The little state of Israel
may haver:to borrow a bas-
ketball player or two or three
from the U. S. to compete in-
ternationally, but when it
comes to soccer, forget it.
Israel can more than hold its
own on the pitch and showed
its prowess when the National
team zonked a U.S.A. All-
Star eleven 3-1 in Jaffa's
Bloomfield Stadium.
Mark you, after lack of
practice and get together
since before the Yom Kippur
War, Israel's finest, fresh
from the firing line, com-
bined to trounce a select
American eleven. The contest
marked the resumption of

sports competition in the be-
leaguered Holy Land.
As they say in Israel, Kol

Federation and the U. S.
Committee Sports for Israel
for sending the American
team to play before the cease
fire had taken effect.
Israel is finding it more
difficult each month to com-
pete against foreigners. Al-
most every European coun-
try begs off in hosting Israe-
lis because of the high cost
involved in security. Con-
versely, the fear of possible

scares these same Continental
teams from visiting Israel,
so that ultimately Israel's

SET YOUR SAILS FOR A NEW ADVENTURE IN DINING

MISHMASH: Dave Zinkoff,
announcer for Philadelphia
NBA games since the incep-
tion of the pro loop, is being
honored shortly in Kansas
City and Omaha by hoop fans
for his excellent announcing
and devotion to the game.
The Zink, as he is referred to
around the circuit, has a
unique manner of announcing
that has been copied by many
but mastered by none. Over
the years Zink has given
away thousands of salamis at
Philly Warrior and 76ers
games. Yes, salamis. During
half-time there is a draw,

to watch the exhuberance dis-
played by Zink's salami win-

bers are announced to un-
derstand his popularity.
At one time, one of the
networks threatened to can-
cel Philly from the N.B.A.

Zink's salami draw was
dropped. A review of the
Zinky Special resulted in a
stay of execution and the
Zink proudly announced his
salami draw nation-wide with
the eventual approval of the
network game director.
Don't think Zinkoff's work
has gone unnoticed. In addi-
tion to the honor to be be- I

get outside competitors to

far, except for the U. S. soc-

resistance to this sort of
thinking.

defend their land, their cul-
