LANE Sports Editor MAN BEHIND j WONDER TEAM 1 MAKES BIG SUC I CESS OF KID TEAM This is just another addition to the i story published last week about Mart j Thomas and the Midget League ha formed at the Mid City Center. The n*oteges to this master make up the Mid City Merchants, neatly dr sed in orange and black jerseys and black caps- Marty didn’t dis cover them, he made them, out on the polish just as smooth and fine the same as a waxxer does a danc> floor. The main prt of the thisg is, that Thomas has a real interest in these boys- He has giv;n them his un divided attention, schooling them in. every angle of the game- His real interest and feeling for them last fall and winter, when he drilled them into an unbeatable basketbal team. One r^son for this great interest is that the boys are willing to learn They have worked hard and stuck every since that first day that Mart took them in hand Who Is Thomas? When you ask one of these boys this, he will look at you amazed, and think that you are crazy. They as sume that every one who has had any part in sports, and doesn’t know Marty Thomas hasn’t been around t long, or has been unconscious all of the time. Well. Marty has lived a long time in Omaha- He was a star all around athletic at Central High School, and the outstanding football and basket ball player at Omaha University. It wasn’t until 1922, when he graduated from Central, that he took a real in terest in coaching and organizing teams of his own- He did so well in his coaching that Cbach Knapple of Central, had him back thefre helping him get the purple athletics in shape of the coming seasons. He is the out standing strike out man that has pitched kitten ball in Nebraska- pitch ing for the champion Tuxedoes He has been with them for about three years That’s just a small part of his rec ord- There is a lot more to it, but you know the rest yourself’ or at least you should.
