Harmon S No. 80
Jersey Placed
Among Trophies

ANN ARBOR, Mich, NOV. 70. CUP
The book was closed on number
98 today, and equipment manager
Henry Hatch of Michigan Univer-
sitiy put it reverently away in
musty trunk beside number At.
Tom Harmon wore jersey SO. Ben
ny Oosterbaan, famous end OF 10
years ago, wore Al No one in the
University Of Michigan will ever
wear these numerals again.
Harmon finished his college car
eer in true story-book fashion, shat
tering the touchdown record of
Red Grange, the old "Galloping
Ghost of Illinois. Harmon scored
three touchodwns Saturday as
Michigan routed Ohio State 400,
to shoot his total for three seasons
to 33.
However, Harmons 237 points for
thtree seasons far surpass Oranges
figures because the Michigan star
booted the points after touchdowns,
duty left to Oranges teammates.
In addition Harmon threw 16 touch
down passes.
Harmon's three year history COM
pares with the other great rec
ords written into the gridiron an
nails by Thorpe, Gipp, Nevers and
the rest. The 193-play Gary, Ind,
halfback carried the ball 399 for
a total of G,151 yards or 5.4 aver
age. He completed 101 of 233 passes
for 1896 yards, with 20 interruptions
and his punting, something new
for 1910, averaged about 38 yards
per kick He scored 33 touch
downs, 33 place-kick conversions
and two field goals.
Like Grange, Harmon broke into
the clear most often with a cut
back through tackle. One of the
most powerful and fastest runners
in the nation, he rarely gave tack
lers more than a handhold.

SPORT PARADE

added baseball experience, know
ledge and assurance. Too, this pro-
gress was achieved with a club
little better than second rate me-
chanically, and one on which dis
sension was the password to the
dugout. Your guess is as good as
mine as to what Feller would have
achieved with a club, say, like the
Yankees.
Just look at what he did this past
season. He was first in games won,
first in innings pitched, first in
strikeouts, was rated the second
most valuable player in the Ameri-
can league and first in complete
games pitched. incidentally, only
two pitchers since 1920 have hurled
more complete games than Feller
did this year. They were Red Fa-
Der in 1921 and George Uhle in
1926.
Feller has gained control since
he was a rookie, but that fast ball
that strikeout streak-is still in
tact. In his five seasons he has
pitched a total of 1,l06 innings and
973 of the batsmen who faced him
struck out. That gives him nigh
on to a strikeout an inning for an
average of 790 strikeouts per game
A survey of Feller's low-hit games
offers another slant on his pro-
gress. In 1886 his best achievement
was a 2-hitter against the AS. A
year later he turned in 2-hltters
against the AS and Detroit and a
4-hitter against Boston. In 1899
he pitched a 1-hitter against st
Louis and a 4-hitter against De
troit. In 1889 he let Boston and
Detroit down with one hit, had two
3-hitters against Chicago and one
agaist Detroit, and held Chicago
and Boston to four hits.
This season he really unWound
He pitched a no-hitter against Chi
cago, pitched one and two-hit
games against Philadelphia, lei
New York, Detroit and Philsdel-
phia down with three hits, and held
New York and Washington to foui
hits
What does 1941 hold for Fellerf
And what will they be saying
about him in 1850?

Nebraska Needs
Single Victory

KANSAS CITY Mo. Nov. Is CUP)
The Nebraska Cornhuskers, who lost
by a touchdown to Minnesota and
went on to win seven straight
games, today needed only victory
over lowly Kansas State TO assure
a clear claim to the Big Six title
Nebraska already IS certain of
tie for the title and has received
at least two "feelers" for New Years

