Xerox University Microfilms 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 HUTSLAR, John Lee, 1939- SOCIAL FACTORS INFLUENCING SUPERIOR MALE BOWLING INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced. 5. PLEASE NOTE: Some pages may have indistinct print. Filmed as received.

That is, younger siblings tended to perform physical edu­ cation activities more capably among their age-mates than did their older siblings among their respective age-mates. There has been a great deal of sociological and psychological study of birth order and its influence on achievement and performance. However, little research has been conducted to examine how birth order influences skilled sport performance. Adams stated, in a review of birth order literature, ". one feels intuitively that this and other variables should make a difference in per­ sonality, behavior, or some aspect of social existence."^ ■^Bert N. Adams, "Birth Order: A Critical Review," Sociometrv. XXXV (1972), 411. 1 2 Not only does one feel that siblings should in­ fluence this social existence, but one cannot avoid the assumption that family— mother and father— should also have an impact on social development. Beisser pointed out the negative influence of the family upon one of its members. Jack, an ex-football player suffered from emo­ tional paralysis which involved severe depression. As 2 a youngster his family held certain expectations of him. His desire to emulate his older brothers was intense since he hoped in this way to win his father's interest. He tried to tag along with the brothers when he could. Although they were rough and teased him, on other occasions they did encourage him and taught him some fundamentals of the game.3 It was predestined that Jack would be a foot­ ball player and that he would be

These events must be scheduled on lanes that currently are USBC certified and only USBC approved equipment may be used. Rule 2 – The Game 2a.

If none of the standing pins are knocked down by the second delivery in a frame, the score sheet shall be marked with a (-). The count for the two deliveries in the frame shall be recorded immediately. A frame-by-frame account on scoring and calculating can be found on the Rules page of BOWL.com. 2c.
