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 a,t basket ball. He is another Jim Thorpe, by every account. And now he is a Tech student. Two other valuable acquisitions blew in this morning, too. Carpenter, a giant from Conyers, scaling six feet two by 196 pounds, and Churchill, a huge Texan with a bfg reputation, shared in the wel come accorded Jim Preas, and went over to the gym to be measured for their coming-out duds.

K noxville, tenn , sept, is.— 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 Bis land an even dozen without a skip noxville put on three fast double plays, and another by th»* 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.
