ABSTRACT:
A machine for repetitively throwing footballs by means of spaced apart confronting surfaces of spinning wheels. The machine includes a magazine with clamps for holding a plurality of footballs fixed in predetermined alignment for transfer for eventual throwing. A transfer arm is disclosed for sequentially transferring successive balls from the magazine to the throwing wheels while continuously holding them against misalignment until engagement by the throwing wheels. Several components of the machine are pivoted about a common axis to enable ball transfer without letting go of the balls. An operator's station and controls are provided so an operator can control all functions of the machine without touching the balls.
