ZOA Teen Summer Camp
Closes Registration Early
NEW YORK—The ZOA Masada
-
Teen-Age Summer Camp at Mar
Silver, Israel, has completed reg-
istration and reached its full com-
plement.
In making the announcement,
Bernard M. Rifkin, chairman of
the National Zionist Organization
of America youth committee, said
that the early registration is in-
dicative of American Jewish
youths' and their parents' desire
to enjoy a summer camp exper-
ience in Israel.
Rifkin said that if there were
more dormitory space available on
the Kfar Silver campus for the
teen-age camp, "we could easily
sign up another several hundred
youths."
Last year, some 160 American
youths — the full complement —
attended the seven-week study and
travel program held on the cam-
pus of Kfar Silver Agricultural
High School, near Ashkelon, main-
tained and directed by the ZOA.
The ZOA Teen-Age Camp is for
boys and girls age 14-17. More
than 2,000 American high school
students have participated in the
ZOA camp, now in its '10th year.
When Tzu Lu asked about the
art of government, the Master re-
plied: "Be in advance of the
people; show them how to work."
On his asking for something more,
the Master added: "Untiringly."

Lost Athletes Sough t to Establish
a Maccabia Alumni Association
By JESSE H. SILVER
(Copyright 1971, JTA Inc.)
Jules Love, a stockbroker from
Philadelphia, is looking for lost
athletes.
The one-time Brandeis Univer-
sity basketball captain is a vice
president of the United States
Committee Sports for Israel,
which, since 1950, has sponsored
United States participation in the
World Maccabia Games. Prior to
that, American teams were spon-
sored by the National Jewish Wel-
fare Board.
"We're talking about some 600
athletes," Love said the other day.
"I want to find every athlete who
represented this country in the
Maccabia and then get them in-
volved in a United States Macca-
bia Alumni Association, like the
U.S. Olympians."
Love's job is a thankless one,
and not without problems. "Early
records for the American teams
in 1932, 1935, 1950 and 1953 either
don't exist any more, or are in-
complete," he said. "So I'm vir-
tually starting from scratch. It
requires perspiration and luck.
You have to keep digging."
"Take the 1932 Maccabia
team," Love said. "I ran into
someone who mentioned to me
that Sybil Koff — now Sybil
Koff Cooper — lived in New
York City and operated a cer-
amics shop in Greenwich Vil-
lage. Sybil was a sprinter-hurd-
ler on both the 1932 and 1935
teams. She was a National AAU
champion. Anyway, contact was
made with her and she was able
to give me the names and ad-
.
dresses of some of her team-
mates who are still alive. She
also was able to fill me in on
some of those who were de-
ceased."
"Tracing women athletes is the
hardest," he said, "because names
change with marriage. That's
where luck comes in. You need
someone to direct you."
Was there anything that sur-
prised Love in his searchings?
"Yes," he said, "the large
number of former Maccabians
that went into coaching. - The lat-
est is Dave Solomon, a swimmer
on the 1965 and 1969 teams. He's
currently the assistant swimming
coach at Kent State. And take
Royal Chernock, or gymnast Abie
Grossfeld of the 1953 team. Cher-
nock is up for selection as an as-
sistant track coach with the 1972
Olympic team, and Grossfeld al-
ready has been selected as men's
gymnastic coach for the Munich
Olympics."
Once the Maccabian Alumni As-
sociation is founded, it is Love's
intention for members to organize
and operate their own Israel-or-
iented programs and to have a say
in the direction and thrust of the
parent organization, the U.S. Com-
mittee Sports for Israel.
Love invites all readers of this
column to play detective with him.
Anyone who knows the whereabouts
of any former member of a United
States Maccabia Games team may
contact him in care of the United
States Committee, Sports for Israel,
Room 1501, Hotel New Yorker, 34th
St. and Eighth Ave., New York
City, N.Y., 10001.
