Coach Wr Writes

On Minnesota's Chances in "41

This is the first in a series of personal surveys written by Big Ten football coaches.

By BERNIE BIERMAN Universg of Minnesota Football Coach (Written for The United Press)

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 15.—

gazers, who have been picking Minnesota to repeat in the Big Ten and the nation in 1941, will .gather round for a moment, I'll give them my opinion of the current Gophers: Fellows, thanks for all the swell; adjectives you've directed our way. I hope they will apply when the schedule has been played. I agree with you that we should have a good team—at least. it shouldn’t be a bad one. I can see where it nearly can be equal in ability to last year's champions, but that wouldn't necessarily mean another title. For example: By Narrow Margin In 1940, the Gophers won two games by the narrow margin of a placekick contributed by a player who is not likely to be with us this season. . In addition, the team came from behind to win six of the eight games and won only two by the margin of more than one touchdown, You'll agree, I am sure, that the

Gold Medal, Like the Yanks,

Socks Those Home Runs

The Gold Medal Beers, Indianapolis’ new amateur baseball champions, have something in common with the New York Yankees—that

is an ability to sock home runs. The Gold Medals rolled out their big artillery yesterday, connected for three round trippers and scored a 3-2 victory over the Falls City Hi-Brus to finish the city series undefeated. : The day before, however, the 5. Gold Medals were forced to play * a tighter style of ball, but they manfactured six runs from seven hits to eliminate P. R. Mallory, 6-4. - Falls City pushed over a pair of

runs in the first inning yesterday, but Babe Drissell of the Medals slammed a homer in the second and Ralph Gatti tied the score with another in the seventh. Norm Beplay socked the game-winning home run in the ninth for the Municipal League champions. The lack of a clutch hitter was costly to Mallory on Saturday. The Mallory boys pounded pitchers Henry Bergfield and Hop Howard for 13 safeties but had 11 men stranded. Mallory also failed to tally with the bases loaded and none out in the ninth. Bergfield helped himself by knocking a home run in the fourth inning.

Course Kings ‘Are Crowned

Week-end firing produced 1941 club champions at three of the city’s golf courses. Young Wedmore Smith became the Pleasant Run champion by turning the tables on veteran Clark Espie and winning 2 and 1. Just eight years ago Espie defeated|c Smith in a club match, 10 and 8. Espie had a one-up lead as the two went to lunch, but he was the victim of Smith's sub-par firing in the afternoon. At Indian Lake Jay Anson scored 8 one-up victory in 22 holes to win the crown from George MCcAvin. ‘The women’s championship was won by Jo Gray, who defeated Kathlyn Cattrell, 4 and 3. Larry Burton took the Lake Shore crown by virtue of a 5-and-4 victory over Dick Byland in a scheduled 36-hole duel. Lois Bond's medal 90 was gooi for the ladies’ crown, a 2 2 After a year’s absence, the Shamrock club today was back as C.Y.

Solo honors went to Boyle, who fired a 75,

breaks might go another way a second tim r that the team might not come back one of those times it was behind. To be analytical, here are the [2S reasons why I am hoping that the Gophers will be a good team: Included in our 23 returning lettermen are six players who were regulars during the undefeated 1940 season plus another six who had a second string status. Those regulars are Bob Fitch at end, Urban Odson and Dick Wilding at tackle, Helge Pukema at guard, Capt. Bruce Smith at left half and Bob Sweiger at fullback. The line from tackle to tackle has some potentialities. @Odson and Wildung should play a good game at tackle. The line reserves are promising. One Great Back Finally, we have a few outstanding backs led by Bruce Smith, who is a proven performer in every backfield department. In this item, however, lies one of our principal reasons for concern. . The halfbacks may have quality, but they are short on quantity. Besides Smith, we have only one letterman halfback, Gene Bierhaus, a junior of limited experience. We lost George Franck and Bob Paffrath by graduation. I haven't

34 vet seen anyone who has shown

promise of being able to step into their shoes. . The schedule, beginning with Washington and running on down the line through Illinois, Pittsburgh, Michigan, Northwestern, Nebraska, 7 [Towa and Wisconsin, is a tough one, So you see, we have our problems up here at Minnesota. They are the kind that could cause trouble for the best of teams. I am hoping along with the rest of them that we’ll win ’em all. But we will concentrate on winning them one at a time for/we are about in the same situation as any other team in the

dianapolis yesterday. No accident or near-mishap marred the afternoon program but the thrill-hunters found lots to scream and shout about

speeding made its re-entry to In-

as the gasoline buggies slid hub-to-hub around the bends.

Speedway Kings

A big share of the prize money was taken away by the Speedway drivers who have been touring th dirt circuit this summer. In Toor the first four finishers in the 25mile feature event all were familiar

figures to the patrons at the ‘brick :

halo of haste. Duke Nalon, in the pole position by virtue of his fast qualifying time, went right to the front and remained there for the entire race, while George Connors kept his sixcylinder mount in second place after the ninth lap, when motor trou-

ble forced Paul Russo into the;

its. P The Speedway co-winner, Mauri Rose, drove to third place, and rapid Rex Mays, the guy all the gals cheer for, finished fourth. Nalon won $600 for this bit of leadfooting, while Connors took $375. Rose won $275 and Mays $175.

The Heavy Cars

Rose, Connors and Mays, along with Snowberger, brought out the same cars they use on the bricks for-their special 12-mile match race and gave the fans a taste of what they'd see at a 100-mile speed event. It developed into a duel between Mays and Rose, with the latter leading for the first seven laps, although Mays twice held temporary command. Mauri whipped back into front on the ninth and 10th miles, but Mays won a backstretch argument and rolled home in front. Connors finished third, right behind the two leaders. Speeds of better-than-80-miles-an-hour were shown in both feature races. It took Nalon just 17 min-

utes 59.61 seconds for his 25 miles—|.

which figures out at 83.33 miles an hour. Mays hurtled through the 12 laps in 8:59.64—a speed of 80.35.

Sprint Races

The main events were preceded by four 10-lap sprint races, with the contestants assigned according to qualifying times Nalon won the first race for the fastest cars at a speed of 8479, while Bill Holland of White Plains, N. Y. finished second, and Rose was third. Tony Willman of Milwaukee, whose qualifying speed of 93.92 was the afternoon’s best, was forced out of this preliminary race because of a broken crankshaft, and he was unable to return to the dirt. In the second 10-mile sprint, Tony Bettenhausen, sensational dirt driver of the East, and Steve Truchan of Gary, Ind, staged a hub-to-hub finish, with the latter winning. Mays finished third, The winner showed a speed of 83.0% miles an hour. Bus Warke of Allentown, Pa.
