premier, accordirig- to the Associated
Press, track and field athletes put
aside the west coast relays Sunday
with the knowledge that they had,
in the main surpassed the efforts of
their eastern and raid western cousins
in the annual contests here Saturday
night which went to Southern Cali
fornia for the sixth straight time
with 63 points. Stanford had 46,
Fresno State 34 and California 27
In nine of the thirteen events on
the progra/m the Californians turned
in better marks than are credited to
the 1934 efforts in the recent Penn
sylvania, Drake and Kansas programs.
Outstanding was the broad jump of
24 feet 10*4 inches by Olson of South
m California- Two junior college
boys, Sefton and Meades of Southern
Colifomia Junior college, tied for
first place in the pole vault at 13 feet
11 inches- Two inches higher than
the best at the Penn games
Big Ben Eastman ran the 880-yard
in 1:51-5- George Anderson, Univer
sity of California freshman, clipped
off the 110-yard dash in :09-4- John
Lyman of Stanford could not reach the
superhuman effort of Jack Torrance
contrbuted to the shot put at Drake
Lyman tossed the 16-pound ball 53
feet 10 3-16 inches, but was far
short of the 55 feet 1% inches Tor
ance came up with at De Moines

OMHAH’S MOST PROGRESSIVE

SPORTS
THE FORECASTS
More than once, since he graduated
Arcen school back in 1922. Marty
Thomas has heard remarks that the
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 a chance- No matter hew dark
and hopless seeming the prospects, he
must invariaple figure that there is
a way out
You Can’t Do It
On would think that the statisti
cians, of the Tuxedo, should have
discovered long ago that the teams of
Thomas cannot be adequately pictur
ed by figures- It is impossible to set
down all their skill and prowess in
neat tabulated counvns, this can
pretty accurately down in the case of
certain individuals. It has been
But taking Marty's teams as a
whole it is just impossible. 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 Woodson Didn’t
Two years ago the dope setters
demonstrated by all mathematical
processes but whch they picked the
Woodson Center basketball team to
win the colored league
What Actually Happened
The proud Woodson Center finished
the season well 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 traditionally 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
men and put a polish on thafrn and
when the big day came, were to come
out on top
Again Next Year!
The Thomasonians 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
simply haven’t a chance- Once more
they can demonstrate by figures and
talk that Woodson center simply can
not fail. They have sa*d the same
thing before
I confess it is beyond any powers
to discover any stragetgy, any set
manipulations, any actoin 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 foj. any
team and the Hunter All-Stars
Yes I find myself wondering who
is going to be the outstanding bas
ketball team for 1934 and 1935
