Page Sixteen DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE OUR ATHLETES Cincy Brings Higher Math to Basketball By MITCHELL TENDLER WAS BOUND to happen. 1 Higher mathematics has finally found its depressing way into the sporting scene. Should this keep up, it will be just a matter of time before we discover our- selves doping out a daily double over a hot slide rule. Blame it all on Cincy Sachs. During an in- formal discourse on the fine art of Tendler basketball, Cincy said, in so many words, that the caliber of local basketball talent is inversely pro- portional to the economic condi- tion of the period in question. The game has deteriorated in the past 10 years, he maintained, because the present day youth "have it too easy." Sachs attrib- utes the decline to the abundance of cars, the "easy buck," and the luxurious life enjoyed by the youngsters of today.

Wed at Ellis Island • • • Coaching 30 Years OF ALL PEOPLE, Cincy should know. He broke into basketball in 1915 and is celebrating his 30th year of coaching. Cincy is a walking history book when the topic of Detroit basketball is mentioned. He has coached local quintets to 28 assorted champion- ships in recreation, state AAU, pro and industrial leagues. In between bites of a healthy corned beef sandwich, Cincy de- clared that the best teams were turned out during the depression. The reason for that, he said, was because they were "hungry" ball- players. There were not so many diversions and they trained hard, he continued. • • • Gussin Best . CINCY CONSIDERS Carl Gus- sip, who played from 1933-40 with the Hed-Aid and Dr. Toole clubs, as the finest player he has ever coached. Gussin has since be- come a dentist and is working out in Berkley. Other cagers Cincy had great respect for include Meyer "Suzy" Shechter, Dr. Bob Gunn, Jack Tucker, Paul McCall, Norm Barton, "Whip" Kautz, ' Lloyd Goldstein, Bobby Roth and Casey Lopata. Barton was the best pivot man, he observed. Cincy coached the late Detroit "Falcons" pro squad at the tail end of the 1947 season. He attributes pro basketball's debacle in the city to the lack of organi- zation. 'There were never the proper men in the administrat- tion," he said. "With the right administration and good ball players, pro basketball would go over here," he insisted. • • Two Israel-bound refugees from Shanghai, Mr. and Mrs. Jean Methner, witnessed the marriage of their son Harry, a resident of Rochester, N.

Austrians Pledge Property Return NEW YORK—(WNS)—Assur- ances of support for measures which would restore to the sur- viving Jews of Austria properties looted during the Nazi period, and which' would provide a measure of relief until such resti- tution can be affected, were given by leading Austrian cabinet mem- bers and political leaders to Max Isenbergh, counsel to the Euro- pean office of the American Jewish Committee. Isenbergh discussed with Aus- trian officials the plight of the 10,000-odd survivors of the pre- war Austrian Jewish population of 220,000. He pointed out that nearly all of the community had been through years in concentration camps, that many are unable to support themselves, and that re- lief facilities were maintained only with the aid of American organizations.
