RATE JACOBS BEST ATHLETE
WASHINGTON — He is the finest handball player of all time, and possibly the best athlete, regardless of sport, in the United States. This is how Sports Illustrated, a leading weekly sports magazine, described Jimmy Jacobs, an AZA alumnus of teenage boys' division of ^B?B:Y.U;^ ^ "There is no athlete; in the Wprld who dominates his sport the supremacy that Jimmy enjoys in fourwall handball, landball is a demanding sport that requires endurance, speed, )wer, and dexteirity, all of which the muscular Jacobs, who stands five feet nine inches and weighs 175 pounds, has in abundance."
Jacobs has won six U.S. hand-all association singles cham-ionships'and has shared in four

doubles titles. With his partner Marty Decatur, Jacobs forms the strongest doubles competition of all time. They have never lost a niatch; they have never even lost a game. In fact, Jacobs by himself is considered a great "doubles" player: alone he can defeat" any 'two^dther'meii.
Jacobs, now 35, played football, baseball, and basketball for Gershwin AZA 18 years ago, When he was on the team, Gershwin AZA never failed to win the championship.
Sports Illustrated wrote, "In the AZA basketball finals one year, Jacob scored on a lay up to tie the game just before the buzzer sounded. However, he had been fouled making the shot and was given one free throw. If he made it, his team won the championship; if he missed, the game went into overtime.
"'I asked for a time-out,* Jacobs says. *I wanted to know how I was going to conduct myself mentally. The fellows thought I had called time to catch my breath, but I was trying to collect my thoughts at the foul line.'"
His coach had once told him that in an important situation, over-concentration can destroy you. The coach impressed him that a free throw is easy and should be conducted as if it were practice. Imagining it was a practice shot, Jacobs received the basketball from the referee, aimed it, and made the shot.
His teammates shouted with the excitement of winning another championship.
