The English - language "Soviet Weekly," printed in England, car- tied an article by Aaron Vergelis, editor of the Moscow-based Yid- dish "Soviet Homeland," which ex- pounds on the achievements of So- viet Jews. As usual, no mention was made of Soviet Jewish sports- men . . . Former USSR national 800-meter champion Abraham Kri- vosheyev, who ran against the United States in Los Angeles in July, was a member of a 3,200- meter relay team which established a Russian national record of 7:17.2. Krivosheyev handled the leadoff leg. * * • Another striking illustration of the growing popularity of the World Maccabiah Games is the an- nouncement that the West Coast chapter of the United States Com- mittee Sports for Israel. tradition- al sponsor of United States partici- pation, is determined to send 50 athletes to Tel Aviv in 1965. The West Coast was represented by 20 in 1961. Jane Katz recently completed a synchronized swimming tour of Tokyo.

He said that not a single Israeli school has a swimming pro- gram. Yet when Yale coach emeri- tus Bob Kiphuth was in Israel, he discovered 28 swimmers whom he felt had the potential to become champions. Dafni said the Israeli Army is not sports conscious—that it is in- terested only in those exercises which toughen. He said the Air Force is first awakening to the value of sports competition to de- velop quick reflexes. "We are still in the pioneer stages in sports," said Dafni. "Up to now we have had more important things to do." Dafni further noted that sports is helping to cut down juvenile delinquency. He pointed out that when the country was young the youth had much to occupy it. Now, sports is filling the void. Dafni also mentioned that Beer- sheba has a Little League—in soc- cer. Actually, Dafni is opposed to that sport. "You have 22 men chas- ing a ball and thousands watch- ing," he said.
