The 1924 Yamacraw yearbook stated: "Jake is a boy in spirit, a man in mind. In all sports he is a spirited contender. On the gridiron he is a fighting mechanism, and his educated toe is a great asset to the team. He is a 'sheik' with the girls, but there is one thing certain, that nobody can Mar-his-Cell. We have a feeling of affection for this blonde headed youth. He has those qualities that characterize a man, courage, frankness, friendliness, humour and personality. We regret that we cannot associate with Jake in the future in the same free, joyous spirit as in the past four years, but we have come to the cross roads. May life with its richest gifts be yours, Jake."
