Page 61 of the 1921 Arbutus yearbook. " 'Babe' Pierce's last year was his greatest. It will be many another season before there comes to Indiana University a varsity football center of the size and calibre of Pierce. For four years he has been a line bastion. Combined with his tremendous weight, he possessed speed and savage tackling. He became invincible toward the close of the season, and was a wonder at roving center in the Notre Dame and Purdue games. He outclassed all other centers in the state last season." jhp03 ~ P0051943 . |
Page 92 of the 1921 Arbutus yearbook. "When James H. Pierce, commonly known as 'Babe', graduated, the University lost one of its most consistent point getters on the track team. During the 1920 spring season Pierce hurled the discus in good form. He was a veritable Greek in the art of casting the disc. In the 1920 spring season Pierce shattered all former records by throwing the discus 132 feet 6 inches. In practice he went above this mark and made several heaves of 145 feet. Pierce competed for two years on the varsity track squad and was a sure getter each year." jhp01 ~ P0051944 |

"...Piece and Jess Lorhei both won their letters at center...last season. They are both playing their last year...this fall, and will alternate in the games as they did last fall. Lohrei is big and fast and heady... Pierce is the giant of the team, weighing in the neighborhood of 220 pounds and standing six feet and four inches in height. His great size and fighting qualities rank him as a line bulwark. His offensive drive is tremendous. He always places the ball in the immediate vicinity of the opposing goal line at the kick-off..." jhp14 ~ P0051974 |
