STAR ATHLETE
Basketball Official Earned
Three Letters at Univer-
sity Of Minnesota. n
tBy r. T. Rocene.)

Bernie Bierman. who refereed the
game between the Aggies and the
Bruins last night, established an envi-
able record as an ailsaround athlete at
the University of Minnesota during the
three years he participated in athletics
at the Minneapolis institution.
Bierman played fullback on the Co
phcr football team for three years and
was captain of the eleven during the
season of 1915. Bierman was elected
captain just after the season had COM
menced. and took charge Of the eleven
under trying circumstances. The team
was composed mostly of green men,
with Captain Scion as the recognized
star Of the crew. Just before the first
conference game Scion was barred
from further playing because he had
played professional baseball with the
Havre, Mont, team during the pre-
ceding summer. Conference experts
predicted that the Gopher eleven would
finish in the cellar. Instead. under the
fighting leadership of Bierman, they
defeated all their opponents except
Illinois, whom they outplayed,. though
held to q 6-to-6 tie.
Bierman for two years played a
guard position on the Minnesota
basketball team. and therefore is well
qualified to officiate in the hoop game.
He also starred as a member of the
Gopher track team before the two

Bierman, besides coach
ing football and track at the Butte
high school, is instructor in CONNER
cial history. He does not coach the
basketball team, as Van Cook. physical
at Butte high, has charge Of

Outclassed at every angle of The
game, the Bruin basketball team wen
down to inglorious defeat before Tho
whirlwind attack of the Aggies last
night, the final score of a one-sideG
game being 80 to in favor of the five
from over the mountains. The Bruins
were outplayed from start to finish
and failed to score single point dur
ing the last half. They were closely
covered all the time, and the few
chances they had at the basket gen.
orally went wild. From the first blast
Of the referees whistle. there was
never minute when the university
men looked like winners. Their pass
ing and guarding was poor while the
farmers passed well, and shot goals
accurately.
SIicker Rice Star.
Rice, Jorgensen and Burgess starred
for the Aggies and to big 'Slicker''
Rice goes a lot of credit. The husky
one played remarkably clean game,
not having personal foul marked up
against him, and also made some pref
ty shots from the floor. After watch
see how they beat Oklahoma by 80
points.
The best thing some of the Bruins
did was to get in each others way
though they fought hard in the first
ten minutes, when the game looked
l.a
who tried their hand at foul shooting
made one point in L. throws.
The game started fast, with Rice,
Iorgenson and Taylor finding the bas-
ket before McQuarric took pass from
Sanderson, and dumped the ball
through the net. A minute later Lar
kin shot the last field goal that the
Bruins made during the game While
the Bruins were missing five free
throws. the Aggies counted three field
goals, and then Sanderson converted
n foul for the Bruins last point. The
half ended with the score of II to S
in favor of the Aggies.
Second Half Slaughter.

ing massacre, the farmers counting Is
points and holding the Bruins score
less. During the last ten minutes

hard throughout the game. while Ben

Chicago. Feb. 2.-hnmors that an

The fact that the sellers were led BY

weakness. Lack of confirmation OF
any attack on an American craft
served to check a general fall in prices.
Extreme cold endangcring the winter

What Courage Is

Sir: Courage is doing the thing one
doesn't dare. For instance. know an
army officer, occasionally in this
country, whose reputation was made
in the Belgian Congo. He told me of
the moment in his life when he was
most scared. and offer it under this
definition of courage. The rule down
there has been to flog the blacks and
cut off various parts of their anatomy
in discipline. and this naturally means
another rule never turn your back on
them. This officer had anothr theory.
When an unruly tribe had committed
certain depredations, and he was or
dcred to discipline them, instead OF
taking II band of men with rifles and
whips, he went alone, unarmcd. While
fellow officers We're praying for the
peace of his soul. he was talking to the
chiefs of the tribe. surrounded by hos
tile warriors. He laid down the law
in words. and then began to realize
| what n damn fool he was. The war.
riors were edging'up. Right before his

to his mind: Don't turn your bacll!'
His mule was 30 PAGES behind him

slowly, turned his back. walked to hi
