Thirty-tiith streeters hailed the uewsrsreps to show him the way to

that paine, they would meet Rose,
Avenue later for the championship. If
they lost, Poly and Rose Avenue would
fight it out.
Ilut it did not look now as it they
were going to lose-not with Xelse
Martin on the team. They had been
pretty doubtful before. Aside fmm
Iirud Masters, their star ball back, the
eleven was exceptionally weak this
year. But with both Brud and Nelse
in the buck field they need not Worry.
Moreover, by acquiring Xelse Martin
the Thirty-fifth Streeters made a double
gain. its-sides being a tremendous help
to thorn. he would be a tremendous loss
to Poly. It the truth be told, taking
him Irom the Poly team was like tak-
ing the rnninsprlng from a watch.
