The Israeli National Bas-
ketball Team came, they
saw, they conquered. For a
group of boys who virtually
were pulled out of the front
lines, they did exceptionally
well, completing their U. S.
tour with an 8-4 record
against fair opposition. In
the only tough game, against
the Marathon Oilers, the Na-
tional Amateur Champs, they
were beaten badly at 112-83.
In other games the Israelis
lost one against Rockhurst
in Kansas City by four
points, against Siena in Al-
bany they were trounced by
six, and in a tilt against
former pros in Cincinnati
they were downed by 11.

HOLLYWOOD — Although
actor Raymond Buir is not
of Jewish origin, he and his
brother Edmond requested a
rabbi to participate - in an
ecumenical memorial service
for their mother, Minerva
Burr, who died recently at
age 81.
Dr. Max Nussbaum of
Hollywood's Temple Israel
was asked by the- Burrs to
co-officiate at the service
following burial of their
mother by an Episcopal min-
ister. The brothers explained
that their mother, a profes-
sional organist, often played
in synagogues, as well as
churches, and, there was
genuine'respect for all faiths
in her home. Rabbi Nuss-
baum recited passages from
Scripture and, at the request
of the family, the Kadish.

—
an all-star aggregation in
Jackson Heights, Long Is-
land, they zipped to a 40
point win, and in Rochester,
N. Y., they zonked the local
university by 42 points.
Perhaps the most humor-
ous situation of the whole
tour developed in. the Jack-
son Heights Jewish Commu-
nity Center at a* breakfast
provided the team by the lo-
cal Jewish community. While
the tables were being set up
in the dining room adjoining
the sanctuary, Nat Holman,
president of the United
States Committee Sports for
Israel, moved the team to the
hallway between the dining
hall and synagogue and gave
the boys a clinic.
Nat had seen the boys in
action the night before and
had some suggestions to make
concerning their play. Get the
picture now. The team, Nat,
and bystanders were wear-
ing skullcaps, and a,s the boys
listened eagerly, Holman piv-
oted and pirouetted in differ-
ent areas clutching his falling
yarrnulka as he went through
his gyrations. The old master
was in his Celtic day form as
he demongtrated different
plays and the remarks were
serious in content. The boys
as well as by-standers, includ-
ing this write r, virtually
rolled on the floor in delight
watching the greatest player
of all time expound on the
delicate points of the game.
Perhaps the warmest ex-
perience was encountered as
the team emerged from the
Kansas City airport close to
midnight on a Sunday eve-
ning. Despite the late hour
a group of youngsters, led
and organized by Rabbi
Radzik, greeted them with
hora dancing and lilting Is-
raeli songs of the day. Coach
Al Hemmo was so touched
that he began to cry and the
team as a whole repeatedly
thanked and blessed the
youngsters for their boachem
le-shalom. Included among
the welcoming party was the
Mayor Pro-Tern of the city,
Richard Berkley, as well as
Councilman Joel Palofsky,
and many officials from
Rockhurst College, a Catho-
lic institute.

On the subject of Israelis
and sports, a Sabra has
emerged as the idol of Jai-
Alai followers in Miami.
Joey Cornblit, the offspring
of Israeli parents who had
emigrated to Miami, is the
•darling of bettors at the
Miami Fronton. Joey, a 17-
year-old high school senior,
may be the first American
professional Jai-Alai player
to make it big. He started
playing at the age of 13 and
caught the eye of promoter
Stanley Berenson, who could
not believe that he was the
discoverer of an American
player, let alone a Sabra who
had moved from Israel.
Berenson had Joey study
at his Jai-Alai school in
Spain while Joey was an 11th
grader. In the summer of '72,
Cornblit was placed in com-
petition against veteran Bas-
ques, whO dominate the
game. It was ridiculous to
see the raw rookie enter
play as a 3-2 favorite his
first time out. Joey won 5
of his first 15 matches, which
