Like most Big Ten teams, it had a line that averaged 200 Ibs., had reserves three deep. Among its backs were two streaks who could run 100 in 10 flat. And the prize Host Yost wanted most to show off was its 194-lb. halfback, Tom Harmon, who at 20 and only half way through his second year in a Varsity jersey, has been hailed as the No. 1 footballer of the year...
There have always been big boys in the Big Ten: Chicago's Walter Eckersall, Illinois' Red Grange, Minnesota's Bronko Nagurski and Herbert Joesting, Michigan's Willie Heston, Harry Kipke, Benny Friedman. But Tom Harmon can run like Grange, buck like Joesting-and pass and kick besides. Although he may not be a point-a-minute man he could almost qualify as a half-a-point-a-minute man.

They saw the vaunted Michigan backs-(Harmon, Kromer, Westfall and Evashevski)-trot onto the field and in less time than it takes to say Evashevski make sausage meat of a not-so-bad Yale team that had beaten Army and Columbia earlier in the season...

...back who shone most brilliantly last week was Tom Harmon of Michigan. Against Iowa, Junior Harmon, a 9.9 sprinter and champion hurdler, scored every one of Michigan's 27 points: four touchdowns (including a 90-yd. dash after intercepting a forward pass) and three conversions- as magnificent a display of fancy field running, forward passing, blocking and place-kicking as has been seen on a college football field since the days of Red Grange. Michigan 27, Iowa...
