Michigan's. great Tommy Harmon
raced 10 yards to one touchdown
and passed Is to a teammate for
another to lead the Wolverines to
l4-to-0 victory over PennSyl-
vania before $4,000 impressed fans
today.
Any doubts that the Michigan
star would retain the all-America
laurels accorded him last season
were erased as he turned in one Of
the most brilliant performances of
his career against the previously un-
defeated Quakers.
BY scoring touchdown and kick
ing two extra points Harmon ran
his total points for five games to 81
and left his most prominent rival,
Frank Reagan of Penn, far in the
rear.
The heralded duel between Rea-
gan and Harmon never did develop
The diminutive Penn ace neither
could pass or run to advantage
against the stout Michigan defense,
and he finally was jerked from the
game by Coach George Munger early
in the final period.
Reagan Gets Nowhere.
The best Reagan could do was
toss couple of 11-yard passes. and
his longest run from scrimmage was
7 yards. Harmon, in addition to
his two scoring plays, streaked
through and around the Penn line
for gains of %, IT. IA. IA and IL
yards. and completed two other long
passes of "a and IA yards. In addi-
ton. his kicking was splendid He
was, in word, terrific.
Due principally to Harmon's ef-
forts, but with couple of low bows
to Fullback Bob Westfall and Quar-
terback Forest Evashevski. Michi-
gan was able to gain 223 yards by
rushing to Penn's 1870 and to hold
the Quakers even in first downs at
IL apiece. Michigan scored its
touchdowns in the first and third
periods. Penn numbered down as
far as Michigans 2-yard line at
the start Of the final quarter. but
couldn't score through the punched
Wolverine defense.
Harmon carried the ball % times
for net gain of 142 yards and COM
pleted three passes for 81. Reagan
in II tries penetrated Michigan S
line for net of only 10 yards. Of
the seven passes he threw. three
were completed for 80 yards and
two were intercepted.
Penn Makes One Threat.
Westfall who was slashing of the
Penn tackles when Harmon wasn't
circling an end. piled UP a net yard
age of IA himself. The Wolverines
would feint with Westfall couple of
times and then cross with their
right-Harmon. Capt. Evashevski.
after personally supervising Har-
mons touchdown run in the first Pc
riod. was injured just before the half
and never did get back. but Harmon
seemed to run pretty we'll without
his famous blocker clearing the way
for him
In addition to its two touchdown
drives. the second OF which carried
SO yards with Harmon and Westfall
ripping and tearing for long gains
Michigan went down to Penns Is
and again to its II in the second pc
riod, and when the game ended the
undefeated Wolverines were on the
Quaker %, the result of a long pass
from Harmon to end Ed Frutig.
Penn's only real scoring threat
came in the fourth period, when
the Red and Blue went to the 2-yard
line and then threw futile pass into
the end zone Westfall batted it
down. Otherwise. the Quakers' best
efforts were drives of 80 and 80 yards
and their closest approach to
score the Michigan 18.
Wistert Is Line Star.
Tackle Al Wistert probably had
more to do with piling up the Penn
attack than any other Michigan
player. Ed Allen. the Penn fullback.
kept Harmon from scoring three or
four more touchdowns. Harmon
went around him, but he never did
go through him.
