Evarts, assisted by Taylor, drew first blood with a goal late in the opening canto. St. Paul's evened the score at 5:02 in the second-period, with Harmon assisted by Mechan and Ordway, but Harvard drew into the load eight minutes later when Beebe, assisted by Benton, netted the puck.

...faster than I can," gurgled goggle-eyed Eddie Cantor, impressed not only by Harmon's velvety-smooth radio voice but his unshakable poise. The $900 he received for singing and clowning with Cantor promptly classed Harmon as a professional, barred him from continuing to play basketball and baseball at Michigan this spring. But to Tom Harmon it was worth it. From East and West came radio offers (including a fabulous tie-up with Bing Crosby), movie contracts from Warner Brothers and M. G. M., a flood of fan letters (including just the imprint of a girl's lips...
