Minnesota s Bernie
Bierrnan Is Named
Coach Of the Week
BY STEVE SNYDER

United Press stan COFrespondentl
Chicago, Nov. 13.-CUP) - His
coaching rivals are Just about ready
to petition Washington to call out
another batch Of marines. They
figure that's the only way they can
stop the man the United Press NOM
mates as coach Of the week Benny
Bierman Of Minnesota.
A captain in the q. s. marines
during the World War, Bierman now
Is a major in the marine reserves.
He may be called up in the next
order from Washington, but as long
as he Is camped at Minnesota, the
rough and rugged Golden Gophers
will strike fear in the hearts Of
Western Conference foes.
Bierman Is the cold, calculating
silent type, 50 others talk about
Bernie:
"He is one Of footballs greatest
tacticians," said Coach Herbert o.
(Fritz) Crisler Of Michigan and
Michigan men ought to know. The
Wolverines, for years a jinx team
for Minnesota, now have lost seven
games in a row and 1t was Bierman
who stopped them.
"He is great because he is 90
thorough" CriSler said. mo detail
is too unimportant. A little thing
gone wrong can mess up O play
as easily as q missed major as
Ignment."
It was Minnesota's attention to
little things that drove Michigan
from the ranks Of the undefeate6
last Saturday. Michigan and its
great Tommy Harmon rolled up and
down the muddy field, throttled
Minnesotas attack, scored one
touchdown and threatened on four
other occasions.
Minnesota never threatened once,
but Bierman and his aids knew Of
flaw in the Michigan defense.
At the proper moment, Bruce Smith
sneaked through that weak spot for
an 80-yard touchdown. A place.
kick won the game.
Bierman started his footballing at
Minnesota. He was an all-westeru
halfback and star Of Minnesota's
Big Ten champions in 1915. Back
from the war, he turned to coach
ing and eventually wound up at
Tulane where, In a stretch Of three
seasons from 1928 through 1881, he
lost only one game in "A and piled
up II straight victories before
Southern California beat him in
the Rose Bowl, q to IL.
In 1882, silver haired and In his
early forties, Bierman began to re-
build Minnesota. In place Of the
Tulane passing attack he substitute
ed power, for which rugged Mime
sofa talent was perfectly suited. BY
1888, Minnesotas modern football
dynasty was on q solid foundation.
That team held Michigan's cham
pions to a scoreless tie, and finished
the season undefeated.
Thereafter, nobody licked the
"Grid!ron Glacier" until November
1886, when Northwestern tripped
the Gophers, 6 to 0, ending q q
game winning streak which ranks
with the best Of all time because
Of the caliber Of opposition encoun-
tered.
Minnesota, despite defeats, won
conference titles In 1887 and 1898.
1t Is favored now to win Its nth
title in the eight years Of Bierman
coaching.

