DETROIT
MAN Cif lilt WILED
PHILIP (CINCY) SACHS watt eating supper Jan. 23 when the phone
rang. The voice on the other end was that of James D. Norris
Jr., executive vice president of the Detroit Falcons, professional bas-
ketball team. He wanted to see Cincy "right away, if possible."
Nvhen Sachs left Norris' office at the Olympia, he was bubbling
over with joy. "It was one of the happiest moments of my life," he
bald. Cincy had just been named coach of the Falcons.
Unlike members of his squad, Sachs was never able to go to
college. In tact, when he was attending high school in Cincinnati
(he received his nickname when
he arrived in Detroit in 1517), 'he
was forced to sell papers and de
odd jobs during his spare hours.
"My parents were just too poor
to send me to college," Sachs
bald, "and when I was In high
school I was never able to try out
for the varsity team."

FOR A MAN of 44 (he will be
45 April 1) Cincy has the unusual
distinction of being Detroit's
"grand old man of basketball."
He has been coaching for 28 years.
During that period, Sachs has di-
rected teams to 28 championships
in bona fide leagues.
40,
He has been mentor of Mans-
field, an independent professional
quintet, for the past several years,
a post he relinquished to take over
the Falcons. During the past three
seasons, Mansfield won 152 games
while losing only 25. Under Sachs
this year, it won 16 while drop-
ping four. His 1944-45 team, in-
cidentally, captured the Cleveland
CINCY SACHS
Professional Invitational Tourney.
Although Cincy is looking ahead in his efforts to make Detroit
a power in the Association of American League, he still can remin-
isce about "his teams" and "his boys." In the latter category fall
such names as Hy Keiden, Sam Raskin, Dr. Carl Gussin, Al Tenen,
Fritz Skolnick, Meyer "Susie" Schechter, Lloyd Goldstein, Jack Tuck-
er, and Dr. Wilbur Freeman, all stars of five, 10 and more years ago.

SACHS HAS BEEN given a free hand in his handling of the
Falcons. The management wants a winning team and it doesn't care
how Cincy goes about producing one.
"I'm going to call up coaches Nat Holman, of City College of
New York and Joe Lapchick of St. John's University," Sachs said,
"to see if they can steer me to a couple of outstanding Jewish players.
It's good foe the gate receipts, too, you know."
When Sachs' appointment was released by the press, bald Cincy
was immediately flooded with congratulatory messages from all over
the country. Most of them read something like this:
"Congratulations on the new position. You are just the fellow
te start things rolling."
A bachelor, Sachs lives with his family at 3329 Leslie avenue.
He is also a salesman for the Griswold Sporting Goods Co.
