Abstract

The article features 58-year-old Wilfred Hetzel, who was known as the world's greatest freak shot expert. He took his first freak shot as a 12-year-old in Melrose, Minnesota in 1924. It mentions that Hetzel never learned to dribble despite making 144 straight foul shots standing on one foot. He performed freak shooting for about 25 dollars per show in the early 1940s.
