Barnes joined the Golden Gophers in 1986 and was with the Maroon and Gold until1988 when he left to become head coach and director of athletics at Albion High School in Michigan. He registered an impressive 65-11 overall record in three seasons at Albion, including earning runnerup honors in the 1991 Michigan State Class B Basketball Tournament. Barnes rejoined the Golden Gophers in the fall of 1991 and has been Head Coach Clem Haskins' top assistant for three-plus seasons. "Milton Barnes is one of the top young basketball coaches in the country," said Haskins. "He will help take some of the administrative pressure off of me and will be in charge of the team in my absence. He did an outstanding job over the summer when I took the USA Junior Team to Argentina. As I pursue similar opportunities, I will sleep better knowing Milton is taking care of business with·the Golden Gophers." Barnes has been a basketball coach for 14 years and had stints at Eastern Michigan, Detroit, Kent State and Albion College before coming to Gold Country. "With Coach Haskins' success with the U.S. Junior Team last summer and anticipated future involvement with USA Basketball, as well as an increased role in the management of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, I felt that it was important to address administrative responsibilities when Coach Haskins is not on campus," said Director of Men's Athletics Dr. McKinley Boston. Milt's new responsibilities will ensure a high level of continued communication with the athletic office." · UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA • JEW§ Bierman Field Athletic Building 516 15th A venue Southeast Minneapolis, MN 55455 (612) 625-4090 Fax 625-0359 For Immediate Release Nov. 4, 1994 CHALBERG NAMED A SEMIFINALIST FOR LOU GROZA AWARD University of Minnesota junior Mike Chalberg has been named a semifinalist for the 1994 Lou Groza A ward which honors the top collegiate placekicker in the nation.

  • Nagurski's Debut and Rockne's Lesson
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 20, No. 3 (1998) NAGURSKI’S DEBUT AND ROCKNE’S LESSON Pro Football in 1930 By Bob Carroll For years it was said that George Halas and Dutch Sternaman, the Chicago Bears’ co-owners and co- coaches, always took opposite sides in every minor argument at league meetings but presented a united front whenever anything major was on the table. But, by 1929, their bickering had spread from league politics to how their own team was to be directed. The absence of a united front between its leaders split the team. The result was the worst year in the Bears’ short history -- 4-9-2, underscored by a humiliating 40-6 loss to the crosstown Cardinals. A change was necessary. Neither Halas nor Sternaman was willing to let the other take charge, and so, in the best tradition of Solomon, they resolved their differences by agreeing that neither would coach the team. In effect, they fired themselves, vowing to attend to their front office knitting. A few years later, Sternaman would sell his interest to Halas and leave pro football for good. Halas would go on and on. Halas and Sternaman chose Ralph Jones, the head man at Lake Forest (IL) Academy, as the Bears’ new coach. Jones had faith in the T-formation, the attack mode the Bears had used since they began as the Decatur Staleys. While other pro teams lined up in more modern formations like the single wing, double wing, or Notre Dame box, the Bears under Jones continued to use their basic T.

  • The First Pro Bowl Game
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 12, No. 4 (1990) The First Pro Bowl Game by Fred R. Crawford The game was conceived by George P. Marshall, the Washington Redskins owner, and sponsored by the Los Angeles Times Charities. Pitting the league champion New York Giants against a collection of the NFL’s finest and five members from two independent Pacific coast teams was a novel idea. Played on January 15, 1939, in old Wrigley Field, a baseball park, before a crowd of an estimated 20,000 fans (30,000 had been expected but with poor weather conditions attendance was low). The game was typical of football in the 1930’s, punting on third down, scoring teams receiving the following kickoff, and a few breaks deciding the outcome of the game. The teams struggled between the 30-yard lines for most of the first quarter. Early in the second quarter Giant fullback John (Bull) Karcis intercepted a Cecil Isbell pass on the All-Star 35-yard line and returned it to the All-Star 13. Two running plays and an incomplete pass forced the Giants into settling for a 19-yard field goal by Len Barnum. Giants 3 All-Stars 0. Late in the second quarter the All-Stars started a drive from their own 35 yard line with Ed Goddard running and passing along with John Drake's running, the All-Stars worked the ball to the Giants 19 yard line. Three plays failed to gain yardage and Ernie Smith kicked a 25-yard field goal with 29 seconds left in the half.

  • Nathaniel Withdraws from Basketball Team to Pursue Employment Opportunity
    UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA lEW§ Bierman Field Athletic Building 516 15th Avenue Southeast Minneapolis, i\ 5455 (612) 625-4090 Fax 625-0359 For Immediate Release Dec. 4, 1999 NATHANIEL WITHDRAWS FROM BASKETBALL TEAM TO PURSUE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY Junior guard Kevin Nathaniel has decided to withdraw from the Golden Gopher basketball team and pursue an employment opportunity. Nathaniel has missed the first five games of the season with a foot injury. A starter in 22 games last season, Nathaniel came to Minnesota from the Air Force where he was a canine specialist and military police officer. The employment opportunity is at a school in Illinois that specializes in this field and will allow him work and finish his college education. "I have been wrestling with this decision for a couple of weeks," said Nathaniel. "It is a great opportunity to work in a field I enjoy and have experience in and it will pay for the rest of my educational costs. It was a tough decision because I'm really like Coach Monson and the new staff and I think things are headed in the right direction. I will always remember the great experiences I had as a member of the team. The Minnesota fans are the greatest and I will really miss my teammates. In my heart I will always be a Golden Gopher." Nathaniel averaged 4.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists last seasons and was an Academic All-Big Ten selection. He posted a 4.0 GPA last spring and was named aU of M scholar athlete.

  • Coach Steve Owen: the Great Innovator
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 4 (1996) COACH STEVE OWEN: THE GREAT INNOVATOR By Stan Grosshandler, et.al. (Originally published in part in Football Digest) Professional football has advanced from a simple to complex game. To a great extent, this is due to the imaginative genius of the coaches. In the early years the innovators were George Halas, Curly Lambeau, Greasy Neale and Jimmy Conzelman. Later Paul Brown and Vince Lombardi came along. Today [ed.: 1970s] we have Tom Landry, Don Shula, Hank Stram and George Allen to mention a few. Seldom mentioned; yet one of the great innovators of all time is Steve Owen, for 23 years the guiding genius of the New York Giants. Stout Steve came up with innovations like the A-formation and the Umbrella Defense. These were not only catchy names, but effective weapons. The Giants under Owen won eight division and two league championships. What is even more remarkable about Owen is that he stressed defense when few of his contemporaries did. His kind of football began with blocking and tackling. "Football is a game played down in the dirt and it always will be. There's no use getting fancy about it." Often criticized by Giants fans as ultra-conservative, he may have been the first NFL coach to elect to kick off to start a game. He often chose to go for a sure field goal rather than gamble for a touchdown, and that further upset New York rooters. Eventually, however, the rest of the league came around to his way of thinking.
