SAN ANTONIO —A professional
hypnotist currently working with
two San Antonio Spurs basketball
players claims he could help injured
New England Patriot Darryl
Stingley to walk within a year.
“I want Darryl Stingley of New
England. I can show him in a year
how to be walking,” said Tom Ray,
who prefers to be called an
“educator.” “All I need is six or
eight hours. I’d like Mitch Kupchak
(of the Washington Bullets, who has
chronic back trouble.)
“I am educating people as to the
potential their bodies have when
controlled by the thought process.
Even though I am called a profes
sional hypnotist, I’m not like any
other (hypnotist) in the world.”
The two Spurs under Ray’s guid
ance ask to remain anonymous, cal

notist “personal” and saying the
public might have misconceptions
about the use of various
consciousness-raising techniques.
“It has connotations of being voo
doo or mystic,” said Spurs General
Manager Bob Bass. “That’s not true
at all. This is very positive.”
The hypnotist, who is writing a
book on the subject, said he
provides his service to professional
athletes at no charge because, “it is
for the fun and enjoyment of Tom
Ray.”
“The conscious mind controls the
subconscious,” he said. “The sub
conscious controls body functions.
Therefore, consciously through the
subconscious you can control body
functions. And you can do it at full
speed on a basketball court.
Ray said he has seen only
progress in the players who accept
his advice and that a player under
his instruction can better control his
body functions and begin healing an
iniury immediately.
“Your performance level is only
what you desire,” he said. “If you
can control body tunctions, why not
do it to help yourself?”
Hypnotism has been used to raise
consciousness levels since the time
of the Ancient Egyptians, Ray said,
and the Russians and East Germans
have been considered pioneers in
applying hypnosis in athletics.
As early as 1950, the St. Louis
Browns baseball team employed a
hypnotist and two years ago, the
University of Texas accepted guid
ance from an Austin hypnotist who
used a relaxation technique that the
players termed very successful.
“We are trying to eliminate han
gups that keep us from performing
at our best,” Texas Longhorns
Coach Fred Akers said at the time.
“This doesn’t make you faster or
stronger. It keeps you from being a
hindrance to yourself. In a state of
anxiety, you can’t perform.”

BALTIMORE — The woman
wanted to write a thank-you note to
the employer of a tall stranger who
changed her car’s flat tire.
Betty Helfrich was on her way
home from church Sunday when her
car had a flat tire. The stranger pul
led off the road next to her and fixed
her flat tire in 15 minutes.
“Let me write to your company
and I’ll tell them what a Good
Samaritan you are,” she said.
“Well, you’ll have to write to the
Baltimore Orioles,” the Good
Samaritan replied.
“Oh, what's your name?” she
asked.
“Jim Palmer.”
