PREAS THINKS
5.|.A. A. RULING
VERY UNJUST.
i'm Was Careful to Protect Him
self Against Professionalism.
Hard Blow to Tech,

He Jackets hard luck story did
not come until late, but when
one saws there is gloom in the
yeuow Jacket hive now, you speak a
whole mouthful.
Coach Heisman, Assistant Coach
Alexander the team, and all the stu
lent BODY are in a very melancholy
mood to-day, Heisman being the
bluest Of them all.
This sad feeling is caused all from
The loss of one player, and a good one,
Tim Preas. At the s. |. A. A. meeting
Monday afternoon Preas was declared
ineligible to participate in college ath-
letics on the charge of professional
ism.
This was the greatest blow and
caused more sorrow than any other
incident that has happened to jim in
his nineteen years of existence.
When the news reached Jim he
did not believe it, taking it merely as
Joke but when he was convinced
that it was true, he did not know
what to do with himself, He has
worn a sad, depressed and humiliating
expression ever since.
I'm is a good, clean, clever sports
man. 1t has been the height of his
ambition since early childhood to be-
come college athlete of the Jim
Thorpe variety, but to think of his
being ruled off for professionalism
causes him to lose all his athletic am
bition,
Jim says he is unjustly accused and
can not understand the condition of
the case upon which he is suffering a
penalty.
Preas has not, or did not, receive
money for athletic service, but received
a scholarship from prep school, and
the prep school contends that this
scholarship was awarded to him for
his athletic service. Preas thought he
was getting it for his general excel
lence in the school he attended just
before this one.
That is the ground upon which he
was ruled out of S. l. A, A.
I IN very easily could have been a
J professional, for he has had num-
erOus offers to play football and base
ball for money, but he would not &C
cept any offer. He has been guarding
himself against the strict S. l. A, A.
rules for several years. Last year
while he was at Riverside he would
not even practice with the Gainesville
ball players, saying that some one
might say he was playing with the
team and getting pay for 1t.
Jim is very anxious to get back into
the game, but no efforts are being
made to get him back as the season

By 0. 3. Keller.

NOE upon a time there were a
couple Of baseball teams that
agreed to cut out all the rough
stuff and be polite on the field, even
to the umpire. And the umpire, on
his side, agreed to be polite and gen.
uemanly and forbearing in his atti
tude toward the players.
That is not a Fairy Story. 1t is
the cold truth. 1t was tried once
just once.
Joe Kelly tells the story and as we
got it direct from a guy, who had it
straight from a guinea, who got i.
from Joe, we are able to offer the
report Of this unparalleled experiment
verbatim, or, at least as nearly so as
the postal uthorities will permit.
Following is it:
" on can refine baseball until
you're black in the face" said
the old Baltimore star, and you can
make a parlor game out of 1t by CIV
ing the umpire power of life and
death, but you can't make ball play
ers stop talking in the heat of action,
Baseball can be made, and is being
made, gentlemanly and clean. But
when 1t comes to the Chesterfieldian
stuff between umpires and players

That is Mr.. Kelly's sentlemanly
lead, following which we will en-'

In the second came the blow off
and if Mr.. Lord Chesterfield had been
there. he undoubtedly would have fled
from the scene, twittering with hor-
ror.
Baltimore had three men on bases
and Jennings was at bat. Reitz made
dash for the plate on what he
thought was a passed ball The Bos-
ton catcher recovered the ball and
dove for the sliding Reitz, but Jen-

and spilled him a dozen feet away

THE .JEFFERGONIAN
Brother Coleman says, sezzee:

''The people of the United States spent few
thousands of dollars in converting the people of
the Sandwich Islands. They were in a low state
of civilization and were cannbals. The Christians
put their money into saving them on account of
their worth as human beings and needed saving.
Yet a few years ago that people who felt like they
should reward us some way, voluntarily rendered
those islands to the United States government.
Our government accepted them and they
part of our great country. Those islands are now
worth untold millions of dollars to this country"
The Sandwiches were in such low state
Of civilization that they made sandwiches
out of one another; and we Christians went
over there, missionarily, and "spent few
thousand dollars"
In return for this trifing outlay, ''that peo-
pie who felt that they should reward us some
way, voluntarily rendered those Islands to
the United States government. Our govern
ment accepted them, and they are now worth
untold millions!"
Will Brother Coleman please tell us where
he gets his facts?
| thought that everybody knew the story
of those unhappy Islands
The missionaries went there and were quick
to seize their opportunities. They and their
children and their fellow Christians gobbled
up the choice lands of the Islands.
The natives caught the vices and the
diseases of the whites, and died off like flies.
The whites overthrow the simple rulers of
the natives and seized the government.
Queen Liliuokalani was powerless to resist
the whites. She appealed to this country,
coming in person to Washington City to
plead her cause
Clevelands administration sided with the
white robbers and usurpers, as a matter Of
course; and the poor natives were left to be
