liking their foot- ball the Ivy League way. Harvard Stadium is filled only when Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton or one of the other Ivy League squads plays here. Intersectional struggles, even though they produce better football, are not well received in Boston. And so they considered 30,000 a fairly large crowd for this game. If Harmon, the Bob Feller of foot- ball as far as drawing power is concerned, hadn't been in the line- up, the turnout probably would have been a lot less. Terrible Tom, incidently, did only one thing wrong all afternoon. His running was flawless. His passing, on a whole, was amazingly accurate. His kicking was highly improved. But when he left the game shortly before the first half ended, his actions raised many an eyebrow of eastern sports experts in the press box. Four substitutions were made in the Wolverine lineup, one of them being Cliff Wise, for Harmon. The other three replaced first team men immediately ran off the field. Tom, however, stayed behind in the Mich- igan huddle until everything was clear. Then all by himself he dashed for the Michigan dressing room. Naturally it brought a great cheer from the spectators. And naturally the cheer was all for Har- mon, there was no question about that. But there were many in the stadium today who looked at that solo sprint in the same light as I did. Harmon is too great a guy, both on the gridiron and off, to do that sort of thing for personal plaudits. He's a far greater team player than actions like that show him to be. That was the only mistake he made all day. ::nev-d played one of the greatest games of his career this afternoon. Twice during the game, Captain Evie broke through the Harvard defense and literally bar- relled over Crimson backs return- ing Michigan kickoffs. Both times Evashevski crashed down his man on the Harvard 16-yard line. The Crimson fans' favorite, it seemed, was hefty tackle Vern Miller, whom the program announced as a 250-pounder, but whom insiders tell us weighs around 285. He's supposed to be faster this year after taking off weight during summer . . . Mich- igan's band put on as great a show as football team . . . They worked out same political act as they did in State game last week . . . Harvard Boys cheers loud for Willkie song.

A crowd of 42,000 saw the 21 year old blonde halfback come through at the start of the fourth period with a touchdown gallop that brought joy to the hearts of his Northwestern ad- mirers. It was no long run, but a bull-like thrust through the line from the five-yard stripe, after a sensa- tional pass interception. Five plays afterthe fourth period started, De Correvont was over with the first touchdown he ever scored in Dyche Stadium and as the game drew to a close, his marker over- shadowed the three points the defeat- ed Buckeyes had scored on a field goal in the third period. De Correvont Star Of Game De Correvont was the star of the game, both defensiyely and offensive- ly. He tackled viciously and batted down passes, punted brilliantly, and carried the ball 22 times for a total gain of 80 yards, averaging 3.7 yards each time. The Buckeyes, defending Western Conference champions, were out- played in every department, except- ing in the air. The closest they came to scoring, outside of their field goal, was when Scott heaved a long pass to Fisher near the end of the fourth period. Fisher grabbed the ball and galloped into the clear on what seemed to be a certain touchdown. After he had sprinted 53 yards to Northwestern's 35, four Wildcats tore down the field after him and brought him down almost at the same time. Illinois Drops Close Game To S. Cal, 13-7 CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Oct. 12.-( P)- Southern California's football ma- chine, which sputtered to ties in its two previous trials this season, hit high gear for a single minute in the first period today for a touchdown which gave the Trojans a 13 to 7 in- tersectional triumph over Illinois be- fore 30,125 spectators in Memorial Stadium. g Trailing at halftime, 7 to 6, after r having been outfought by an out-- weighed Illinois team, Southern Cali- fornia suddenly gained possession on the Illinois 23 after a poor punt, and then smashed to a game-break- ing score in a short but brilliant dis- play of ground power. Illinois, working five passes suc- cessfully, drove to the Trojan six in the final period, but didn't have the punch "in the clutch," losing pos- session on downs. State Passes Click To Beat Purdue, 20.7 EAST LANSING, Oct. 12.--4)- The Michigan State Spartans com- bined an effective passing attack with a ground offensive sparked by a halfback "discovery," Charley Car- ey, to beat the Purdue Boilermakers, 20 to 7, in the Spartans' first home game of the season before 16,500 fans today. Carey, a sophomore, helped set up State's second touchdown, and, after leading a march down the field for the third, crashed over the goal line and converted the extra point. State's vaunted passing combina- tions scored two of the counters and counted for a 15-yard thrust on the trial for the final touchdown. The Boilermakers outgained the Spartans 180 yards to 150 from rush- ing, but the ability of State's line to stall off threats deep in its own terri- tory meant the difference between victory and defeat. .a Pennsylvania Wallops Yale, 50-7 PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 12. --(FP)-. Penn shoved Yale around Franklin Field today as if the Elis were a grade school football team, rolling up seven touchdowns and various other points for a 50 to 7 walkaway before a throng of 50,000. Francis Xavier Reagan, Penn's senior left halfback, and his under- study, Paul Wexler, ripped the Bull- dog line to tatters and skipped hither and yon for a total of five touch- downs between them. The statistics tell the story as con- vincingly as the score. Penn gained 224 yards from rushing to a loss of nine for the Blue. Northwestern Surprises O S. U.; Illinois Loses STATISTICS OF MICHIGAN-HARVARD GAME Michigan That is the story of Hoe perserverance personified. Seltzer,I Fritz, Sukup To Lead Attack of Forward Wall Long after the cheers of the crowd have died away signifying the end of another football season, long after the uniforms have been packed with moth balls and the pigskins deflated, football fans and critics everywhere will be singing the praises of Mich- igan's touchdown-makers, Ralph Fritz and Milo Sukup. Two years ago Michigan had the "Touchdown Twins" in Tom Harmon and Paul Kromer. But that devas- tating combination was broken up when Paul's knee was injured. This year Coach Fritz Crisler has come up with a new combination, the "Touch- down-Makers." Two of the biggest reasons why Michigan has a line that rates as one of the best in the nation are Fritz and Sukup. They comprise the Wol- verine's starting combination at the guard position. They're known as "Tugboat" and "Curly" on the practice field simply because Ralph Fritz is built along the lines of a Mississippi schooner and Milo Sukup has a head of hair that 'isn't there.' But on the playing field this in- separable pair are known as two of the hardest charging, fastest starting and most accurate blockers in the Middle West. Weight, drive and speed are the three essentials that Fritz and Sukup use to mow 'em down. Fritz packs the weight and drive and Sukup fur- nishes the speed. And when these two pals dig in and kick you can hear the smack of pads in the highest tier of seats in the Stadium.
