AUHopes to Keep on Winning
By Keeping Up With SighoItz
By Bill Fuchs

Players on the American Uni
versity basketball team are alert
these days. They have to be,
particularly when Marty Sigholtz
has the ball. Failure to watch
Marty often results in a smack
in the face by a ball travelling
at high speed.
Not that the former Mont
gomery Blair High School star
enjoys bombarding his team
mates. It's just that Marty has
been playing basketball a long
time and has acquired a sizzling
ball handling and passing tech
nique that's difficult to keep up
with.
"At first the boys weren't used
to anybody who could throw
like that" Coach Dutch Schulze
says. "Sigholtz can throw the
ball behind his back, between
his legs. anywhere. He was hit
ting them in the faces and chests
they didn't know what to ex-
pect next. So now, these boys
are always alert for a pass from
him, no matter where he isl"
Starred for Blair.
High school fans will remem-
Der Sigholtz for his play with
Blair last season. He will be
remembered particularly for his
one-game performance in The
Star Metropolitan Tournament,
a performance which landed him
on the All-Tournament first
team. His 10 points together
with an amazing exhibition of
passing and dribbling, kept Blair
in contention against Tech all
the way in the opening game.
Tech. which won the tourna-
ment and finished the season
unbeaten, beat the Blazers by
only six points.
Marty, 5-foot-11 and 10 years
old, first began playing basket
ball at the age of 7, with his
brother. Bob. acting as instruc-
tor. Bob, now an Army captain
stationed at the Pentagon, played
professional basketball in the old
Eastern League and not too long
ago played in a Philadelphia
summer league against the likes
of Paul Arizin and Jerry Fleish-
man.
Marty, whose mother now lives
in Laurel and owns the South
gate Motel on Route /, plans to
take up law at AU.
Lost Scoring Touch.
The leading scorer at West
Philadelphia High and a first
team choice on the All-Phila-
delphia Public High team before
going to Blair in his senior year,
Sigholtz lost some of his scoring
touch with the Eagles. But he
is regaining it. He now has
raised his average to eight points
per game.
But in our system we don't
have any top individual scorer"

scores. There never are more

he said. 1--WE are just expecting
