INJECTION of football cap
tains for the 1928 gridiron
campaigns discloses an un-
usual preponderance of linemeu

selecting new leaders, a list Of
thirty-eight, embracing the South,
East and Middle West, shows
twsnty-seven linesmen and twelve
backs elected.
Among the linesmen guards
were most frequently chosen, the
list revealing eleven playing that
position. Eight tackles, four CEN
tiers and four ends completed the
choice from the front line ranks.
Only two .quarterbacks were
among the eleven backfield men Sc
lected. a fact which emphasizes q
further dissipation Of the old ides
that the quarterback should be the
actual as well as the nominal field
general.

The "Game Chicken" didn't care
Just how he fought. Rough and
ready, he tore in after his oppo-
nents in the same belligerent man.
ner as the battling fowl from
which he took his title. The
"Game Chicken" would jump at
his opponent and try to knock him
over before the latter could get
set. He wouldn't mind kicking an
ankle or two, and for wrestling
tactics he was in a class by him.
self. He always created a deadly
fear in his favor when he faced off
in the ring, and whipped many
opponents by his preliminary
stuff.
FEARED BY FIGHTERS.
Despite the fact that the "Game
Chicken" was feared by all fight
ers Of his time. he didn't think he
was q transgressor SO far as rules
were concerned. He believed that
to win a fight it was necessary to
make an opponent helpless as
quickly as possible, no matter
how the deed was done. That
system was his Bible. His tactics
were so rough that the "Game
Chicken" was always fighting, in
and out Of the ring. The follow
ers of his many opponents didn't
hesitate to attack him at the first
opportunity, but in all these free
for-alls the "Game Chicken" gave
q good account of himself.
A remarkable feature about this
ring character was that he was an
idol with most of the fighting fra
ternity. In many respects he bore
a striking resemblance to Napo-
leon, and like the warrior of old,
was q born battler. While the
compatriots Of the "Game Chick
en-" hated Napoleon, they didn't
The Washington herald., 1922-12-14

hesitate to admire him for his
fighting spirit. 1t was along the
same lines that they worshipped
the Game Chicken though he
wasn't without a few enemies who
tried at times to hurt him seri-
ously.
NOTED FOR CHARITY.
Pearce was noted for being
charitable. In a few Of his fights
he didn't hesitate 10 give his share
away to some poor family and did
it in a way that showed his heart
was real. If he ever heard Of
some friend being attacked the
"Game Chicken" Immediately
went on the warpath and never
stopped until he evened up the
score. There are records that
prove he was courageous, for IN
one big fire he rushed into the
flames and came out with two lit
tie tots. He was badly burned,
but after q long rest resumed his
trade of fighting. In his career
he was never beaten.
The fighter Of today doesn't 20
out as the "Game Chicken" did
seeking battle. In fact, when II
heads his way on the street the
wise fighter sidesteps the fray,
He does this for two reasons: The
first is that he would lose his
standing if it were known he took
part in a street brawl, for all the
odium would be cast upon him
The second is that he might ge,
injured SO badly it would enc
abruptly his career, which now
means plenty of money. The ring
today teaches control and common
sense, which were sadly lacking
in the days of the rough sport.
