TOKYO—Among the things your
correspondents will long remember
about the 1964 Olympics were: Al-
lan Rosenberg, coach of the gold
medal Vesper Boat Club eight of
Philadelphia, running the last 400-
meters along the shore of the
pitch-black Toda Rowing Course,
so that he could see the finish of
the race ... Israeli athletes, seated
between Iraq and Lebanon in the
Olympic Village dining room . : .
Chaim Glovinsky, secretary of the
s- Israeli Olympic Committee, press-
ing for International Olympic Com-
mittee action on the boycott of Is-
rael from the Mediterranean Games
by the Arabs : . . The dejection on
the face of world 400-meter free-
style swimming recordholder Mari-
lyn Ramenofsky after she missed
winning a gold medal by just a few
feet. Marilyn remained in the wa-
ter fully 10 minutes after the firial.
The exuberance of sprinter Ger-
ry Ashworth, who won a gold med-
al on the 400-meter relay team
. . . Jim Bregman, winner of a
bronze medal in judo, showing up
at the NBC-TV studios in his uni-
form and with his medal for a
telecast back to the United States
. . . Isaac Berger, silver medal
winner in the featherweight
weightlifting, who fell short of the
880 total he predicted he would
lift in Tokyo . . . Nat Fleischer, in
his 70s, running around the lobby
of the Otani Hotel like a young
bantamweight . . . the confusion
created _ by the presence of two
Murray Roses, one the Jewish AP
sportswriter, and the other the '
Australian Olympic gold medalist-
turned-TV personality . . . Shot-
putter-discus thrower Gideon Ariel,
marching into the National Stadi-
um carrying the Mogen David at
the ,lead of the Israeli delegation.

"What do I do now for an en-
core?" said Allan Rosenberg, two
days after his Vesper eight won a
gold medal. "Do I continue with
coaching, or do I spend some time
on my legal profession? At this
time I lust don't know what to do.
The let down has set in."
Rosenberg revealed that he re-
ceived some 25 cables from around
the world following the Vesper
victory. One was from Princess
Grace of Monaco, whose brother.

sors Vesper. Another came from
Allan's twin brother in New York.
and was short and to the point. It
said merely: "I knew you could do
it all the time." But the cable that
gave Al his biggest chuckle came
from his mother. It said: "Con-
gratulations. Please don't forget'
the pearls."
Allan said that the victory of
the American eight was particular-
ly pleasing to most European na-
tions. "Athletes from several of
the countries came over to me in

Answer to queries: No, gold

and Dick Roth (individual medal
in swimming) are not Jewish . . .
The Israeli delegation and other
Jewish Olympians were tendered
an official reception during the
Games at the Tokyo Jewish Com-
munity Center . . . The Interna--
tional Maccabiah Games Commit-
tee, with members from all parts
of the world, held its annual meet-
ing in New . York on November 6.
Discussed, among many other
items, was a suggestion that ath-
letes be allowed to walk into the
stadium arm-in-arm, a la the Tokyo
Olympic closing ceremonies, for
the Seventh Maccabiah Games
closing ceremonies, instead of be-
hind their national standards. It- 1
sounds like a wonderful idea, espe-
cially in view of its success in
Tokyo.
