that's going some. The topnotchers from the Point usually go into the engineers, and that's where Dan landed. Since his graduation he has helped build the Panama Canal and he said last night that it was quite a ditch.
 Just recently Dan was at West Point helping coach the football team. which was beaten by the Navy at Philadelphia last Saturday. Right after that game Dan packed his duds and started for Seattle. He says the Navy had it on the Army in weight and experience and they also had a man who could kick as well as the Army's best booter, so there was really not much chance for the Army to win.
 Dan was greeted by Frat" Broth CTS Mclean, Dode Brinker and Billy Burweu last night and by others who do not belong to that organiza- tion. He will visit in Seattle a couple of days and then pull out for San Francisco to take the exam

PuUen was one of the greatest foot ball players who ever wore the colors of Washington. He could not run with the ball and he was no speed marvel on his feet, but he was one roaring, tearing, fighting Irishmau in the line and wherever there was turmoil during a game PuIlen was in the thick of it, his red thatch shining like danger signal.

 Dan started in as a guard and was later moved out to tackle. In one game against Mulnomah he played an end and the scraps he had with Pete Overfield, once an center for Pennsylyan- ia, but who is now United States judge in Alaska, are still recalled with satisfaction.
 Dan was not only a bear on the gridirou. but he was a crack oars man and pulled in ythe first crew that Washington put on the water. In those days Jim Knight not only turned out winning football teams, but he turned out crews that won their races, and Dan was one of the boys who did the work for him.
 After he went to West Point Dan took up other branches of athletics and got to be a pretty fair boxer. He was also one of the best broad swordsmen at the academy. He jumped right to the front in foot

Walter Camp mentioned him for the aII-Americau team, but he was kept out of the Yale game because of a bad knee.
 He was captain of his team one year and since that time he has been called back regularly to coach, which shows that his ability is recognized. Washington has good reason to be proud of Dan Pull len.
