on Rebounding
You w ill often find in re ­
bounding that being tall does
not n ecessarily mean you w ill
get a ll the rebounds. Some of
the best rebounders in bas­
ketball
have been " s h o r t"
men such as Wes Unseld,
C het W a lk e r and B ill B rid g es.
It is v e ry im portant to con­
centrate
when rebounding.
T r y and watch the shooter so
you have some idea where the
ball is going.
Often the most im portant
phase of rebounding is getting
good position.
I f you place
you rself between the basket
and the opponent, you a re
m o te lik e ly to grab the re ­
bound.
T r y and block out
the opponent to keep him fro m
getting the b all.
I t is good to think aggres­
sively when r e b o u n d i n g .
Avoid slapping at the ball;
try and g rab the ball cleanly
although if you a re In position
you should try and tip in re­
bounds If possible.
T r y and be active under
the boards and try and know
w here the ball is and where
the opponent is at all tim e s .

in as voter re g is tra rs p rio r

registered many new voters
throughout
the country in

to u r.
C h a rity benefits and
appearances in parades and
drives a re all a p art of the
T em pts busy schedule. Being
concerned a t a ll tim es fo r
those in need has bestowed
the T em pts w ith a c e rta in
w arm hum anitarian feeling.
And implem enting this feeling
on stage and fo r society is
what they a re all about.
The Tem ptations all m ain­
tain an honest s p irit of re ­
spect fo r one another, a p ro ­
fessional approach to th e ir
business
of entertainm ent,
and a dedication of indivi­
duality w ithin themselves to­
w ards the o verall effect of
the group.
O tis W illia m s , the group's
quiet
le a d e r
through the
years, has been a H ercu lian
force in unifying a ll the e f­
fo rts of the group.
"O u r
audiences,"
he expressed,
"c o m e to see what the T e m p -
tations are all about a fte r
ten years, and we not only
have to be as good as we
w e re , but we have to keep
on being b e tte r. T h e re ’ s only
one way to do that, we have
to be totally together.
We
have to constantly think about
what is best fo r the g ro u p ."
O tis ’ group philosophy is im ­
plemented w ith the tra n s i­
tional
changes

the
years w hile m aintaining th e ir
num ber one stand.
A nother one of the veteran
m em bers, M elv in F ra n k lin
added, " I have always been
determ ined
to
make
the
Tem ptations the best group
there is and to p reserve that
feeling with all the m em bers
D o n 't forget that the best
offense in the w o rld has to
have good rebounding in o rd e r
to get the ball in p la y . And
conversely, the best way to
stop the fast break is to keep
the o th er team fro m getting
the rebound.

A fte r
joining the group
several
years ago,
Dennis
Edw ards commented on its
mood.
"W hen I firs t came
w ith the group, it was under­
going some changes in p e r­
sonnel.
W e had to w ork
longer to pull together a ll
the p a n s of the group, ami
we s till have to do that today.
Sure audiences change, but
if you give them what they
want, they keep coming back.
A ll of us try to keep our­
selves and the group open
fo r ideas to make the T em p ­
tations b e tte r. We never stop
w orking fo r w hat’ s best."
Richard Street is excep ­
tion ally quick witted and a
young man whose stream of
com ical one liners add light­

about his Involvem ent w ith

businesses in the country.
A W oolworth-sponsored study
indicates that Blacks spend

to 70 p e r cent of these ex­
penditures going fo r h a lrc s re

In the course of this com­
prehensive study it was also
revealed that Blacks spend
three p e r cent of th e ir to u l
income on such personal care
and beauty item s, expendi­

higher than those of whites
