The basketball season is
well under way in Israel,
whereas only the pros are
active in the States thus far.
Basketball is becoming a
nine-month-a-year operation
in Israel, and exceeds in
duration even the lengthy
NBA campaign which is
beginning to pall on some of
the fans in the United
States.
In the first international
game played thus far, Tel
Aviv Hapoel walloped the
Greek Panatinaikos team
by 19 points. But in the
return match in Athens,
Panatinaikos whipped Hap-
oel by 20 points, eliminating
them from the Cup-to-Cup
series. The game ended in a
near riot when the Israelis
threatened bodily harm to
the Romanian referee, the
chief official, who they
claimed, "stole” the game
from them. Hapoel had
been leading through most
of the contest.
Meanwhile, Maccabi Tel
Aviv, Israel's premier
team, is preparing to defend
its European championship
in the Federation Cup play.
In order to strengthen the
club, which was weakened
by the departure of Lou Sil-
ver, who came back to the
United States for a knee
operation, the Maccabi club
signed Bob Fleisher, for-
merly of Duke University
and a member of the United
States 1973 Maccabia team..
Fleisher spent the last sea-
son playing in Italy and was
lured away with a lucrative
contract by the Israeli
team.
It appears that he
reported out of shape, hav-
ing gained quite a bit of
weight, and the Maccab-
beans are, to say the least,
very much disappointed in
his showing thus far. It is
their opinion that if Lou Sil-
ver, who is back in Israel,
doesn't start playing
shortly, they will have diffi-
culty in defending their
championship. In addition to
Silver being out with an
injury, Eric Nfinkin, another
U.S. 1973 Maccabia star,
has been sidelined with an
injury which was sustained
during the 1977 Maccabia
Games.
Tal Brody, who was look-
ing forward •to retirement
this year, has found it nec-
essary to return to the Mac-
cabi club to bolster the
backcourt. Brody is doing
exceptionally well in the
sporting goods business,
and, quite frankly, is a little
tired of playing due to the
fact that both his legs are
giving him trouble. How-
ever, he is loyal to the team
which made it possible for
him to get started in busi-
ness when he first settled in
Tel Aviv.
An interesting note con-
cerning the European
championship is that Rus-
sia, supposedly, in prepara-
tion for the 1980 Olympics in
Moscow, has decided to
abstain from European Cup
play this year. The National
Team will be visiting the
United States under its Jew-
i G
.01.1
(‘•
ish coach, Gomulsky, and
will play some of the
tougher American college
quintets rather than meet-
ing the top European cup
contestants.
Ernie Grunfeld, the only
Jewish player in the NBA,
is off to a good start with
the Milwaukee Bucks. He is
being used both at guard
and forward positions and is
averaging between 18 and 24
points a game. In addition,
he is scoring in double fig-
ures, and in general living
up to expectations.
The Youth Branch of the
Riverdale Jewish Center in
New York has come up with
an excellent idea for helping
the plight of Soviet Jewry.
On Nov. 19-20 (Saturday
night and Sunday), the
youth group is holding an 18-
hour Chai basketball mara-
thon in order to raise money
for Soviet Jewry.
