S CORE a victory for Tech before the season’s first scrimmage— Jim Preas will be wearing the Old Gold and White this year! The prize package of all Southern prep school athletes arrived in this town this morning from Johnson City, Tenn.

And the acquisition is bound to mean a tremendous boost for the Tech backfleld, both in speed and weight. Preas is not only a football man. He is a track athlete of all-around ability, a wonderfully speedy man, a crack baseball player and a wonder at basket ball He is another Jim Thorpe, by every account. And now he is a Tech student.

Blanton will be the new golf champion of the Atlanta Ath letic Club by to-night, when the final match will have been played in the championship flight after a week of excellent golf, marked by low scores and close finishes. Yesterday Adair and C. V. Rain water met in the last of the semi- fina's to decide which should play off for the title with Blanton, who had previously put YV. R. Tichenor out of the running. The match was close and interesting, Adair winning, 3 up and 2 to play. The final match in the first flight will he 36 holes. In the second flight. Perry Adalt kept up the spectacular golf that has marked his play all through the pres ent tourney, defeating C. J. Holditch, 4 up and 3 to play, and earning the position of favorite in the finals for the cup in the second flight. Winter Alfriend kept up his con sistent winning game in the third flight and came through the final match a victor over W. C. Warren, 2 and 1, in an extremely well-played and interesting contest. The fourth flight still has one of its semi-finals unplayed, but that match and the finals should be finished be fore to-night. Advance notices of the champion ship match promise a contest worthy of a large gailery, which it probably will attract. Adair turned in the low , card in the qualifying round, with ! Blanton as next man, and unless the ' form of one or the other slips in the pinch, the match should prove the closest and best-played of the tour ney-, as well as the most important. Following is the summary of re sults up to to-day's play: First Flight (Semi-finals)—George Adair defeated C. V, Rainwater, 3 up and 2 to play: R. G. Blanton defeated W. R. Tichenor, 1 up.

Sept. 13.— The champion Crackers made it one-all with Knoxville yester day afternoon, and they were pretty lucky not to lose the second game of the series as well as the first. Gilbert Price, the sturdy left hander of Bill Smith’s clan, pitched a good game, but had nothing on Hall, the Knoxville hurler, who suffered defeat mainly because of two rank errors in the first inning, which help ed the visitors to three runs and the game—for they could not score there after. Smith and Bisland showed off in remarkable fielding Wallop handling ten chances and the sensational Bls- Iaml an even dozen without a skip, noxville put on three fast double plays, and another by the visitors made the game, for the most part, a brilliantly played affair. Harry Holland’s double in the first inning followed a couple of errors and scored two of the Crackers’ three runs. The last game of the series will be played this afternoon.
