Why Odds Won the Thanksgiving Game
The Odds won the Thanksgiving tgame in basket ball from a physiological, and not from a psychological standpoint. The Odds had members on ttheir team tthat were physically superior to the memebers of the Even tetam. The Odd guards were both taller and more muscular than the Even forwards; the Odd forwards out-matched outmatched the Even guards in physical build as much as Goliath did David; the Odd running center was superior to the Even running center in height, weight, and brawn in fact, the only two well-matched players on the court were the jumping centers. The odds did not win the game because they won Wednesday night for demonstration or because they found three pennies bearing the dates of Odd years respectively or because the Evens had the championship for five years or because they broke the floor out of the gym , or because that the fates had decreed that they should win, but they won that game nearly because they physically and not technically, out-matched the Evens.
