dleweight champion, had his string
of six straight wins broken when
he was kayoed in one round by
Harry Balsam°. But the German
exile bounced back and won his
next two bouts, finishing the year
as the 11th best fighter in his di-
vision. Solly Krieger was another
middleweight who continued to go
places. Max Baer finally admitted
he was through after his defeat
by Tommy Farr, English cham-
pion, who had previously put the
crusher on Kingfish Levinsky.
Bob Olin, former world light-
heavyweight champion, also failed
to get far in his comeback cam-
paign. Other Jewish fighters in
the limelight were Davey Day and
Lew Feldman, lightweights; Abe
Simon, Buddy Baer and Abe Feld-
man, heavyweights, and Jack Port-
ney, welterweight.
Perhaps the most interesting
Jewish development in boxing was
the emergence of Mike Jacobs as
the new Tex Rickard. When Joe
Louis won the heavyweight title
from Braddock, Jacobs became the
big boss of boxing because he had
a five-year contract with the new
champion. The failure of Schmel-
log to get a match with Braddock
or Louis put a crimp in Joe Ja-
cobs, the German's manager. The
threatened anti-Nazi boycott of
Schmeling had a good deal to do
with his being eliminated from a
championship bout.

while Stanley Sarnoff was elected
president of the Princeton Fencing
Association.

FOOTBALL

Not in many years have Jewish
gridsters enjoyed a banner season
like 1936. In every section of the
country Jewish stars made foot-
ball history. Marshall Goldberg,
Pittsburgh's sophomore backfield
ace, was not only the greatest Jew-
ish player of the year, but one of
the best in the country. Much of
the credit for Pitt's 1936 record
was due to the ball-carrying of
Goldberg. What he did to Notre
Dame was a crime. And his play-
ing in the Rose Bowl game was
something to remember. He didn't
quite make the All-American
eleven, although he got plenty of
mention, but he had no trouble
crashing the All-East team, Not
far behind Goldberg in all-around
brilliancy was 011ie Adelma n,
sparkplug of Northwestern's Big
Ten championship team. His long
dashes and grand signal-calling
made him one of the key figures
on a great eleven. Another crack
Jewish quarterback was Al Litwak
of the unbeaten Western Reserve
eleven, who pulled an iron man
stunt by playing 60 minutes in each
of 10 straight games. All Hess-
berg, Yale quarterback, Sid Luck-
man of Columbia, Herb Baumstein
of Mississippi, Mickey Kobrosky of
Trinity, Al Londe of Missouri, Saul
Nechtem of Boston U., Morris Pol-
lock of California, Solly Sherman
of Chicago, Eugene Rosenthal of
Carnegie Tech and Joe Kaufman
of George Washington were other
outstanding Jewish backfield stars.
On the line there was also a.
plentitude of high-grade Jewish
players. Joe Ober of Pennsylvania,
Phil Swiadon of N. Y. U., Alex
Schoenbaum of Ohio State, Joe
Wilensky of Southern California,
Leroy Monsky of Alabama, Mau-
rice Patt of Carnegie Tech, Ed
Merlin of Vanderbilt, Barney Mar-
cus of Bates, Joe Nathanson and
Melvin Zais of New Hampshire
were the standouts of a rare crop
of ends, tackles, centers and guards.
Kobrosky and Harold Zinman were
captains of the Trinity and Tufts
elevens, respectively, while Monsky
will lead Alabama this year. Benny
Friedman was signed to a new
contract as City College mentor,
while Eddie Hirschberg, former
Pitt lineman, was named line
coach at Dartmouth.
Although there were a number
of Jewish stars playing pro foot-
ball, few of them rivalled their
collegiate contemporaries. Among
the best of the Jewish pro grid-
dsters were Buckets Goldenberg of
the Green Bay Packers, Dave
S m u k a I e r of the Philadelphia
Eagles, the Singer twins of the
New York Giants, Jack Grossman
of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Phil
Handler of the Chicago Cardinals,
and Dave Leibowitz and Harry
Newman of the Giants.
