PAGE EIGHTEEN THE JOURNAL-STANDARD, FREEPORT, ILLINOIS PHONE XOOO Old Fashioned Bierman Headed For Rose Bowl BY CAUL LUNDQUIST United Press Sports Writer New York, Oct. as old fashioned as a handle-bar moustache, but he has that horse and buggy football team of his galloping in a bee-line toward the Rose Bowl. For awhile he fooled around with that new-fangled T-formation but "after looking at a lot of that fancy stuff we just decided to go back and run 'em through tackle like we always did." He's the United Press coach of the week, stern Bernie Bierman of Minnesota's Golden Gophers, who met their toughest test with colors flying, beating Ohio State soundly, 27 to 0. Back On Top Bierman, whose deep freeze personality goes nicely with Minnesota's rigorous climate, is a homegrown white-haired veteran of a fellow now battling his way back to the top after some postwar years of frustration and disappointment. The Gophers, only perfect record team left in the Big Ten, had to beat Ohio State to retain their rank as best bet for the Rose Bowl game, and they did it going away.

Typically, and most truthfully because that is the way his boys are trained, Bierman described it as "a team I wouldn't single out any player as the best in the game." A master belittler, Bierman then promptly added that "this present team hasn't shown me as much stuff as our national champions of 1941. Same Game "Yes, I still teach about the same kind of football I've always taught," he said. "Naturally, there's been some evolution but it has been very gradual." Then he came face to face with a very touchy Rose Bowl. Minnesota's faculty strongly disapproves of that or any other post-season game, and Bierman himself has never been enthusiastic about extension of the season because with the school's rigid academic program the boys need all the time they can get in the class room. "I dont care to answer any questions as to whether I really want to take my team to the Rose Bowl," he said.

"But as far as President James Morrlll is concerned, if we win the Big Ten title I don't think he would object to our going out there." Michigan Next Bierman right now is worried about catching Michigan's once- wondrous Wolverines on the rebound when they meet Saturday at Ann Arbor. Michigan bumped off successively by Army and Northwestern, hasn't lost three In a row since 1937, and Bierman thinks that Is a bad omen. Not necessarily on the basis of their showing Saturday, Bierman said that two of his linemen, Center Clayton Tonnemaker and All- America Tackle Leo Nomellini "rank with the greatest players I ever coached."