UNITED Press Racing Editor
New York, Nov. 13- (UP)-He
started the year as a $4,000 bargain
buy from out Of the rolling hills of
Oregon and he finishes as another
symbol of the uncanny luck Of g. 8.
Howard and the training wizardry
of Silent Tom Smith. The United
Press offers as three year old turf
hampion-Mioland.
A stablemate of the United Press
handicap champion and horse of the
year, Seabiscuit, Midland is the bay
son Of the German stallion Mic
d'Arezzo out of Iolanda. He earned
his title the hard way. He came
from state which never had pro-
duced an outstanding thoroughbred
before. He was placed in training
last winter, now it is winter again
and he Is running farther and faster
than ever.
Here is why he was selected:
1. His record is the best in the
division. He started Is times and
won seven, only once finishing worse
than fourth. He won the American
Derby, the San Juan Capistrano
Handicap and the Potomac, Edge
mere and Westchester handicaps.
Fourth in the Santa Anita, Kentucky
and Hollywood derbies, he defeated
the winners of all three the next
time he met them. He earned
93,570-second highest figure of the
year.
2. He was the only three year old
to step out of his class and win. He
gave away weight in the Edgemere
and was locked in the gate; yet he
charged out and won going away.
He conceded poundage to Hash,
Sickle T., Carrier Pigeon, Volitant,
Dusky Fox and Salaminia on a
heavy track in the Westchester, yet
again he won going away.
3. He ran throughout the year, on
all kinds of tracks, carrying all kinds
of weights and was ridden by eight
different jockeys. He met every good
horse in his class save Fenelon, yet
the only one he failed to defeat was
Bimelech. But while Bimelech left
the tracks. cripple, after scratch
ing out of several events, Midland
grew in stature with every succeed
ing month.
Second choice-Belair studs Fene-
lon, a bay son of Cir Gallahad III.
Fenelon won six of IL starts and was
second in three more for earnings OF
$56,220. He won the Lawrence Re-
alization, Empire City handicap,
Travers and Jockey Club gold cup
but was no match for older horses
when he went out of his division. He
didn't face Midland, Bimelech
Sirocco, Sweepida or several other
top members of his class.
Third choice e. r. Bradley's
Bimelech, dark brown son of Black
Tony and juvenile king of 1889
Bimelech finished in the money or
all of his seven starts, winning the
Preagkness, the Belmont Stakes, the
Derby Trial and the Blue Grass. He
led all thoroughbreds in earnings OF
$110,005, but he didn't withstand the
test C time. He defeated Midland !;
but not when that opponent was at
his best. And he had nothing for
opposition when he won the Trial
and the Blue Grass.
Champion fllly-Foxcatcher Farms
Fairy Chant, a chestnut daughter OF
Chance Shot. An in-and-outer, Fairy
Chant won four times and placed
six in 10 starts. She won the Bel
dame, Gazelle and Santa Margarita
for earnings OF $46,75o; she ran all
distances on all sorts of tracks; and
she carried more than her share of
weight.

FORTUNE HUNTERS
To Get At Wars Treasures
JUST CAN'T WAIT

(AssOeiafed Press Feature Serviee)
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. g.
New legends of buried treasure,
to stir the imagination of ad-
venturerS for centuries to come,
may be in the making during the
present war.
History shows that when ma
tons are invaded, an immense
amount of gold, silver and jewel
~ goes into hiding. Even entire
national treasures have disap-
peared. Some of them-such as
the boards of Darius CodomannuS
the Persian and Dom Paul Kru-
ger the Boer-stiH are objects of
search.
What is happening in Europe
today is shown by the story OF
how the fugitive Norwegian gov
eminent hid its gold in the noun
tains, then struggled S13.0O0.00
of it to- the Seacoast on children's
sleds. and shipped it to the Unit
ed States.
Individuals. too, doubtless have
taken desperate measures to
save their tangible wealth-and
you can be sure they didn't put
it in the local banks.
At least one Californian. who
has had several filings at the
buried treasure market, is so sure
of all this that he's just waiting
for the first man to show up with
a buried treasure map from Eu-
rope.

Answers To Penetrafor

The following messages, ad-
dressed to The Citizen, are in an
swer to Penetrator's release on
Tuesday of this week of an art
icle concerning alleged high cost
of living In Key West:
KEY WEST IS BEST
I'm answer to PERPETRATORS art
icle on the high cost of living in
Key West, I can tell the people
of Key West different.
Il lived in San Pedro over
eight months recently and paid
SIS a month just for rent. Gas
and electricity was extra. And
as for rents being cheaper in
Long Beach, that isn't so-for
have friend who has an apart
ment there, not as comfortable
as mine, and she is paying $50 a
month, with gas and electric
lights extra.
"P1 admit that fruits and
vegetables are cheaper there, but
they grow them, and they should
be cheaper. The groceries, how
ever, l found higher than in Key
West. Clothing is just about as
cheap. Electricity was cheaper
on the west coast, also gas, but
they have natural gas which
makes the cost lower.
eff the navy personnel goes to
Norfolk they'll find rents much
higher than here. In Annapolis
I paid S28 month for one bed
room and kitchen. If they are
lucky enough TO find a place for
$50 a month. it's so far from the
Navy Yard that it takes the men
IS minutes or more to reach
their work. In Key West one can
walk most anyplace you want to
60.
Key West is much better than
lots of other places I have been.
