school, Chicago. 1t is said that be-
fore entering Brown Pollard went up
and looked around Dartmouth. where
his brother had played football some
years ago. His mind was not made
up ON what school he would attend.
although he had decided that it would
be either Dartmouth or Brown. He
finally decided on Brown, much to the
sorrow Of Yale and Harvard men, not
to mention the sons Of various other
colleges.
There is no hint that Pollard came
to Brown through any persuasion be-
cause Of his athletic ability. and this
is said because sometimes there have
been hints of proselytizing In the case
of other star athletes. Sure enough
he played scholastic football. and play
ed well, for three years while a stu
dent in Lane Tech. but he was not an
outstanding star. He came to Brown
unknown and made no tam of even
trying for the football team.
As a matter Of fact, none Of the
coaches or men interested in football
up at the Providence university knew
that the quiet young colored boy knew
anything about football. They did
know that in his spare time he used
to come out and watch the practice:
but, then. pretty nearly every other
student does the same thing.
The 6rst inkling the coaches had that
he knew anything about the game was
last year. q month after the practice
season had started. One day Pollard
came out to the field and asked the
head coach II he might don a uniform
and come out for practice. The coach
asked Pollard II he had ever played
the game. and Pollard told Of his high
school experience. As result Pollard
came out that day and every day there
after and finished the season as one Of
the stars of the team.
It is not all football and hurrah for
Pollard. With him it Is q case of drop
ping the natiron to be dropped on the
Rridiron. You see, Pollard is working
his way through college and earns the
money for his expenses by running q
little tailor shop. The work keeps him
pretty busy. and now he has another
colored student helping him. OF course
1t may be that his business has grown
through his prowess as football play
er, for who would not have his trousers
presead by a man who in weeks time
can press both Yale and Harvard into
the natness Of defeat?

When the 1916 football season has
drifted into the easily dimmed and

athlete who must be hailed as the peer

inches in the football hall of fame.
Fred d. Pollard, dusky skinned
young American, halfback on the
Brown team and particularly bright
luminary of the Brunonian eleven, is
the man. Practically single handed
