Israel by the U.S. Committee on
Sports for Israel, has been elected
president of that organization for
a two-year term. The committee

in t949 to develop a program of
basketball for the new nation.
Today, basketball in Israel is sec-
only to soccer in popularity.
Known as "Mr. Basketball" dur-
ing his days with the Original
Celtics and as coach at CCNY,
Holman, 73, gave up college coach-
ing in 1960. In 361/2 years, he com-
piled a 422-188 record. The greatest
player of his era, he produced
teams at CCNY that were always
considered among the best in the
nation. He has been president of
the National Collegiate Coach:,s-
Association, and in 1949 - 50 became
the only coach to win both the
NCAA and NIT titles in the same
season. Holman has also served
as physical education director of
New York City's 92nd Street
YMIIA, and in 1968 was the first
non-alumnus voted into the CCNY
Athletic Hall of Fame.
