DAN POLLEN AF
1ER PROMOTION
Dan Pulien, the Skagway boy who
has made himself famous in the ath
letic and college world, still contin
ues to advance, and from his pres
ent place ol second lieutenant he is
headed for a first lieutenancy, and
then those who know Pan prophesy
that soon a captaincy and so on to
the top of the service will be attain
ed by him. Our readers will be
pleased to read the following ac
counts of Dan's career which was
printed in the Seattle Times of Dec.
6th:
Lieut. I.aniel Dee Pullen, U. S.
A , arrived in Seattle last night and
immediately the tom-toms were
pounded by Secretary McLean for a
leathering of the "Fee Gee" clan.
Lieutenaut Pullen is on his way
to San Francisco to stand an exam
ination for first lieutenant. He will
;>ass, of course; that's a habit Dan
has. After he gets his raise in
rating and pay he will locate at
Vancouver Harraoks, on the banks cfl
the Columbia, and do a lot of en
gineering for the government.
Dan Pullen is one of the best
known athletes ever turned out at
the University of Washington. He
was also one of the best students
He graduated number nine in his
class at West Point in 1910, and
that s going some. The topnotcliers
from the Point usually go Into the
engineers, and that'8 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
ers McLean, Dode Hrinker and Billy
Burwell 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."
Pullen Is the first man to be ap
pointed to West Point from Alaska
He entered West Point in 1906, af
ter making a great record in ath
letics at the University of Washing
ton, and his friends have followed
his career with interest ever since
Pullen wa3 one of the greatest foot
ball players who ever wore the
colors of Washington. He could not
ruii with the ball and he was no
speed marvel on his feet, but he
was one roaring, tearing, fighting
Irishman in the line and wherever
there was turmoil during a game
Pullen was in the thick of It, his
red thatch shining like a danger
signal. And, speaking of hair, Dan

Dan started in as a guard and
was later moved out to tackle. In
one game against Multnomah he
played an end and the scraps he
had with Pete Overfield, once an
ail-American center for Pennsylvan
ia, but who is now a United States
judge in Alaska, are still recalled
with satisfaction.
Dan was not only a bear on the
gridiron, but he was a crack oars
man and pulled in rthe 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
ball the first year he was at the
academy. Me had played In harder
Kanies of football out here before
ever going East than he ever mlied
in afterward, and as he was a well
trained 1 90-pounder, 21 years old,
when he went back there, he was at
once recognized as the real thing.
Walter Camp mentioned him for the
all-American team, but he wax
kept out of the Yale game because
of a bad knee.
tie was captain of his team one
year and since that time he ha?
been called back regularly to
coach, which shows that his ability
is recognized. Washington has
good reason to be proud of Dan Pul
