But baseball will have to share some of the limelight with the development of the U.S. teams that will participate in Israel's Maccabiah games Sept. 20-29. Judging from the plans of the U.S. Committee, which is spon- soring the American team, the publicity will be coming fast and furious along about the end of the summer. The intention is not only to end a team to Israel but the competitive squad is also sched- uled to be accompanied by some of the leading Olympic stars who captured championships at Hel- sinki. They'll give exhibition performances as a side attrac- tion. Those who make the actual American team (the total should number close to 80) will have an exciting experience to look for- ward to. It is three years since the last Maccabiad in Israel, and the athletes who took part are still talking about their trip. 11N. 2-8346 Sincere Holiday Good Cheer CASSINO PIZZERIA • Delicious PIZZA PIES • Famous /talion Foods • Corry-Out Service • We Cater to Parties Complete Dinners — Ravioli — Lasagna — Dumplings UN. 1, 9669 12907 W.

A favorite, of course, will be the Brandeis University team. The squad, under the guidance of coach Benny Friedman, has been steadily pushing ahead and 1953 may be an important season in de- termining its future. The con- troversy over whether to play on the Sabbath appears to have died 'quietly and chanceS are that Saturday football games will once again be on the calendar. The situation in basketball will be somewhat similar to foot- ball. There were enough good undergraduates on the nation's college courts this past season to indicate a repeat performance in the 1953-54 campaign .
