| Adept Performer on His Squad, Gets 2 Hits ‘EVEN in the heat of summer the football drums are

Lieut.-Col. Bernie Bierman, the Minnesota grid wizard, is head coach at Towa City. . . . The lineup—even the squad—cannot be predicted before the season starts, but one certain factor is that Bierman _ usually comes up With a rugged, hard-fighting eleven. . . . It was that “way down through the years in his collegiate coaching career. . . . The Iowa City pre-flight school team will be known as the Seahawks. . . . The cadets will make" two appearances in the Hoosier state, playing at § Notre Dame Oct. 17 and at Indiana Oct. 31. , .. : . The Seahawks’ other games will be with Univer"sity of Kansas, Northwestern, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio State, Missouri, Nebraska, St. Mary's | ' (Cal) cadets, Georgia cadets and North Carolina oadets. 7 Lieut.-Col. Bierman will send his Seahawks : 3% against his old Minnesota Golden Gophers at | Minneapolis Oct. 3, and it’s a safe guess that the : Minnesota stadium will be packed on that date to hail the Gophers’ former grid chief! Coach Bierman Football is one of the most important sports used at Iowa City to harden cadets. . . . “Football has something more than any other " sport,” says Lieut.-Col, Bierman. “Every football game is a miniature campaign. A team on attack launches a blitzkrieg just like a modern panzer force. It has to be prepared for surpiises, sudden strategies and overwhelming power. That is what football is and what makes it, in my opinion, the greatest of all combat sports.” ‘Assisting Head Coach Bierman when grid. practice starts at Iowa City will be Lieuts. Phil Bengston and Dallas Ward of Minnesota, Don Heap of Northwestern and Trevor Rees of Ohio State. . .. As “ goach of Minnesota's Gophers before the war, Marine Lieut.Col. Bierman led his team to four national championships.

By JACK GUENTHER United Press Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND, July 8.—Participants in baseball’s second big war benefit show—the first major league-service squad all-star game—scattered today, and whether they merely headed for home or departed for duty at far-flung military outposts or ships at sea they were in complete agreement on one major point. . . That was—the American league is still the tops. - For once again an all-star game| ‘® Me produced the old, familiar story: a SERVICEMEN story of power proving more than a x match for precision.

Make ’Em Tough, Says Lieut. Dempsey

FROM THE COLUMNS of the Cleveland Press prior to last ‘ night's “big game” there between the United Service nine and the American league all-stars: “A man can’t fight unless he’s physically fit. He has to be tough. He must be able to stay on the defensive and never let his opponent get the jump on him.” The speaker was Lieut. Jack! Dempsey of the United States coast ” guard and his words were the creed of Jack Dempsey, the old

Manassa mauler and former heavyweight champion of the world. 1t will be his gospel again as he discharges his duties as chief of the “mass production” program which he is setting up in the coast guard. “When I was fighting, I always made it my business to beat the
