MEMORABLE LESSONS

NTO TEACHER under whom studied had
IN a greater ability to provide both facts
and inspiration than DIR. Thomas L. Martin,
who died year ago after 81 years on the
faculty of Brigham Young University.
He taught quite as much by his life
and manner as by what he actually said,
and this is the mark of a completely dedi-
Gated teacher.
His very life was an inspiration. He
was born in a coal-mining community in
England of parents so poor that five older
brothers and sisters died in infancy of
malnutrition and other ailments. He him.
self suffered so much from malnutrition
and sickness that he was not able to walk
until he was almost 6. Yet, at the age of
IL, he went to work in the mines, attend
ing school at night. When he was about
H. he had accumulated enough money to
pay his way to America-to Utah. During
the next four years, he worked and saved
so that, with the funds his father was able
to put by, there was enough to bring the
whole family to this country.
All this time, he himself was deter
mined to get enough education to be
school teacher. With his family here, he
was ready at last to pursue this goal in
earnest And so we find Thomas Martin
entering the 7th grade at the age of 10.
He finished grade school, then high school,
and then went on to Brigham Young Uni
versity. Here he roomed with other boys,
living largely on potatoes, and getting along
for about so cents a week He was 26
when he graduated. After few years as
principal of a secondary school, he went
on to Cornell University and received his
Pho. when he was 80.

and wholesome attitude-you cannot help
but succeed"
His students are now on the faculties
of 80 universities in the United States and
Canada.
1 know that 1, along with many hun
dredS of other young men who were in
spired by his genius as teacher and his
great love Of God and his fellow men, can
never fully repay the immense debt owe
him.
Along with so many others, ask only
that God will inspire and guide us all to

Two Other Ways
To Make A Ball Hook

Recently I described two ways
to roll a hook ball with no wrist
turn at all-just a finger lift
and follow-through. Below are
two additional ways to roll a
hook:
/. A bowler can generate
hook spin If he turns his wrist
from right to left just as he
delivers the ball, as the illus
tration shows. He must be sure
he turns only the wrist-not
his arm or shoulder.
And the turning of the wrist
should occur as the ball is
passing the left foot in the
delivery. Note that in the pic
ture too. Don't turn it too
soon or snap it. This right to
left wrist turn gives a similar
spin to the ball, which will
cause it to hook after it over
comes its initial momentum.
2. Still another way to roll
a hook is through a combina-
ton Of the finger lift style and
the wrist turn method described
above. Here, the thumb is at
IL o'clock and the fingers are
at 6. AS the ball is brought
forward. the fingers apply lift,
and the wrist is turned to 6
o'clock as the ball is passing the
left foot. This combination lift
and turn requires a delicate
coordination, and I don't recon-
mend it except for the advanced
bowler or one who is willing to
practice a lot to gain control
of it. FOOTWORK, ARM
SWING, TIMING AND FOL-

LOckman Impressive
The Colonials, who upset
Richmond in their opener
Tuesday night, showed tremen-
dous potential. Howie Bash
the only returning starter from
last season, tossed in six of his
baskets early, giving the Co.
lonialS IL of their first IS
points. Pete Krukar, noted as
a defensive star, was put on
Bash after that and held him
to one more basket.
Pleasing to Coach Bill Rein
hart was the work of Dave
Lockman, a sophomore from
Wakefield High, who led CIV
in scoring with Is points.
1--WE need experience" Rine-
hart said. "We hit a cold
streak at the end and then
gave up the ball too many
times. But we'll be all right.
You know, a team learns more
basketball losing to a good
team than beating a poor one.
I think Maryland's going to
have one of the good ball clubs
around the country. I thought
1t was a good ball game"
1t was. CIV got off to a 9-3
Jump, but the Terps came back
to take the lead. Then the Co.
lonials got hot again to go out
front by seven points. No team
enjoyed a bigger margin all
night, and in the second half
the lead juggled back and forth
until McNeil's jump shot tied
1t as 57-57 with 3:15 left and
Jerry Bechtle threw in a long
one with 1:35 to go.
Bunge Gets Clincher
The Colonials were missing
some of the shots by their
sophomores were incredibly
bad-and with less than min
ute to go. Bunge sneaked un-
der the basket undetected, took
a pass from Jerry Shanahan
and dropped in the two points
that clinched it. A free throw
by Krukar and a basket by
Bechtle ended the scoring.
Conspicuous by absence were
GW's Feldman twins, jeff and
Jon, a pair of 5-foot-9 scoring
stars for last years freshman
team. They didn't play against
Richmond either, which is no
reflection on their talents. 1t
merely points up the wealth of
promising material at Rein
hart's disposal.
The game opened the season
for the Terps, who don't play
again until they entertain Vir-
ginia Wednesday. CIV plays at
Virginia Tech tomorrow night
In the freshmen preliminary
last night, the Terps went wild
routing CIV, 110-69.
