You cannot produce a smooth
release from an upright position
The ball w ill probably be
thrown out too far, which takes
spin and subsequent action at the
pins.
At the release the left
knee should be comfortably bent
(illustration). This smooths the
delivery and puts the bowler in
good position to pitch the ball
out only six inches or so past the
foul line.

He was the seventh rookie ever
to hit the 2,000-m ark in the NBA
but only the second guard. The
other
was the Big ( 1 - Oscar
Robertson.
Said Coach Todd of P etrie ’s
selection, "Geoff wants to be the
best and I think lie will be.
He’ s
the kind of playei who can turn a
game around. He’ s a tremendous
individual and a
tremendous
player."
Todd noted P etrie’ s tremen­
dous improvement in shot selec -
tion" as the season progressed
skills.
"Significantly, "
said
Todd,
“ Geoff gave up the ball more often
and with more signlf lcane than any­
one else on the club."
Bearing this out are P etrie’ s 390
assists — a total Just two short of
the thlrd-hlghest for a rookie
in
NBA history.
And Petrie, who led his team in
assists as well as points, earned
more assists in road games Qian in
home games against exactly half of
Portland’ s 16 opponents.
The person most responsible for
selection of P etrie in Portland’ s
firs t col lege draft is Stu Inman, di­
rector of player personnel for the
Blazers.
Asked what led most significant­
ly to the choice Inman gave
a
number of reasons but said,
"No
one I talked to would bad rap him on
anything."
"The more background I receiv­
ed on Geoff," said Inman, " the
more he just kept going up and up in
our estimation of him. In fact,
it
scared me a little . We started to go
higher and higher on everyone’ s
list. I ’ ll never forget the long 30
second before we could make the
choice."
That’ s Geoffrey P e tr ie - Who
with Cowens of Boston shares
