[2] Peake's College Football Hall of Fame coach Andy Gustafson, said he never saw his equal as a punt returner.

After Virginia Tech’s freshman team won a game by a wide margin in 1925, a sports publicist nicknamed the team’s offensive backfield the “Pony Express”, taking off on Notre Dame’s famed “Four Horsemen.” The leader of that group was Frank Peake.

When the Techmen played VMI in the season finale, he scored both touchdowns in Tech’s 14-7 victory.

[4] In the 6 to 0 upset of the Colgate Red Raiders in New York, Peake ran for nearly 200 yards and scored the game's only points.

In the game against Virginia he came off the sideline with an injured hip to return a punt for a touchdown.
