The purpose of this study is to determine if either of these two methods of snatching is preferable for the beginning weightlifter.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of positive specific feedback and positive general feedback on the bowling scores of subjects enrolled in two beginning bowling classes. Experimental groups were formed from two intact bowling classes, and a group of fifteen volunteers who made up the control group. The PSF group which contained twenty-eight subjects, was provided with positive specific feedback throughout the course of the study. The PGF group which contained thirty-five subjects, was provided with positive general feedback throughout the course of the study. Subjects were administered a pretest at the start of the study which consisted of the average score obtained after completing four games of bowling. Following the pretest, subjects in the PSF and PGF groups received eleven sessions of bowling instruction and twelve sessions of bowling competition. Subjects in the control group received no bowling instruction or practice. At the completion of the study subjects were administered a post-test which consisted of the average score obtain after completing tour games of bowling.

There is an apparent cycle in the history and appeal of a particular sport. When this cycle is completed there is a need for re-examination and change to initiate a further cycle. Judo in the Western world would appear to be reaching the end of such a cycle and examination and change is necessary for a variety of historical and cultural reasons to ensure that the sport of Judo embarks on another important cycle.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of internal imagery and experiential state on the performance of intercollegiate smallbore rifle shooters. An interaction between internal imagery and experiential state was hypothesized. Subjects included 43 smallbore rifle shooters from 7 universities stratified into 2 groups. Group 1, composed of 23 shooters, received internal imagery instructions and practice time; group 2 received unrelated instructions and an equal amount of practice time. Following the instructional period, a posttest was administered to each group (the NRA/ISU Style 1/2 course on an indoor 50 foot range) and each shooter completed an experiential state measure. Analysis of Variance with repeated measures was utilized to examine Pretest to Posttest score differences. An Alpha level of .05 was chosen as the measure of significance. Results of this study produced no evidence that internal imagery had a significant effect on shooters' composite performance scores. However, the control group's score was significantly lower than that of the imagery group on posttest prone performance. No significant differences were found in the experiential state scores of those shooters who utilized internal imagery as opposed to those shooters who did not. No significant differences were found between scores of shooters classified into a high experiential state group and those classified into a low experiential state group. No significant interactions were evident between internal imagery and experiential state as measured by posttest composite performance scores.

This study was undertaken to investigate the importance of various characteristics possessed by volunteer Hunter Education Instructors, as perceived by two study populations. The populations of volunteer Hunter Education Instructors in Kentucky and Hunter Safety Coordinators in the United States and Canada were asked to rate the importance of thirty-five given characteristics. Respondents were also requested to list any characteristics perceived as important that were not included in the battery of given characteristics. Both groups perceived that the majority of given characteristics were highly important. The volunteer Hunter Education Instructors and Hunter Safety Coordinators mostly agreed on which characteristics were important. Characteristics seen as highly important included "Is highly knowledgeable in hunter safety practices"; "researches questions to which he or she does not know the answers"; "Is organized and prepared"; "stimulates thinking among students"; "speaks clearly and audibly"; and "makes students feel at ease and comfortable." Respondents perceived the characteristics "Is a member of a hunting and/or conservation organization or club" and "Is certified as an Emergency Medical Technician as being of no importance when possessed by a volunteer Hunter Education Instructor. Other given characteristics were perceived as 'moderately important' or 'of little importance' for volunteer Instructors.

The focus of this study was on the work values of secondary school teachers. Values have been defined in many ways. The common agreement is that values are standards, beliefs, or principles that do guide and direct a person's behavior. The values a teacher holds will influence a student due to the natural role-modeling effect in the classroom. With the advent of career education and exploration of the world of work, the values held toward work become a timely topic. The discussion of values and value clarification in all aspects of a person's life is one that is becoming very popular in education.

Lean body weight and aerobic and anaerobic factors have long been recognized as important determinants of performance in the 2000 met:E!r (M) 1 ace distance for rowing. Current research with noninvasive techniques has important implications for training and performance but is inconclusive. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between a 2000 M rowing ergometer performance test (PT) and lean body weight (LBW), velocity at heart rate deflection (Vd), and anaerobic capacity (AC) in experienced rowers. Vd was used as an estimate of aerobic function. Thirteen trained male rowers (mean age 38.5 ± 8 years) were studied. Hydrostatic weighing at residual lung volume was used to estimate LBW. Each subject performed five exercise tests on a Concept II rowing ergometer: one 2000 M PT, two sub maximal step wise progressive tests to determine Vd (s/500 M), and two maximal 40-s anaerobic tests to determine AC. Intraclass correlation coefficients for the test/retest trials of Vd and AC were R = 0.740 and R = 0.863, respectively. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was used to explain variance in PT. The order of entry of each independent variable (and associated multiple R2 at each step) in the analysis was (1) Vd, 0.589; (2) LBW, 0.709; (3) AC, 0.720. The regression equation was PT (s) = 375.66 + 1.093 (Vd) - 0.820 (LBW) - 0.0007 (AC); S.E.E. = 10.01. It was concluded that performance in a 2000 M rowing ergometer PT is primarily dependent on aerobic metabolism and available lean body weight with anaerobic factors contributing to a lesser degree. These results have implications for specific training and team selection.

The importance and growth of campus recreation is being felt by leaders throughout the country. Daniels (2, p. 38) summarizes the importance of the total organism in modern education as follows: "Ample justification for a consideration of, the problem of recreation may be found in the latest and most authoritative literature in the field of educat1on, as well as in a direct study of conditions found on many college campuses throughout the country. Rooted firmly in the philosophy of modern educatlon is the thought that the total organism must be given the opportunity for experiences of an all-round nature, with these experiences based on the social and biological needs which enable an individual to live most successfully in relation to his particular social group." Acceptance of this philosophy implies the responsibility of devising ways and means whereby campus recreation purposes may be achieved. By no manner of reasoning can such purposes be realized without due consideration of, and provision for, opportunities in a wide range of recreational activities, such as crafts, music, nature, dramatics, sports, and games. Furthermore, these opportunities must be made available to all students and not merely the most talented and highly trained.

The purpose of this study is to determine the functions of the Ogden High School Pep Club in the light of the present needs of the Ogden High School student body, and to attempt to show by means of an historical resume, the progressive development of this organization. The Pep Club was founded at Ogden High School by persons who felt that there was a definite need for such an organization. The club was organized to meet the needs of the student body, and as the years passed, these changing needs were reflected in the club, for the club adjusted accordingly. Today the activities are more diversified than those of a few years ago; therefore the program should be adjusted and developed so as to be of greater value to the students in secondary schools.
