NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Tight de-
fensive play last week stopped the
spectacular football exploits of Jack
Grain of Texas, Frank Reagan Of
Penn and Paul Christman of Mis-
soul. but nothing short of con-
crete wall. it appears, can halt
Thomas Dudley Harmon of Mich
igan.
On the basis of his brilliant play,
not only against Penn last Saturday,
but through the first month of the
season, it is difficult to see how
anything less serious than a broken
leg could keep the Gary Gnd)
thunderbolt out Of the all-America
backfield for the second successive
year.
Against previously unbeaten Penn
Harmon scored one touchdown,
passed for another, booted both
extra points, gained around $50
yards from scrimmage and added
another so yards or so on passes,
outkicked the highly touted Regain
by wide margin and generally
comported himself like the all
America he is. Against Michigan's
fine line play Reagan never could
get started and even his kicking
suffered as he sought desperately to
angle the ball away from the
ubiquitous Harmon.
ChriStman, one of the 1899 sea-
sons biggest thrill providers. had a
bad day against Nebraska, perhaps
because his favorite receiver, Bob
Steuber, was not in the Missouri
lineup. Backfield honors in this
game went to Harry Hopp of Ne
braska Hopp's better-known team
mate, Herman Rohrig, played only
long enough to connect with two
passes good for 48 yards and a
touchdown
Grain, injured the previous week
in the Arkansas game, was thor
oughly hobbleo as Texas suffered
its first defeat, by Rice, 100. T. A.
Weems, 200-pound sophomore, was
the sparkplug for Rice in this upset.

Dean McAdams, great Washington
star, was Commute player against
California, whose fullback. Jack
McQuary, also was a standout. Bill
Sewell, 24-year-old junior from
Washington State and the Pacific
Coast Conferences leader in total
offense, played brilliantly against
Oregon, and Jim Kisselburgh, Oregon
State fullback, was 55-minute per-
former against U. C. L. A.
