the fine shows he puts on when
Saturdays roll around lie weeks Of
ceaseless, tedious drilling on the

This sends him out with some

his whole team with him, since
very often a team rides or falls

Hormon, Michigan Stor,
Offers Good Example

You don't have to go any farther
back than the Illinois-M Michigan
game for an example. Tom Harmon
Is one OF the great backs of the coun-
try. Before the Illinois game some
OF the critics said he was better
than Red Grange because while
Grange was marvellous ball car
rier, Harmon could pass and kick,
block and, in the bargain, carry the
ball as well as Grange.
Whether that's so or not-I mean,
whether he is as good as Grange
or not-he rates at the top or close
to 1t among this seasons backs
and this season he merely is carry
ing on the fine work he did last
year when he didn't get so much of
tumble from the star gazers. And
yet. at Champaign, he was trapped
by the willy Zuppke
Harmon was marked man in
that fray. of course. Plotting the
snaring of the Wolverines, Zup gave
most of his attention to Harmon,
and when somebody said Harmon
was better than Grange it became
q labor of love.
Now Harmon is a great football
back. He was a great back before
that game and he is a great back
now. He was a great back that
day-but he was outnumbered and
surrounded and cut off. He did
manage to score Michigan's touch
down. That, considering what he
was up against, was a signal tri-
umph. But for the rest of the day
the 1llini had him hemmed in and
at the finish they were throwing
him for losses when he tried to lug
the ball.

Hit by Locomotive

AS to how neatly the best of line
men can be mouse trapped on oc-
casion, Steve Owen tells a story of
q player on the college all-star team
that played the Giants a year ago.
II don't want to embarrass him
by telling you his name" Steve said,
"but he was a tackle and we know
he just loved to come busting
through there, and we fixed it so he
could. On the first play from scrim-
mage, with Tuffy Leemans carving
the ball, we let this boy come
through and just then Hank Soar
hit him so hard he spun right around
behind Leemans, who went through
the gap he had left behind him. !

mer and he said to me:
"'steve, will you tell me who it
was that hit me that night?'

had seen Hank and he thought for

Ace Linemen Also Have
Plenty Of Headaches

Star linemen have their trou-
bles and their bad days, too. These
are less conspicuous than the tribu-
lations of the backs because the
backs are in the open and the
average onlooker watches them and
sees little or nothing of what is
going on in the line.
But there are headaches and
heartaches up front, as well-and
for the same reason. The hero in
the line, no matter how strong and
fast and smart he is, can be mouse
trapped or cross-blocked. The bet
ter he is the more likely he is to
get terrific going over some day
because the enemy knows that he
Is the one the rest of the inemen
are leaning on and if he is taken
care of the line will crash.
Whitlow of Rice had that ex-
perience against Fordham. Earl
Walsh, scouting Rice, was very
much impressed with Whitlow and
scarcely impressed at all with the
others on the line. And for Whit
lows benefit-although that's hard
1y the right word-a number of new
plays were rigged on Rose Hill.
1t was strange to see Fordham
backs almost walking through gap
ing holes in the middle of the Rice
line-strange to any one who knew
anything about Whitlow and what
a fine defensive player he is. A lit
lit closer observation would have
shown that the Rams were ganging
up on the hapless young man. Walsh
had spotted defect in the Rice de-
fense that left Whitlow helpless
when these new formations were
hurled at him. Actually, he played
a grand game, fighting against over
whelming odds-and he was paid of
IN bruises and the knowledge that
the enemy had run over, through
and by him.

walk about the deck, drawing their
first free air since the Squalls was
trapped on the ocean floor by an
open induction valve during a dive

others saved were, Roland Blanch-
