The Pirates had more trouble getting Breeden into camp than any other player on the roster, simply because, Oeorge Halas, coach of the Chicago Bears, wanted the Oklahoma star in a bad way, figuring he would be the logical successor to Bronko Nagur.ski. However, Breeden was awarded to the Pirates in the draft and ultimately reported to the camp in South Park, When Bill arrived Conch Blood had a galaxy of stars on hand in Tuffy Thompson, Bill Davidson and Byron Haines. He also had a scarcity of ends, so Bieeden was groomed to fill a terminal position. He soon learned what other stars have learned in the pro league, that one rarely changes his position and makes a success out of it, Then when the shakeup came along last Sunday, following the fifth successive defeat handed the Pirates, Breeden was one of the players to be released. But when Thompson and Coach Blood were injured and forced out of the lineup for an indefinite period, President Arthur Rooney re-signed the the big rangy Oklahoma star.
