YOU CAN'T RATE
THOMAS GUILE IN
THE FORECASTS

More than once, since he graduated
from school back in 1922. Mar+v
Thomas has heard remarks that tba
chances of his teams to ever come
through on top were slim.
Usually Marty agreed. but always
that has been only mouth talk. never
In his heart Deep down in that great
organ, Marty Thomas must harbor
the conviction that his boys always
have q chance. No matter how dark
and HOPELESS seeming the prospects, he
must invariaple figure that there is
a way out
You Can't Do 1t
On would think that the statisti-
clans, Of the Tuxedo, should have
discovered long ago that the teams of
Thomas cannot be adequately pictur-
ed by figures 1t is impossible to set
down all their skill and prowess in
neat tabulated Columns, this can
pretty accurately down in the case Of
certain individuals. It has been.
But taking Martyrs teams as a
whole it is just imrbsshle No
method has been evolved whereby the
craft and cunning Of Marty Thomas
can be reckoned in advance.
No one can foresee what Marty
Thomas will accomplish through his
loyal eager pupils.
But Wo0dson Didn't
Two years ago the dope settlers
demonstrated by all mathematical
processes but which they picked the
Woodson Center basketball team to
win the colored league
What Actually Happened .
The proud Woodson Center finished
the season we'll in second spot behind
the Thomas team
No one expected this which was
not surprising. Why should anyone
expect it? The Thomas team had
two new men and additionally they
had depnded upon five vets to work
together in complete harmony and
carry the load and score winning
points What did Marty do? He
Immediately began to develope these
and put a polish on them and
when the big day came, were to come
out on top.
Next YearI
The T-homasonians will again play
a big part in the winning Of the crown
next yer.
Once more number work boys can
prove to you that the Thomas bunch
haven't a Glance. Once more
they can demonstrate by figures and
talk that Woodson center simply can
fail. They have said the same
thing before
confess it is beyond any powers
to discover any stragetgy, any set
manipulations, any acton Of head or
threw than can keep the Thomas men
at the top. Things are indeed much
different than a few years ago. The
boys are much older, they think more
It's Up to Marty
And Woodson Center isn't the soul
menace The Aces. a group Of young
boys who will be competition for any
team and the Hunter Au-Stars.
