'Jewish Indians' in Sports Arenas
By JESSE SILVER
(Copyright, 1966, Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)
Karl Sweetan, the rookie quar-
terback of the Detroit Lions, has
many veteran football observers
convinced that he will make it big
in the National Football League.
Despite this high appraisal, Swee-
tan hadn't won for the Lions in
his first three starting assignments.
He did, however, gain a tie with
the Chicago Bears and make the
top-ten passing list of the NFL
after only two starts.
Sweetan had played but briefly
before he got his big chance as .a
sub for the injured Milt Plum in
a 45-14 loss to the Baltimore Colts.
He responded with a pass that
went- for a 99 yard TD, his first
touchdown pass in the NFL.
The following week, against San
Francisco, Sweetan had the game
won with 19 of 34 passes for 227
yards and two touchdowns. How-
ever, the 49ers came back to spoil
his first start, they scored the
winning TD with 51 seconds left
to play and won the game 24-20.
Sweetan is a 24-year-old blond
from Dallas, Texas. He goes six-
foot-one, 210 pounds, and has
played football all over the map.
He has shown his wares at Na-
varro Junior College, Texas A&M,
Wake Forest, the Toronto Argo-
nauts and last year with the Pon-
tiac Arrows of the Mid-West
League. •
Following a Detroit loss to Green
Bay 31-7, Parker coach Lombardi
said: "I think the boy (Sweetan)
has the chance to become a fine
long passer."
"I'm a German Jew," replied
Sweetan to a query about the
origin of his name, "with a little
Indian blood."
Ron Soble is another Jewish
Indian who is making it big these
days. Soble can be seen in the part
of Jim, a Sioux, on the ABC tele-:
vision program "The Monroes." In
his college days at Michigan, Soble
was an outstanding long jumper.
In 1951 he leaped 24'7 3/4", good
enough to make NCAA Honor Roll
and he ranked the No. 8 jumper
in the world by Track & Field
News.
Mike Stronberg, big defensive
end for the Temple Owls, accom-
plished every lineman's dream in a
game against Connecticut. He re-
covered a blocked punt in the end
zone to score a touchdown. Temple
heat Connecticut 35-25.
Sonny Werblin denies all stories
that he will sell the N.Y. Jets. At
present the president of the Jets
is especially proud of his son
Robert who has starred at half-
back for Peekskill Military Acad-
emy, in New York.
