Illinois took Harmon's kickoff but punted after two plays. From Michigan's 32, Harmon and Nelson advanced the ball to Illinois's 23. Then Harmon, on a lateral from Nelson, slithered around left end for 20 yards. On third down, Harmon cut back through right tackle for Michigan's second touchdown. The game was less than ten minutes...
Michigan rooters yelled till their cheeks cracked. This was the game they had been waiting for since last year, when Bob Zuppke's inspired Illinois beat Michigan, 16-to-7 This year's Tom Harmon is better than last year's. Toughened by a summer of lifeguarding the municipal beach of his home town, Gary, Ind. (and punting up & down the sand for at least an hour a day), Senior Harmon has been a one-man gang. Practically singlehanded, he mowed down California, Michigan State and Harvard, scoring a total of 69 points. It annoyed Illinois last...
...natural athlete, Harmon was a 14-letter man (football, baseball, basketball, track) at high school, was Indiana State champion at the 100-yd. dash and 220-yd low hurdles. On the football field, he is fast as a jack rabbit. His speed, and his uncanny sense of anticipation, a formidable straight arm, powerful leg drive that shakes off tacklers like tenpins, a confounding change of pace and rumba hips, make a Harmon touchdown run a memorable performance. In addition to his ball-carrying talents, he is a better-than-average blocker, passer, punter, placekicker, quick-kicker and kickoff...
Like most superathletes, Terrible Tommy is always on the spot. Just as baseball fans expected Babe Ruth to hit a home run every time he went to bat and fight fans expect Joe Louis to knock out every opponent in one minute flat, football fans want Harmon to run 95 yards at least once in every game. In Michigan's first game of the season (against California), Harmon ran back the opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown, wriggled 72 yards for another, 86 for a third. Against Michigan State and Harvard he was less spectacular...
...bears a terrifying resemblance to Yost's point-a-minute men. In three games this season, George Munger's Quakers have amassed 147 points: 51-to-0 against Maryland, 50-to-7 against Yale, 46-to-28 against Princeton. What they will do when they meet Tom Harmon U is something Michiganders look forward to with mixed emotions. Francis X. Reagan, star of the Penn squad, has scored ten touchdowns in three games. In four games Harmon has scored eleven...
