Jews Disproving Samuel's Theory that Concept of Sports Is Gentile By HAROLD U. RIBALOW (Copyright, 1961, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) participated in the Games. One of them was Dick Savitt, the great tennis player and former Wimbleton champion. Another intriguing aspect of the games was the performance of Michael Wittenberg, who won the light - heavyweight championship in the Greco- Roman style. Young Wittenberg is the son of Henry Wittenberg, the former Olympic wrestling champion who also starred in two Maccabiahs. There were 40,000 persons in attendance at the final cere- mony at the Ramat Gan Sta- dium, which is far less impres- sive than many American sport- ing arenas, but carries within it the spirit df the people of Israel. At this ceremony, Mike Herman, who used to perform for NYU, was honored as the best athlete at the Games. Nearly a decade ago, the noted Jewish writer and think- er, Maurice Samuel, wrote a book, "The Gentleman and the Jew," in which he said that the concept of sports is gentile and not Jewish; that the idea of "playing the game" is, really, alien to Jewish philosophy. But the Maccabiah Games in Israel are considered the Jew- ish Olympics. And the sixth Maccabiah Game s, held at Ramat Gan Stadium recently, reflected the ability of Jewish athletes all over the world. There were athletes from 26 countries (about 1,300 of them) and they were impressed by Israel and the quality of the Israeli stars. The United States won 58 gold medals, but Israel took 29 gold medals, which is Egypt's pleasure - loving an- a pretty good showing. Jewish players from America cients decorated their tombs with who, in the past had tenuous pictures of parties—they hoped Jewish connections, proudly- the fun would go on forever. PERRI'S PERRI'S .
