  	"FORMER TEXAS-ARLINGTON COACH BEARDEN DIES FROM HEART FAILURE MANSFIELD, Texas - Burley Bearden, whose Texas-Arlington football team won the NCAA Division II title in 1967, has died of congestive heart failure. He was 79. Bearden, who died Saturday, was on the Texas-Arlington coaching staff for 25 years, starting in 1946 as defensive coordinator for the Rebels of what was then the two-year North Texas Agricultural College. While defensive coordinator, the Rebels won the National Junior College Championship with victories in the Junior Rose Bowl in 1956 and 1957. In 1966, after the school had become the four-year Arlington State College, Bearden became head coach and led the team to a Southland Conference co-championship. The next season, the now-Texas-Arlington Rebels won the conference title and beat North Dakota State in the Pecan Bowl for the Division II title. After stepping down in 1970, he served as the Southland Conference commissioner of officials and a Texas-Arlington physical education instructor from 1972 until his retirement in 1982. Texas-Arlington changed its athletic nickname to the Mavericks in the early 1970s and dropped football in the early 1980s. A funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday at St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church in Arlington, with burial in Moore Memorial Gardens in Arlington. Survivors include a son,... ; a daughter,...; and four grandchildren. Published in South Bend Tribune (IN) - Monday, January 20, 1997, and provided by Cheryl Bearden Fenters
