Day #25 - Dale Burnett
Card #25 in the Chicle set is Dale Burnett. It is the first of 12 short prints in the 1935 National Chicle set.
Dale Burnett attended Emporia State University where he was named all-conference in both football and basketball for two seasons. He was also a star hurdler on the track team. Captain of both the football and basketball teams, he earned 12 varsity letters at Emporia. Burnett was drafted by the New Year Giants in 1930 and played 10 seasons with them. He was an All-Pro one season and played on two NFL Championship teams with the Giants (1934 and 1938). On offense he played running back and wide receiver while serving as a defense back on the other side of the ball. Burnett is inducted into the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame. There is a book written about him entitled, "The Gentleman Giant: The Life and Times of NFL Giant Star Dale Burnett and His Kansas Roots" burnett35front.jpg burnett35back.jpg jeff
