Washington, September 30.--Ayres, a
recruit pitcher from Richmond, Va.

league game today with the Athletics
and shut them out 8 to 0. The young
star pitched fine game, striking out
IL men and giving no bases on balls.
On the other hand, Boardnan was
wild and the support behind him was
weak The champions played several
strong men again today, only one of
the regulars getting into the game.

TECH SQUAD RAPIDLY
ROUNDING INTO FORM


Reifsnder is an accurate drop kicker.
especially as he kicks with his left foot.
He cannot get the distance that Preas
can with his placement kicks. but he is
very accurate from difficult angles.
The possession of three such formid-
able kickers as Pneas, Mcdonald and
Reifsnider, with Preas and Cook to throw
forward passes, gives the Jackets a d-
versity of attack that viii make them
formidable even to the most casual on
locker
Good kickers Uncovered
Tech has not had a field goal kicker
since 1907 and has never used that kind
of an attack. With Preas and Reifsnider.
the Jackets are going to be dangerous

tory, no matter how little they may be III
it, This will make the Jackets try field
goals when team holds them for downs,
and the work to date Preas and Reif-
snider are going to make the other
schools sorry they entered Tech.
Many green men are being used at the
end positions, the only men of experience
being Lucas from last years scrubs. who
has the build but has not developed
enough; Goree last years sub, and
Cushman from McCallie school.

Trawick Has Inside Track
Trawick. 200 pounds; Murphee, 175, and
Spence. 1876, are the three candidates for
center; Loeb, the gritty little center of
last years team, and for his l55 pounds
the hest center in the south not returning
to school this season Trawick has the
inside track ON the job just now.
There are several good men on the
scrubs men, who if it We're not for the
one-year eligibility rule would force some
of the varsity men Of tile squad And
the possession of such good men on the
scrubs is something Tech has never had
before Usually all the good material is
used up for the regular team. But the
scrubs fight the varsity to d standstill
in scrimmage. and in two afternoons
scored against them.
Techs prospects really hinge on the
ability of the new men to learn and play
the Heisman system. The material is ex-
cellent, heavy and fast. but with only four
veterans on hand, and all the new ma
terial of about equal strength, Heisman
has a time sorting out the best combna-
tion.
But unless present signs fail, Tech Is
going to make a great bid for premier
honors this season.

II our support should become necessary
to enable one of our members to carry
out contract which he has had a per
feet right to enter inter and which an
other has entered into with him in good
faith, we would back him up to the
limit .,
Fultz characterized as absurd all
tlak that the series would be called off
if players refused to heed the ban a gain st
their efforts. as writer's. The attitude of
the players toward the rule will be taken
up Monday when the national commission
meets here to complete arrangements for

out-rival any that has taken place at
the college during the past two seasons.
n Robinson Fixture
- the speedy little quarterback,
is o.-s the fixtures on the team. He
mas been playing a great offensive game
and is skirting the ends in splendid style
Another backfield certainty is Tisdale, of
baseball fame, who is putting up swell
game at left halfback. He Is fierce
tackler and a good ground gamer. In
fact, he Is about the best plunger on
the team.
Duke, Taylor and Garner are the only
men on the line sure of their places
Duke is filling the position of right end
and is doing it in fine manner. He is
fast on his feet and Is good on running
down punts. Taylor. the giant left guard
and Garner at right tackle, are also good
men.
A merry fight is on between Shaw.
King, Watson and Dunsmore for left
end, while Walker and Burson are hav-
ing a warm tilt for left tackle King Is
making the best showing among the end
men. while Walker stands the best show
for tackle. Burson Is being handicapped
by parental objection but Coach Moo
jim expects that this difficulty will soon
be remedied and that Burson will get
back into the fight again. Blackwelder and
Audlls Are contestants lOf f1EDI Sudfu
and Noojin will have hard job de-
Gliding between them.
Fullington Has Call
For fullback Fullington and Causey are
the leading candidates. Fullington out
weighs Causey by over 35 pounds and
this will probably give him the position.
Acton. who is out of the game suffering
from a bruised shoulder, seems to be
the most likely man for right half He
is one of the fastest men on the team
and will prove fitting running mate
for Tisdale.
The center position will most likely be
taken care of by McPhaul. He passes
the ball in fair manner and is steady
and hard working player. However, Rich
Is putting up stiff fight for the posi-
tion and should McPhaul falter he will
be ready to step in and fill the place
in an acceptable manner.
This afternoon at $50 O'clock the How
ard scrubs will tie up with the gridiron
squad of the Ensley High school on the
Tennessee Coal and Iron companys field
at Ensey. The scrubs have been play
ing good ball against the varsity dur
ing the past two weeks and are in fair
shape for the battle. Little is known
of the Ensley squad except that they
have been playing pretty good in scrim-
mage.

TEAM HEAVIER THAN LAST
YEARS FIELD
SETTLED UPON BY HEISMAN.
PATTEN WILL PLAY QUARTER

Atlanta, September 0.-(Special.)-W
two weeks of preliminary practice a week
of scrimmage and practice game be-
hind them Heismans Yellow Jackets are
beginning to show some definite form for
their supporters to judge them by for the
season to come.
Briefly the prospects can be considered
bright for three reasons more weight,
more speed and more kicking ability.
Last years Tech team averaged 159
pounds, the lightest eleven in the south.
This years will average between Il and
13 pounds to the man more ana will be
even faster than the 1912 team, which
could hardly be considered slow.
Heisman has settled ons his baekfield.
He made his mind up about this before
the practice started that is allowing that
no injuries would develop. The line is
unsettled and will be for at least two
weeks longer but all the promising line
men will be carried until the best are
weeded out in about three actual games.
Captain Cook and ALI Mcdonald both
veterans from last year, will hold down
the half back positions, with the former
calling signals and the latter doing the
punting. or part of it at least.
Jene Patfen. the Baylor star, who is now
out of the game with ruptured artery in
his knee. will hold down the quarter
back position and carry the assignment of
running back punts. In this he is expect
ed to shine, as he did In his prep days.
The question raised as to his eligibility is
not worrying him any and the schools
questioning it have recalled them.
Patten at Quarter
Jim Preas, the 1888 pound fullback from
Riverside Military academy, and called
the Jim Thorpe of Prep school ranks by
reason of his ability TO lead all comers
in all branches of sports and in track ath-
letics, in the latter as an all round man.
will do the fullhack honors.
Preas will divide the punting honors
with Mcdonald and according to the lIeis-
man system of tricks. either is likely to
punt 'on the direct snap from the kick
formation Preas is a wonderful place
ment kicker, registering goals from the
30 and 55-yard line with ease and with
effort booting them over 60 yards away.
This will be the regular back field, with
Reifsnder, a younger brother of the
famous Navy player, as first assistant
back field man and Tyler Montague, a
scrub for three years, kept off the team
by reason of his light weight, as next in
line.
Talley Johnson the former Chattanooga
High school star is handling the quarter
back position in the absence of Patten
will continue to do so, but when Patten
returns to the lineup, Johnson will be
