Sorry couldn't find one of the actual #67 in Gopher history.

Also not many good pics available that I could find of #6...had to improvise.

Still looking for the one of him coming around the corner looking for a CB or SS to flatten. That hit on the Maroney TD against Michigan was my favorite hit from him ever...the one below was a frequent look to defenses.

Not sure how long Brown wore #61...but here it is. He wore #69 for most of his time at the U.

Also, a good excuse to put our 2 Outland Trophy winners on the same post!
 



I dig the action pictures, but I also really appreciate the unique pics you find like the helmet and pennant! I can't imagine how much work you have to put in to find and post all of these - it's fun to watch and appreciated!

Go Gophers!!

Sheldon Beise
60sheldonbeise.jpg




One of the finest blocking backs of his time, Sheldon Beise helped open holes for All-American halfback Francis “Pug” Lund and a Golden Gopher rushing attack that averaged 295 yards and 33.7 points per game in 1934 en route to winning the school’s first national championship. Beise was one of eight different Gophers to rush for a touchdown that season. He went on to score nine touchdowns in 1935, helping the Gophers to the second of three consecutive national titles. During Beise’s three years of play, the Golden Gophers never lost a football game.

Following the 1935 season, Beise was described as the “kingpin of what was probably the strongest backfield in the country.” He was named to four All-American first teams and six All-American alternate or second teams behind two-time All-American Bobby Grayson of Stanford. In announcing the NEA Service All-American first team, Bernie Bierman made special note of his disappointment that Beise was not selected to that first team saying: “A coach is mighty proud of all his boys. But I do believe that Beise belongs in anyone’s all-star lineup. He is one of the finest fullbacks that I have ever coached. This was his best season. He has as much drive on line bucks as any fullback I have ever seen and was equally capable when blocking or on defense.”

Recognition of the Mound native’s brilliant play was not lost on those who selected All-Midwest and All-Conference Teams. He was a three-time All Conference selection and was named to all 1935 mid-western first teams. In 1935, Beise was selected to have his picture appear on the Wheaties box. He completed his college playing career as a starter in the 1936 College All-Star Game and East-West Shrine Game.

Following his playing career, Beise joined the college coaching ranks, spending time at Holy Cross and St. Thomas and three separate stints as an assistant coach at Minnesota. A car accident took Beise’s life in 1960.

Cal Stoll wore number 59 when he played for the Gophers from 1949-50.
He also coached the Gophers from 1972-1978. Here he is with Tony Dungy.

Working ahead a little bit. I have a family event this weekend.

Lamanzer Williams...one of the most surprising All-Americans the Gophers have produced recently. Great player. We could use another player like that this year...heck every year.
