The words, in spite of their aggressive ness, were good-natured enough, and were spoken with a smile. Ford Fenton, who seldom took part in any conversation about college sports or frolics without mentioning his relative, who had been a well-known coach at Randall, looked first surprised, then hurt, but as he saw that the sympathies of his companion freshmen were with Langridge, he concluded to make the best of it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Play Baseball To become a good baseball player is the ambition of every boy at school, and the absence of any sound, practical advice has often resulted in spoiling young men, who, under different conditions, might have been developed into first-'class players. Many ama teur and young players jump at the conclusion that as they are able to throw, or catch a ball, or run fast, they are on the proper road to become first-class players, and that these attri butes constitute the groundwork of a baseball player.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baseball Instruction Book If you practice pitching only a short distance, say forty feet for a month, then go into a regular game, then the bat ter would seem far away, your speed would'be less and you would have poor control. But practice throwing 5 feet more than pitcher's distance for a month and then go into a regular game, now the batter will seem close, your control will be excellent, and you will be surprised to see how much your speed has increased. Practice regularly this distance until you can throw an average of eighteen out of twenty over the plate. Then and not until then begin the practice of curve pitching.

Download or read book Scientific Basketball Classic Reprint written by Nathan Holman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scientific Basketball With the increasing interest in basketball as the game advanced in years came a wider experimentation in different styles of play. Where leagues and tournaments are formed and championship series for cups are played, teams invariably' make an annual house cleaning. Reviewing their record and making comparisons, they manage to find that in this manner. Their defense was inefficient, that by use of other formations their offense might have been strengthened, and generally invent new systems or experiment with those essayed by other teams. The game has consequently advanced. With every season it has grown more scientific, more complex, and more difficult to master. On the offensive, teams have attempted systems built around dribbling, others around long distance shooting and wholesale following up of shots; some have specialized in the long passing game; others have made use of no special system whatever but have relied upon individual strength. But in general the tendency of late has been to de velop the short, conservative passing game. Concerning styles of defensive play there have been even wider differences of opinion and greater experimentation. Many have advocated and made use of the zone defensive; some the first man thru system; others have believed in taking one's nearest unguarded Opponent. In recent years, the system which has rapidly gained in favor is the five-man style of defense in which each player is responsible through out the game, with but few exceptions, for the guarding of his Opponent. The five -man game has always been m use inprofessional circles and has only recently come over to the amateur class where it has met with only mediocre success owing to lack of experience and capable teaching. It seems inexplicable at first consideration of the subject why the amateur basketball player, as represented on the college and larger athletic club teams, is so much inferior to the man who makes the game of basketball a profession. We occasionally witness the graduation of a college baseball star right into the ranks of the Big Leagues and also note that the majority of the professional football elevens are recruited from amongst college stars of the so-called all-american cali bre. This sort of thing does not exist in basketball. I have never seen a college player in all my years of association with collegiate basketball who has had the ability, the polish, the experience required of a successful professional player. A great many collegiate court stars have the potential ability of great basketball players, but at the very height of their amateur game they seem to lack the fundamental groundwork which professional men carry on to the court with them.

Download or read book The Book of the Damned written by Charles Fort and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gould shows why a more accurate way of understanding our world is to look at a given subject within its own context, to see it as a part of a spectrum of variation and then to reconceptualize trends as expansion or contraction of this “full house” of variation, and not as the progress or degeneration of an average value, or single thing.
Download or read book History of the Idea of Progress written by Robert Nisbet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of progress from the Enlightenment to postmodernism is still very much with us. In intellectual discourse, journals, popular magazines, and radio and talk shows, the debate between those who are "progressivists" and those who are "declinists" is as spirited as it was in the late seventeenth century. In History of the Idea of Progress, Robert Nisbet traces the idea of progress from its origins in Greek, Roman, and medieval civilizations to modern times. It is a masterful frame of reference for understanding the present world. Nisbet asserts there are two fundamental building blocks necessary to Western doctrines of human advancement: the idea of growth, and the idea of necessity. He sees Christianity as a key element in both secular and spiritual evolution, for it conveys all the ingredients of the modern idea of progress: the advancement of the human race in time, a single time frame for all the peoples and epochs of the past and present, the conception of time as linear, and the envisagement of the future as having a Utopian end. In his new introduction, Nisbet shows why the idea of progress remains of critical importance to studies of social evolution and natural history. He provides a contemporary basis for many disciplines, including sociology, economics, philosophy, religion, politics, and science. History of the Idea of Progress continues to be a major resource for scholars in all these areas.
