The Bulldogs are net even con-

ship by many of the dopesters, as
they have been what is known as
an. “in and out’’ club all season.
One night the red skirted war

However, if the Red and Black
quinset hits one of their streaks,

Georgia Tech has a great team
this year,and it is one of the fav-
cutes in the tournament an:'
should Tic- Tcchites play Georgia,
they would probably carry the
odds. However, the “best laid

in here, and the_Georgia team will
not be eliminated from the tour

It would be a bit ironic if the
Tech s.'udcnt body cheered the

turned on tl»c Yellow Jackets and

of than city. Before graduating
from the preps bt spent two
yean at Kakunasoo Normal school

he played football under coach
William Spaulding who is now

sity of Minnesota. Thomas also
received his rudimentary college
cducatoln In iotketball and base
ball at Kalamazoo and was ripe
for intensive %ork under K.-iute
Rockney at Notre Dame when he
entered the Irish school after the
Tfc first year Thomas went out
for the squad-he occupied the po
sition of Student of Rockne meth
ods. Joe Brandy, one of the most
famous of Notre Dame quarter
backs who is now director of Ath
letics at SL Thomas College in St.

yean of service on the squad.

With Brandy gone in 1921 Thom
as stepped into tho fight and won

Notre Dune quarterbacks are not
essentially nran who take part in

became known for his ability to

ffcvor with Rockne who soon boilt

the spring of 1921 he duplicated
his feat in football by poing* out
among a flock of candidates and
winning himcelf a regular berth in

eprameninlly the little mentor is
well suited for a coaching jx>si-
tion. He is naturally jovial but
has the ability, to lighten up and
command respect whenever the oc

With Chet Wynne nnd Buck

Orphans of Commerce
On nearly every merchant’s shelves are a few unknown left
overs. They have been there a long time. No one remembers
just how long. Dingy, faded and soiled, thev seem to be edging
away from their more brightly dressed neighbors to a place of
seclusion. There is a story behind these shabby little strangers.
A story of how once they were proud and new, dressed in
clothes as gaudy and bnght as the latest vial of perfume from
Paris. „..,
They were sold to the merchant by a salesman who knew their
merits. For a time the merchant remembered their merits and told
his cust9mers. But little by little these merits were forgotten.
The merchant, with his many items, slowly forgot even their
names. New clerks never heard of them.
.. .. ■«
When some of their more fortunate shelf mates were advertised
merchants began to display these lines more prominently and
shoppers selected the goods they became acquainted with through
printers’ ink, leaving uncalled for and unsold the .unknown. It,
takes little effort and little time to sell goods which everyone
knows about. v
The shabby little orphans are gradually disappearing. They
are being given away or thrown away to make room. Tomorrow
they will be gone.
