How To Fight In Hockey Successfully
.... jersey over his head, you can finish the fight by throwing the punches that
you throw the hardest to your opponent's face and stomach.
Another good technique is to grab the opponent's collar of his jersey
right below his chin with one hand and pull him foreword quickly. While you
slam him forward, use your other hand to punch him in the face. This technique
hurts the opponent the most because his momentum moving toward you makes the
blow twice as hard as an ordinary punch. Continue to use this tec .....

Martial Arts
.... martial arts. They are Bujitsu,
and Budo. The bujitsu martial art is a relatively new one. It emphasises combat
and willingness to face death as a matter of honour.
Budo, which was started during the late 1800's, focuses on developing
moral and aesthetic developments. Karate-do and Judo are forms of Budo. People
who learn budo learn it to use it only as a last resort.
Another martial art that developed in Japan is ninjitsu, which means

Minor League Baseball: Boom Or Bust To Communities?
.... pick up a souvenir or two--without having
to consider a second mortgage. No lockouts, no holdouts, no five-dollar beers,
and the umpire is the only one who can call a strike. “Just the national
pastime, played the game it is,” says one editor of The Minor League Baseball
Book.
There are currently 156 teams that are part of the National Association
of Professional Baseball. This number will grow in the next few years with the
addition of two expansion teams at the major league level. There have also .....

Mountain Bikes
.... I hope that this report will be
able to provide some information on the subject of mountain bikes and the
advances in technology that the bike has gone through, and what might be in the
future of the mountain bike.
The road bike has taken more than a hundred years to evolve into the
frame that it is being used on todays bicycle. Because of the increasingly
popularity of the mountain bike the demand for advances to be made have come
very rapidly.
The evolution of the mountain bike has been a stormy one o .....

Sports Management
.... College was not going to get me where I wanted
to go in life. I then transferred to the University of Charleston, where I am
presently. I wanted to pursue a sport management degree, while using my
athletic abilities to participate in softball. I have no regrets on the
decisions I have made, because I would never be the person I am today or have
met all of the key people along the way.
Throughout my college career, I have attempted to learn as much as
possible about the field of sports management t .....

Prop. 16
.... you will be convinced to belive the way I do.
Enjoy.
In 1992 only the small amount of 64.7% of the college-bound seniors
coming out of high school met the requirment of Prop. 16. This is very low and
it shows the students that they need to try alot harder to pass Prop. 16 to play
the sport they love so much. And sence they have to try harder to get at least
a 2.000 GPA, a 86 on their ACT, and a 1010 on the SAT to pass Prop. 16 they will
then hopefully become smarter and go to college to play sports. A .....

Should Scholarship Athletes Work?
.... board, books and tuition, but do not cover costs for trips home, gas,
laundry and other items. The determination of how much money covers those things
is made by each school's financial aid office; most administrators have
estimated the costs to be between $2,000 and $3,000 a year. Athletes who choose
to work, and their employers, will be required to sign an affidavit that says
the athletes have not been hired on the basis of their athletic ability or
status and that they will be compensated only f .....

Sponsors And Sports
.... credit cards, automobiles and a wide variety of
companies spend their money on sports related ventures. They spend big dollars
to name stadiums and arenas after their companies. Television gives these
companies even more chances to influence the public with commercials that
companies might sometimes pay up to $1 million for. The uniforms that the
players wear are now being made my different manufacturers whereas five years
ago each league had all their teams wearing the same brand. The equipment b .....

May, 1996 dicusses her determination and preparation for the competition in the

Surfing
.... safety, new surfers
must be good swimmers. Boards should be checked for cracks and slivers before
each use. All surfers should check the water conditions posted at the life
guard station before entering the water. Surfing should only be done during the
daylight hours and when other people are present. A new beginning surfboard
costs $50.00 to $70.00. A helpful device is a leash which attaches around the
wrist with velcro to the board. In this way, the board will not drift away from
the surfer. A .....

The Chicago Bulls: Number 5???
.... who? Charles, yes, Charles Barkley, the man from Phoenix, the round mound
of rebound. They have alsodrafted Othello Harrington, Randy Livingston, and
Terrell Bell. Livingston was the top high school player in '93, but has had
some severe knee injuries. Bell is a great shotblocker, but very raw on offense.
If the Bulls can overcome these two great teams, which they most likely
will, coming off a 72-10 season, not to mention their fourth championship in six
years, they will have their fifth.

The Changing Face Of Basketball
.... a shot clock was installed. The shot clock is a 24
second clock that a team had to shoot within that time period (Minsky 12).
Basketball has developed in that players have become more flashy, facilities
have become bigger and more complex, and leagues have grown. The 50's marked a
period of fundamentals. Teams practiced shooting, dribbling, and passing. they
also emphasized execution; something lacking in today's game. Execution is the
running of plays to perfection. Basketball in the 50's was dominated .....

No one can deny the significant role which sport and recreation plays in
every cul-ture and society across the globe. In the western and eastern worlds

The Hartford Whalers Are Going Going ...
.... no money left for the Hartford
Whalers (Swift & Arace, 1+).
The reason why these three companies keep all of the revenue from the
Civic Center can be blamed on Richard Gordon, the former owner of the Whalers
who did not want the city of Hartford to run the Civic Center. In 1993, the
state decided to negotiate a new lease with the Whalers. The state of
Connecticut did not want to run the coliseum so they hired three private
companies to take this job. These companies would only run the Civic Center if
