Continued Rains Put Crimp in
Bierman's Plans For Game
With Troians

Pasadena, Calf, Dec. 28.-P-Cal.
ifornia's weather, dripping wet since
Tulane's football team arrived for its
rose tournament game with the Uni
versity Of Southern California here
Friday, Monday served to lengthen
the face Of the Greenies' mentor, Ber-
ME Biernnan.
Rain Sunday night further damp
ened tournament park and the fore-
cast called for more rain Monday,
putting q crimp in Bierman's plans
for q long, hard workout.
The green wave board Of strategy
had q heavy training scredule mapped
out up to Thursday. A wet gridiron
is not conducive to concentrated prac-
tice efforts.
Not that the greenies are unused
to sodden sod, for 10 Of their eleven
victories this fall were on wet grid
irons, but Coach Bier1nan feels his
team needs much work the remainder
Of this week to get back into it's win
ming stride for the clash with Troy.
Should the rainy spell continue
through Friday. it probably would
work further inconvenience on the
greenies. The Green Wave appears to
have rolled much better via the air
than the Trotans during the last sea-
son., with Don Zimmerman's accurate
passes so effective. and q wet green
sward probably would spoil the timing
of the aerial plays as well as the &C.
curacy Of the losses.
The Trojans are unused to muddy
going. but with their superior weight
and q preference for power drives, a
slow field would probably work to
their advantage.

Ruled Ineligible
Investigation Reveals Bernard
Rostberg Over High
School Age Limit

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 28.-[R)-
Bernard Rostberg, all-state guard on
the Central high school football team
of 1881, was 20 years old on the
twenty-fourth Of last August and,
therefore, ineligible for intercollegiate
competition during the grid season
just closed, according to John G.
West, superintendent Of city schools.
Question as to Rostberg'S eligibility
was raised during the season but
nothing was found to indicate the
athlete was beyond the age limit set
by the North Dakota High School
League rules. School records here
had his birth registered as July "a,
1912. Both parents verified the date
when questioned by the superintend-
ent.
A baptismal record at Larimore was
found by Rev. L. Dordal giving Au-
gust "a, 1911, as Bernard's date Of
birth, which has been accepted by
school authorities as authentic.
West said he attached nc blame t.
anyone because Rostberg played foot
ball while ineligible. The superin.
tendent believes goth the athlete ant

Of this, he claims, is the fact records

why he should not be baptized and
Philip Immediately baptized a new
