The old man can still play

Ruth Fairbanks, features

Dash Bierstadt TE
Timberjacks

Dash Bierstadt is 36 and averaging 9.3 a week. He reads Durable, which is most of the explanation.

541 yards over his first season. Four touchdowns. Fourteen games.

Auckland, New Zealand is where he is from. He is thirty-six. Ask anybody: he is the first man in the building most mornings. He was drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take.

Timberjacks are 7-6-1 through fifteen weeks. Art Deco is new. He is out of contract after this.

Has never once been photographed smiling on a sideline.

This feature ran in the paper in week 15 of 1977. The rest of the season is there too.
