This is true in the case of Michigan's Tom Harmon. In his three years of Varsity foot- ball at Michigan Harmon compiled a record that marked him as one of the greatest players of all time. Compared to his other years, Har- man's record as a sophomore wasn't too outstanding, but it was good enough to land him an honorable mention spot in the All Big Ten backfield. In his first season he gained 388 yards, threw 45 passes and completed 21 for a gain of 3101 yards. But in his J.unior year he got up among the leaders. He scored in every game except the one with Min- nesota and altogether gained 884 yards rushing and 488 passing. The Inext year however he reached his peak; setting a new Western Con- ference record for touchdowns. He looked best in the first and last games of his senior year. Celebrating his twenty-first birthday, he ran wild in the opener against California at Berkeley although playing but half the game. He returned the opening kickoff for the first of his four touchdowns, completed five out of nine passes, and gained 131 yards rushing during the game. His last game was probably his best however. Against supposedly strong Ohio State he scored three times and led the Wolverines as they trampled the Buckeyes 40-0. He wound up the season with 852 yards gained rushing and 506 passing. In the three years he scored 237 points, including 33 touchdowns, threw passes for 96 more points, and completed 101 of his 233 attempted passes. He carried the ball 399 times, gaing 2,134 yards, an average of 5.4 yards per try. 'A Ll TIME McIntosh To Pitch for Michigan Nine in First Home Game Today For those friends of Tom Harmon who continue to believe that this is not the end for the Gary Flash, there is a bright ray of hope in the words of Coach Fritz Crisler. Perhaps the closest friend that Tom had at Michigan, the Wolver- ine mentor has a. theory that holds a lot of weight. Piecing together bits of information, Crisler specu- lated on Harmon's fate. He felt that Harmon may have been forced down somewhere in the Amazon jungles of South America and had not crashed in the sea ... GREEN AND COCKY: That's what Crisler called Harmon when he came out for freshman ball after a sensa- tional season at Gary's Horace Mann High School. And it was for that reason that Harmon "sat out" his first game as a sophomore... HE'S STILL ALIVE: The other half of that "Tom and Evy" duo, Forest Evashevski who quarter- backed at Michigan while Harmon raced to glory, refused to believe that Harmon was dead. "I feel that Tom will show up alive before long." BEST IN NATION: Harmon won the Heisman Trophy in his senior Golfers Leave For Ohio State In First Match Five members of the 1943 Michigan golf squad left by car at six o'clock this morning for Columbus to play Ohio State in the first inter-colle- giate match of the season Saturday. Captain Ben Smith, Bob-Fife, Bill Ludolph, John Leidy, and Roscoe Bonisteel Jr., compose the Wolverine team that will oppose the Buckeyes. These men will play best-ball match- es in the morning, and in the after- noon there will probably be five singles matches. Coach Ray Courtright said yester- day that the squad has been severely handicapped by unfavorable weather, and has not had sufficient practice to be in top condition. However, Ohio State has been weakened by the loss of Billy Gilbert, John Krisko and John Steckel, and may not be as strong as in previous years. I Don't Give a V year as the nation's outstanding football star. And in the same year he added the Western Conference grid award to his collection ... LAST RIDE FOR 98?: Somehow of other we can't believe that "old 98" has gone on its last ride. Har- mon wanted "a crack at Berlin" and "a Jap for Michigan." And we feel that the same spirit which carried Harnion to immortal grid- iron heights, will bring him back from oblivion. There are new fields to conquer for "old 98." This time it's for keeps. Pepsi-ColaCompanyLong Island City, N.Y. Bottled locally by Franchised Bottlers. ) ~:< The Wolverint eine will play their first home game of the season against Michigan Normal at four o'clock today on the Ferry Field dia- mond. Coach Ray Fisher expects to start, freshman Don McIntosh on the |Ni mound for the Varsity, and in all probability he will be relieved by another freshman, Dick Drury from Ann Arbor. Bill Cain is slated to take over after Drury, and undoubtedly the veteran hurler will finish out the game. The rest of the lineup will be the same that played against Iowa in the opening games last Saturday at Iowa City. Michigan should not encounter too much trouble from the Hurons, and probably Coach Fisher will get a chance to try out some of his re- serves before the Michigan State tilt here tomorrow. Last year the Maize and Blue trounced Ypsi 13 to 4 in the game on the Hurons home diamond, but lost the contest here, 5-1, when the Wolverines just didn't seem to click. Pro Boim and Mickey Fishman will not see action today because Fisher plans to use one or both of them against the Spartans tomorrow. Dick Savage, Michigan's fourth veteran twirler, has the flu and will not be available for either contest. Want to Da to the smooth tones of Bill Sawyer UNION * Do what you like!