the record of the team to date,
so the Cornhuskers could even lose

Five Major Grid
Teams Remain
Among unbeaten

NEW YORK. Nov. 25. (UP)-Ffve
unbeaten and united football teams
dominate the nation today as the
season goes into its last big week
Each section has produced one out
standing team, and from them a
good share of the post-seaSon Bowl
contests will come. Here they are
by sections:
MIDWEST - Minnesota, boasting
strong claim to the national
championship with one OF the
toughest schedules in the country.
SOUTH-Tennesse playing thru
schedule that calls for frequent
breathers, but still a powerful foot
ball team.
EAST-Boston College, fast ver-
satile attack operating behind what
may be the best line in the ma
ton. A great bet for any Bowl game.
FAR WEST-Stanford the mir
acle team of 1910. A tricky squad
that plays from the Chicago Bears
formations and has more mystery
in its attack than Houdini. Almost
a sure shot to carry the hopes OF
the west into the Rose Bowl.
SOUTHWEST A. & M,
with fine, rugged line working
ahead of Kimbrough & Co. A pow
erful, balanced football team that
could operate in any league sue
cessfully.
Of the five Titans, Minnesota
alone can rest on it's laurels. The
Gophers closed their season Satur-
day with a victory over Wisconsin.
The other four go back to the
wars this week and an upset or two
is not outside the realm of possibil-
ity.
On Thursday Texas A. & M. plays
Texas and while the Aggies figure
to take this one rather easily, any
thing can happen in the fever and
excitement OF a traditional game.
On Saturday Boston College meets
Holy Cross and this one should be
fairly easy, opening the way to
bowl invitation for the Giants from
Boston.
Stanford may have more trouble,
for on Saturday it meets a Cali
fornia team that is a traditional
rival and has been improving stead
lily throughout the season.
Vanderbilt is the only thing
blocking Tennessees way to a per-
feet season, but the Volunteers
should be able to take that hurdle
in their stride and be in position
for another Bowl invitation.
The list of games this week is
not long, but it includes some that
figure to be close and exciting. On
Thursday the best ones, besides
Texas-Texas A. & M, are:
Brown VS.. Columbia, Kansas VS..
Colorado State, Tulsa VS.. Arkansas
and Wake Forest VS.. South Carolina.
On Saturday the list includes,
besides those already listed:
Duke VS.. Pittsburgh, Duquesne
VS.. Carnegie Tech, Fordham VS.. New
York university, Florida VS.. Auburn,
Georgia VS.. Georgia Tech, Louisia-
ma State VS.. Tulane, Nebraska VS.
Kansas State, oregon State VS.

should have been taken care OF
by El Centre. But then Imperial
has been the best sport regarding
accommodations to other schools all
season.
This one comes from Brawley:
Why count Brawley out of the
race?
BIB.
Because Brawley can win only if
El Centre loses to Holtville and if
Calexico drops games to both I'M
perial and Brawley. That combi-
nation of results is hardly probable.
This one deals with all-valley sell
ectlons:
Dear Kinne:
My Candidates for all-valley
tackles are Carlos GARLIC and Jim
Stevenson of Calexico and Ell
Centre.
Signed, d. B.
Garlic is certainly the leagues
outstanding tackle and Stevenson
was the best man on the El Centro
line in the Thanksgiving day game.
And a final letter from Calipat-
ria:
Dear Bench Warmer:
That division of basketball
leagues TO put FL Centre, Braw-
ley and Calexico i'm one division,
Calpatria, Holtville and Imperial
in the other, sounds like the best
shot in the arm basketball could
get down here.
We hope it can be worked out.

Redskins Drop
PIT Decision to
New York Giants

NEW YORK, Nov. 25. CUP)-
Everything points toward the Wash

Bears emerging as divisional cham
pions in the National Professional
Football league and meeting for
the worlds football title at Wash
ington Dec. 8, but there's still ray
of hope left for the two runners.
up, the Brooklyn Dodgers and
Green Bay Packers.
With their poorest performance
of the season, the Redskins sue
cumbed to the New York Giants
Sunday at the polo grounds before.
46,439 persons-largest crowd to'
see pro game in the east this
year-and left the Dodgers with a
mathematical chance to tie for the
eastern title. The Giants, scoring
two quick touchdowns in the first
period, hung on to beat the Red
| skins, 21-7.
| The Redskins still hold a one
game lead over the Dodgers, who
came from behind to beat the Chi
cago Cardinals yesterday, 14-9, but
must defeat the Philadelphia Eagles
at Washington next Sunday in or
der to clinch the eastern division
| crown.
The Chicago Bears rolled up a
smashing 47-25 victory over the
Cleveland Rams before 20,717 at
Chicago yesterday, but still have to
win their final game to clinch the
western title because the Green
Bay Packers bounced back from a
loss to the Giants and walloped the
Detroit Lions, 50-7. The Bears fl
nal game next Sunday is with their
south-side rivals, the Chicago Car
dinals, who handed them one OF
their three defeats earlier in the
season, a surprise 21-7 setback.

Spotting the Mexicali Mayas a

El Centro baseballers rallied to
score a AZ victory over the border
city sluggers behind the effective
hurting of Ollie Martin, who al
lowed only five hits.
Steve Ritter, El Centro left field
