MAX ZASLOFSKY, 21-year-
old star of the Chicago Stags,
was the top scorer in the Bas-
ketball Association of America
this year.
The St. John's alumnus dump-
ed in 373 field goals and 261 free
throws for a total of 1,007 points

Nearly 300 newly-arrived refugees will raise their voices in celebration of their first Passover
in the U. S. at the reception shelter of United Service for New Americans, their final way
station en route to permanent homes throughout the country. Among them will be Rabbi
Isadore Braun and the happy children shown with him as they rehearse ancient songs in
preparation for their observance of the oldest festival of freedom for the first time in the
land of freedom. These newcomers are a few of the 25,000 Jewish survivors of Nazi persecu-
tion whose immigration, resettlement, and adjustment to American life are being aided in
1948 by the United Service program, financed through the $250,000,000 campaign of the United
Jewish Appeal for 1948.

Meteoric Rise

• • •
Gillman Elevated

THREE WEEKS ago, we de-
voted part of our column to Sid
Gillman, then head football coach
at Miami (0.) University.
We said: "There's no telling
how high. Sid will go in the
coaching world. Ile has been
linked to numerous jobs, and as
the saying goes, 'you can't keep
a good man down.'"
Therefore, it was with a great
deal of pleasure that we heard
of Gillman's appointment as head
line coach of the United States
Military Academy (Army).

IN ANNOUNCING the ap-
pointment, Earl Blaik, chief men-

dent of the art of football" and
"one of the best line coaches in
the country."
Sid is a former captain of Ohio
State, where he starred as an
end in 1931, 1932 and 1933.

A NEW YORKER, the Uni-
versity of Miami (Fla.) student
defeated such topnotch perform-
ers as Irving Dorfman, another
Jewish boy, and Ed McGrath,
eastern indoor champion, before
succumbing to the more experi-
enced Talbert.
Sidney's rise in tennis circles
has been meteoric. It was only
Jan. 2 that he was elevated to
the senior ranks by winning the
junior indoor crown.
His chief asset is his power,
particularly a smashing service.

SPORTING FEATS are not con-
"' fined to the male gender.
Carol Pence, 18-year-old Pur-
due University freshman, dispels
this false notion.
Miss Pence, a St. Louis gal,
bettered t h e
American rec-
ord for the
women's 100-
yard breast
stroke last
week, when she
covered t h e
distance in
1:14.4 in the fi-
nals of the
third annual
Beckman
Kansas City in-
vitation swimming meet.
Such an accomplishment is
not unusual for this Jewish girl.
As a member of the St. Louis
YW-YMIIA, she set over 50 speed
records in regional competition
over a three-year period.
At the moment, she is almost
a cinch to make the U. S. Olym-
pic team.
