Brilliant Pilot May Result In Big Ten Title

Opener Against Washington Saturday to Test Squad; Van Every Back.

By STEVE SNIDER

United Press Staff Correspondent (First of a Series)

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—Give Ber= nie Bierman a quarterback and he'll win another Big Ten football cham=pionship at Minnesota. There is another great squad of bruising Gophers in camp, but it needs brilliant direction, and Bierman, a past master at harnessing power, definitely is worried. He'll find out Saturday whether his present quarterback crop can carry the load of a successful title de= fense, for the Gophers open the sea= son this week-end against the Uni= versity of Washington in one of the first major intersectional games of the year. George Faust, veteran senior from Minneapolis, finally may blossom into a great pilot. In his scrime= mages this season, Faust has been an aggressive leader, a great blocker and a fair ball carrier. Failed Last Year Leadership is what counts. The Gophers fell down in this department last fall and failed in the pinches against both Nebraska and Notre Dame. Phil Bellfiori, transferred from fullback where Bierman has capa= ble battering rams in veterans Larry Buhler and Marty Christianson, had the first crack at quarter but Faust eventually pushed him out. The ends may cause Bernie a headache or two before the season is over. He lost Ray Antil and Dwight Reed off his wings last year, and coming back are only two worth consideration—John Mariucci and George Nash. Mariucci, a hard charging end, is apt to overcharge the play, but he’s the hell-for-

“Looks like we're going to have an offense,” he beamed. “Some good ones back there.” Warren Huffman, up from last vear's reserves, looks like the starting quarterback.

It's nip and tuck between Leslie Fleck and Bob Burns for the fullback assignment. Fleck's been around in other years, but Coach Ball said he just seemed to have arrived—and in a big way. Howard and Higgenbothan have been doing fast stepping and both of them, along with Wechsler, are throwing. Huffman looks like the punter. But Ball has 135-pound Forrest Risley, who averages better than 40 yards with his boots and his toe may win him a call to action. Charley Berling is a junior bid-
