Gophers Take Over Offensive Honors Chicago, Oct. 21—(I’Pl— Coach Bernie Bierman of Minnesota still knows how t > build those powerhouse foot hall teams. it took Blerman'a undefeated 1915 Golden Gophers, his first team since returning from three years of marine duty. Just one Big Ten game to take over as the top offensive machine In the conference, official Big Ton statistics disclosed today. Minnesota ripped off a total of 128 yards In opening its Big Ten ' >O*OXOII against Northwestern Saturday to pass the other eight teams ■ and tab it self ax another Bierman , Ixme-crusher. With fullback Vic Kulbltski for power, halfhacks Tommy Cates and Wayne (Red! Williams for speed and Merlin Klspo-t for sneak plays, the Gophers rolled up 277 yards by rushing to take first in > that department, which isn't unusual. ' But going a hit out of Bierman's i usual pattern of attack. Minnesota picked op 151 yards by pawing to take necond behind Purdue in that i offensive phase. The Gophers used to disdain the aerial game, prefer- • ring sheer power, but with Kls- • pert. Williams and even Kulbltski I passing from all over the field, > Bierman now has rival Big Ten I coachro guessing. And as a climax, Minnesota used i the "T” frequently against Northi western, the formation that Bierman two years ago said wouldn’t i last. • Purdue, with quarterback Boh

De Mo»a hitting nine out of 13 passes as the Boilermakers up*et Ohio State, remains the top aerial team In the conference with an average of 185 yards gained overhead in three Big Ten games. The second best ground gaining teams in the conference are Purdue and Ohio State, tied with an average 231 yards per game. The Boilermakers heat Ohio State** defending champions at their own game Saturday and thereby took over a* the strongest defense unit. O.S.U. previously was the No. 1 defender, but Purdue ripped the Buckeye eleven for 398 yard* while yielding only 250.

The Boilermakers now have given up an average of onlv 219 yards per control, while Illinois snagged the second beat rating with b 231yard average. O.S.U. has yielded 235 per game. Meanwhile, Purdue's Bill Canfield remains the most versatile back in the Big Ten. The 165pound Boilermaker halfback, in scoring twice against 0.5. U., boosted his total points to 36 to hang on to first place in the scoring race. Canfield also la the top ptwi receiver with 10 catches, the second best punter with a 13.2 average and the seventh best ground gainer with 251 yards In three games for a 5.1 average. North western's Dick Conners, unshackled by Minnesota's line Saturday. remains the Big Ten's No. 1 runner with 308 yards In three games for an 8.0 average. Indiana's George Taliaferro technically rates as the top passer with seven completions In 11 attempts for a .636 percentage. But Purdue's rifle-arm, Bob de Moss, has completed 19 out of 32 for 219 yard*i gained and a .591 average. De Mims's pitches have gained 200 more yards for Purdue than Taliaferro's passes have for Indiana.

Hits Gates Failure I To Call Assembly Politics Played By Governor Assailed Indin nn polio, Oct. 23 (UP) The Indiana Democratic central committee wondered today why Re-1 publican Governor Gates had been silent on the question of calling t a pedal session of Hie state leglxla-! ture. In a prepared statement, state chairman Fred F. Haya asked If the governor’s failure to isoue an assembly call was because “he has given so many state jobs to He publican member* of the legisla- ! ture. for voting him a place to live I In, that he feels he will not have a quorum should they meet." The 1945 regular se.mioti of the Indiana general assembly passed a bill authorizing the purchase of a new gu’iernatorlai mansion. Bays said that Gates had repeatedly said in the newepapeis that he would call a special Mfr shut of the legislature to consider current and future problems. The Democratic chairman added that "numerous groups" over the ] sjute had urged a special session to "take care of thp problem* that threaten the happlMM and prosperity of the state.” , I "Could it be that the governor Is dodging the issue of llbertillza tlon?" Bays asked. "Is he embar- , rassed by the fact that the ads of the last legislature have not been pnblkhed and that the citizens of the rttate are still Ignorant as to their contents’" "Is his coneclence bothering him alsiut killing the itoldlera boi nus bill and the bill to give the re- • turning veterans their state Jobs ■ back and the bill to give the veti erans preference In «tate Job apI pointments?” Bay* asked.
