was a push for a more human-
istic approach to physical edu-
cation.
The object was to provide
activities for participation and
fun only. My basketball lesson
plans included fundamental
skill building.
When the basketball basics
were completed the classes
were given two options.
Students could sign-up for a
three-on-three tournament or
for a free shooting period.
All but four students elected
to play in the tournament.
Twenty minutes into the
period, all four asked to be
included in the bracket. Just
shooting was not so fun after
all.
My wife and children could
tell you that I usually know the
score at any given time for any
game we are watching or play-
Racing
ing. I know the scores because
that is what I have done since
the playgrounds of Sunset
Grade School in Hermiston,
Oregon.
The term “winners stay” was
used even in the late 1950s.
When you win at tetherball you
get to keep playing. When you
play more you get better so you
win more. This is a good cycle
to improve your skills.
When you won at marbles,
you got to keep your oppo-
nent’s marbles.
The best team was able to
play all recess. You do not get
better when you sit out by los-
ing. My brother and I practiced
many different sports at home,
after school and on weekends
so we had a better chance to
win at school.
When my high school JV
basketball team went undefeat-
ed in 1966-67, the crowds grew
as we kept winning. Some peo-
ple left after our game because
our varsity was not winning.
It has been referred as “get-
ting on the bandwagon.”
People like to live with the
association to a winner. I have

too often.
Unfortunately, this seems to

tected under several statutes as
two separate populations; a
large eastern population of
about 20,000 whales and a
critically endangered western
population of less than 150.

exciting research that is help-
