MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 3.-The old
football master. 1t. Col. Bernie Bier
man, came back home today to
teach his star pupil, DR.. George
Hauser. one more lesson, but 1t was
only by the narrowest of margins
that he did so as the Iowa Seahawks
triumphed over Minnesota, to 6,
before d crowd of 1880.
In fact. the teaching lesson was
almost reversed when the Gophers
carried the ball to the l in the last
minute, but a tumble ended the
drive there and Minnesotas con-
secutive win streak of Is was snap
ped. Minnesota's last defeat was
the next to the last game of the
1889 season.
While the Gopher victory string
was ended, Bierman's personal vic
tory record went up one notch to
20 straight. He engineered Min
nesota through its 17-straight rec
ord up to this year and his Seahawks
have won ali three of their games
this year. Bierman left the Gophers
last winter to enter the marines
and was assigned to the pre-fight
training school at Iowa City.

The last-minute bid OF the de-
Tending national champions was an
heroic individual try by Bill Daley,
who scored the Gophers' only touch
down. Trying pass on his 4O-yard
line, Daley apparently was smeared,
but shook loose and with his team
mates blocking brilliantly, angled
across tire field.
A touchdown appeared certain,
but with only a step to 60, Dick
Fisher knocked him out of bounds
on the
Then a former Gopher, Gene
Flick, upset Minnesotas apple cart
He charged headlong into Vic Kul-
bltskl, Gopher fullback, as he came
into the line, and the latter fumbled
with the Seahawks recovering.
Thus ended the last threat of the
Gophers, who clearly dominated
play in the second half, in which
they racked up nine first downs to
two for the Iowans and had a net
yardage Of l53 yards to only IS for
the Seahawks.
All the scoring was done in the
flrst period. Daley put the Gophers
into the lead with a 54-yard touch
down run on double lateral, but
Kulbitski failed In the try for the
extra point.
Scores With 36-Yard Run.
An error OF judgment set up the
Seahawks touchdown. An Iowa
punt was caught by Herman Frickey,
right half, on the 8 when it ap-
peared certain to go into the end
zone and he was downed on the 2.
The Gophers punted to Fisher,
who took the ball on the Minnesota
36, angled across field until his in
reference formed and went the full
distance for touchdown. Fred Gage
kicked the winning point
Minnesota outclassed the Sea-
hawks in almost every department,
scoring 13 first downs to nine for
the visitors, gaining 278 yards net to
LOT and completing four passes for
u yards to four and 43 yards for the
Seahawks.
The champions played the entire
game without their first string
quarterback, Bill Garnaas, who had
an injured leg, but his sub, Bob
Sandberg, carried on brilliantly for
him, especially on defense.
Bill SchatZer, the North Central
College back who had starred in the
two previous victories of the Sea
hawks. was completely smothered by
the Gophers during the few minutes
he was in the game.
