Grand Old Man Likes Thought Of Hard Contest He is one of the finest football football football foot foot- ball players of all time Yost told me There isn't a thing he cant can't do His running has been so sensational and has been played up so so much that many think he is Just a 8 ball ball- carrier That isn't true Harmon Harmon Harmon Har Har- mon Is on one of the finest tacklers tacklers- I ever ever saw He can block with the best best when he has has has' hasto to and he is a 8 dependable passer and punter And he loves to play and that means so much I tried to interest the theold old man in the of whether a great blocker made a a great runner runner run run- ner or whether a great greal runner made his blocker look good I wanted his opinion on how much Evashevski meant to Harmon and vice versa But h he wouldn't come right out and commit himself himself him him- self Both Needed It takes both to make a great combination he said I will say this though though though-a a great runn runner r makes it much easier for a block block- er By his timing and his ability ability abil abil- ity to choose the right moment and spot for his moves a fine runner makes a blocker blacker much more effective But of course the reverse is true So I gu guess ss Ill I'll just have to watch Evashevski and Harmon in action myself and figure out which is the more vital Im I'm honest enough to admit that my mind is already half made up If the blocker was the key man why arent aren't all the Michigan backs keeping pace with Tornado Tommy
