Galaxy of Jewish Athletes
to Compete in '48 Olympics
By FRANK BECKMAN
THE FIRST SUMMER Olympiad since war's end (starts July
30 at London) will find a galaxy of Jewish athletes wearing
the colors of many nations.
According to information compiled by
Charles Ornstein of New York, representative
of the National Jewish Welfare Board on. the
U.S. Olympic Committee, Jews will be more
prominent in this year's games than ever before.
The U. S. track and field team will include
Stephen Seymour of Los Angeles, whose toss of
248 feet, 10 inches, is the best American mark
for the javelin; William Steiner of New York,
marathon; and Victor Frank of Yale, discuss.
Norman Wasser of the University of Illinois,
Dave Pincus of Penn State and Robert Seligman
Beckman
of the University of North Carolina just missed
making the squad.

IRVING MONDSCHEIN, New York University's all-around
athlete, was considered a cinch to make the U. S. team but failed
to jive up to expectations, finishing second in the National AAU
decathlon tournament, which tie had previously won on three
consecutive occasions.
Two others who have made the grade are Henry Laskau,
member of the New York Maccabi A. C., and Fred Sharaga, of
the New York 92nd Street YM-YWHA. They will compete in
the 10,000 meter walk. Laskau and Sharaga finished one-two in
the National AAU meet last month.

NOW TO LOOK AT other sports.
The American fencing team will be made up in part by
Nathaniel Lubell and Ralph Goldstein, epee; Daniel Bukantz,
foil, and Isadore Wasserman, coach.
Gtne Wettstone, gymnastic coach at Pennsylvania State Col-
lege, will be mentor of the men's gymnastic team, and Joseph
Salzman, athletic director of the Elizabeth, N.J., YM-YWHA, has
been selected as one of the coaches of the women's gymnastic
squad.
Anollier person to watch is Herman Wittenberg, a member
of the New York Police Department, who is the 1948 AAU heavy-
weight wrestling champion.

GEORGE GULACK, winner of the 1932 Olympic title on the
flying rings, is manager of the American gymnastic team. His
-• fellow JWB executive, Harry Henshel, will accompany the U.S.
cage team as a member of the U.S. Olympic basketball committee.
Then we can't forget Carol Pence, Purdue University sopho-
more, who won a berth at the swimming tryouts at Rouge Park
last week. Miss Pence, 19-year-old St. Louis girl, is national
women's breast stroke champion. A disappointment in the Rouge
tournament was Dick Weinberg of the University of Michigan,
who finislied third in his heat.
Six members of the senior basketball team of the Montreal
YMHA will be among the 14 players representing Canada in the
basketball playoffs. A photo of the group appeared in last week's
Chronicle.
They are "Mendy" Morein, "Doodle" Bloomfield, Ben Lands,
Murray Waxman, Sid Strulovitch and Sol Tolchinsky. Moe
Abramowitz, strategist of the YMHA quintet, will serve as co-
coach of the Canadian entry.

OVERSEAS, TOO, many Jewish stars are bright Olympic
prospects. Freddie Oberlander, holder of the British amateur
heavyweight wrestling title, is regarded as a certain qualifier.
Jack Kirsteins may win a spot on the British team as a
middleweight grappler, while Henry Caplin is expected to be
one of England's weight-lifters. Arthur A. Gold is on Britain's
track and field coaching staff.
South Africa's weight-lifting squad will include Izzy Bloom-
burg, and Ray Weinberg stands a good chance of making Austra-
La's track team as a hurdler.
Dr. Margaret Shohat, 22-year-old Indian doctor, is shown
as she contributed her pint of blood to aid the fighters and
builders of Israel. A resident of Bombay, Dr. Shohat is
studying in the United States. She and other members of
Masada, Young Zionists of America, made their contribution
at the "Masada Blood Bank Day" sponsored in co-operatiou
with the American Red Mogen Dovid for Palestine.
Allen H. Blondy, Detroit at-
torney, has filed petitions to run
for Congress as Republican can-
didate in the Michigan 15th dis-
trict.
Blondy said he would back up
the platform adopted at the Re-
publican national convention and
advocate the repeal of the U. S.
arms embargo to Israel. He went
on record as favoring federal aid
to education.
A graduate of the University
of Detroit, Blondy has been prac-
ticing in Detroit for 22 years.
He is married and the father
of two children. They live at
17530 Roselawn avenue.
