WHETHER or not he is the
greatest, Harry Cttroer of Ala
bama it beyond any argument tbe
moat amazing back tbat football can
xbow today.
Doc Blanchard, army's brilliant
back, weighs 209 pounds and can
run the 100 in 10 flat.
Glenn Davis, another army bril
liant, 180 pounds, is the fastest man
in football.
Harry Gilmer, barely II years old,
weighs 198 pounds and be has na

men speed ??
?ither Blanche rd or
Darts can ahow.
Vnd yet I saw him
)ui and run Ala
>una into M points
ifainrt Duke last
sinter, while tack
ing all over - the
leld.
This fall he threw
hree touchdown
>asses against a
itrong L. S. U. team
o earn Ala ham a
into a 26 to T victory over thsrteem
that wrecked Oeorfia. Be tbMi
passed and ran Tennessee dizzy to
win by 25 to 7.
Gilmer has already proved him*
self to be one of the best passers
at all- time. I'd rank him as the
greatest passer in football today, col
lege or pro. But the most amazing
part ot this 156-pound kid is that- he
is one of the best sil-over-the-fleld
tacklers you'll see in many years,
that be is a fine ball carrier who is
not only elusive but who can hold
his feet with a 190-pound back. Also
that he is one of the moft accurate
kickers in the game today.
Batters Big Linesmen
Against Tennessee he kicked out
of bounds on the Volunteers' 4-yard
line. The play was called back. On
his second shot Gilmer again kicked
out on the 4-yard line. Also against
the big forward walls of L. S. U.
and Tennessee he drove his way
through the lines as well as he cut
around the flanks, carrying 200
pounders for 4 and 5 extra yards.
Bow often do yen see a star pass
er, a fine ball carrier and a good
kicker starring in a defensive role?
After.the Duke-Sugar Bowl game
tmm* nrfmT wan into Howl.
Dike's fast, 190-pound back.
"Gilmar?" he said. "He is no 158
pound er. He must have nailed me
10 times today, and I thought he
was going to tear me apart." But
158 to 180 is Gilmer's weight, with
which he does the Job of four men.
For example, in three big games
against Duke, L. S. U. and Ten
nessee, he was largely responsible
for the 77 points Alabama scored.
Gilmer's three main ingredients
are poise, timing and skill. The Ala
bama star has thin shoulders, a
rather thin chest, but he also has a
pair of powerful legs and two big,
strong hands.
Knocking on wood for the sake of
Frank Thomas, he is also as durable
as hickory. He can handle a
heavy battering without slowing
down. The kid is as cold as an ice
berg. You never see him rattled or
hurried. He has a pair of blue-gray
eyes that get the picture before him
in a Bash?even when he is in mid
air throwing a pasa. Handling the
ban from center on a running or a
passing play, he always seems to
be taking his time, and yet he gets
the ball away or starts his run with
out any waste of time.
Coolness and Timing
Frank Thomas tells me that no
breaks of the game ever upset him
in the least. 'Tve never seen any
one," Thomas says, "who knows
better exactly what to do under all
conditions. He can whip a bullet past
aa Baufh does, or give you a 50
yard arm throw of the Luckman
type. And be rarely misses his tar
get. jB he ever mads a single bad
or dHB pass, I never saw it But it
is.his coolness, his timing, his dura
bility that makes his skill stand out.
He throws his shorter passes with
a wrist flip that can't be intercepted.
And he can also nail a receiver 50
yards away, after leaving his feet
for the jump."
While Gilmer has been a leading
factor in carrying Alabama to vie-*
tory, be isn't the only football play
er Frank Thomas has on his squad.
Big Mancha, one of the best centers
in football, beads a strong, fast
charging line. Tew and Hodges are
two hard running backs. This is the
best team Alabama has sent into
action in some years, and Ala
bama has had more than her share
of winning games and winning years.
Also such stars as Don Hutson, Pool
ey Hubert, Mack Brown, Howell,
Hurry Cain, Jenkins, Whttmire and
now Gilmer and Mancha.

Fumbling All Around
If you happen to look over vari
ous accounts of football games
around the map you will run Into
stories of constant fumbling. This is
partly due to the shape of the mod
ern football which is fashioned
largely for a passing attack. It is
built more like a short javelin than
anything else, being narrow and
pointed. A fumble, recovered by the
other side, usually coats from 41 to
(0 yards. The shape at the ball is at
least a big part of the epidemic.
