Michigan kept marching, driving, scoring with- out any apparent resistance. The Wolverines' 77 yard march early in the third quarter required just 12 plays to carry the ball across. After using the land route to take the ball to the Ohio 41, Harmon sandwiched an 11 yard gallop with two completed passes to Frutig, the second in the end zone to garner the fourth Wol- verine touchdown and again by a Michigan senior. After that, it was no contest. The results had been clearly decided and it was only a matter of what the final score would be. Cracks Grange's Record Harmon with 31 touchdowns to his three year credit still needed an- other to crack Grange's long stand- ing record, and it was only five min- utes later that he got it. This time, after Michigan had driven the ball to Ohio's 18 yard line, Tornado Tom faded back to pass, but instead roared to the right sidelines and behind a host of Maize and Blue interference stormed into the end zone standing up. That made it 32 for the Ace, and the 33rd was yet to come. Late in the final period, he culminated a 53 yard Wolverine drive by crash- ing over his own right tackle from' the Ohio seven. His kick for the point was good and the Michigan total for the day had been raised to 40. And so a brilliant season that started nine weeks ago with a 41-0 triu phnover the GoldenBears of California was completed today in the huge Ohio horseshoe stadium with a 40-0 shellacking of the Buck- eyes.

Reagan Scores Three Times To Rock De Correvont Leads Purple To 20-0 Ithacans; Win COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 23.-They turned the lights out on the phe- nomenal collegiate career of Tom Harmon here in Ohio Stadium today. Thirty-eight seconds before the blast of a gun spelled gridiron peace for another year, 73,648 thrilled spectators rose to their feet to pay tribute to the greatest football player of the modern era. A fleet, slim gridder named Clifford Wise raced onto the field from the Wolverine bench. The crowd was tense and silent. They watched eagerly as Wise reported to the referee, they sensed what was to come. Then as a weary warrior, shirt tattered and pants splattered, galloped off the field, from the stands came a thunderous blast of cheers and yells that livened the drizzly gloom surrounding Columbus town. They weren't satisfied to stamp their dampened feet against the stadi- um cement, pound their cold hands together, and howl till their voices cracked. Many of the huge throng ran to the field to get .,a. one last close look. They pulled at his jersey and grabbed at "Ole 98" on his back. They pounded him and pushed him. They tried to raise him on their shoulders. But r. with a broad and proud smile on his battered face, Michi- gan's Hoosier Hurricane fought his way through them{ with the samhe power that has enabled him to crash past < Wolverine opponents for the last three years.' Paul Kromer blazed his way back to the headlines once again yester- day as'he climaxed his amazing comeback with a thrilling 80-yard touchdown run on a punt return, NoWho'sBestU And while cheers and yells and foot stamping died out tonight, they were still talking about the great Harmon in this unhappy home of the badly-beaten Buckeyes.

They accepted no comparisons. They had seen for themselves, and that was enough. Over a sloppy stadium turf, he had run wild against Ohio. Red Grange's scoring record had been soundly cracked, despite weather that was definitely not for Harmon. Tom, an angling runner that relies on cutbacks and sudden jerks to break through opposing tacklers, had been stopped twice already this year by muddy sod. But today in singing his swan song he dazzled the Buckeye squad with a sensational display of running, passing and kicking. He was All-American in every respect. And now the name Harmon is nothing but a memory at Michigari. It is a memory of three spectacular gridiron years that started in the Michigan stadium in 1938, when Harmon, sent in as substitute midway in the opening Michigan State game scampered and hurdled his way over fallen Spartan defensemen for long gains., It is a memory of three golden gridiron years that ended when Wise raced onto the field this afternoon. During that period, Harmon has scored 33 touchdowns, kicked two field goals, and 33 points after touchdown for a total of 237 points. If that were not enough, 16 other Michigan touchdowns resulted directly from his passes. All in all, he carried the ball 398 times and made 2,134 yards over the rushing route, he tossed 233 passes and completed 101 of them for 1,399. Only 20 were intercepted by Wolverine opponents. That makes Harmon good for 3,533 yards gained during his brilliant collegiate career. It's a distance of almost three miles. With Harmon goes Michigan's dynamic captain, Forest Evashevski, one of the greatest blocking backs that ever lived. He was more than a Britton to the Hammer, he was the leader that has kept the Wolverines spiritually at their peak for all eight games this year. He was a line- backer second to none. Also through is daring Ed Frutig, affable, .good-natured, and yet a gridiron sparkplug. Then there's Ralph Fritz, under-rated guard to whom today's game was dedicated. It was his 23rd birthday and the entire squad sang for him in the dressing room when it was over. Joe Rogers, Milo Sukup, Paul Kromer, Harry Kohl, Ed Czak, they all became Michigan memories in the Ohio stadium this afternoon. Football, it seems, won't be the same next year without these figures. We'll miss them. THE SOCIEDAD HISPANICA presents ROBERT E. FRIERS The Vagabond Reporter in a lecture (in English) with moving pictu.ires in color.

But asdarkness blanketed Franklin Field and ,the final whistle blew, Penn was the winner by 22-20 in a thriller the equal of any these ancient gridiron rivals have ever staged. It was a grand triumph for Penn, beaten only by Michigan this year, and a grand finale for theRed and Blue's fine heavy duty back, Fran- cis Xavier Reagan. Performing before a capacity crowd of 79,935, Reagan scored all three touchdowns, held the ball for Gene Davis' field goal and extra point,, and set a new Pennsyl- vania one year scoring record of 103 points. EVANSTON, Ill., Nov. 23. -(P)- Northwestern's Wildcats, with blond Bill De Correvont giving the great- est performance of his collegiate grid- iron career, handed Notre Dame a decisive 20 to 0 licking before 48,000 spectators at Dyche Stadium today. Northwestern, in closing its season with a sixth victory in eight games, held the upper hand throughout the duel, scoring once in the second period and twice in the third. The former Chicago high school sensation passed for the first Wildcat touchdown, set up and then scored the second on a speedy dash off tackle and punted brilliantly as Northwest- ern scored its third win over the Irish in 20 games. His performance had to be brilliant to overshadow the play of his teammate Don Clawson, who scored two of the battle's three touchdowns. First downs ..................................
