'

Jewish Honors for 'Abe the Blinder'

By HASKELL COHEN

(eopyrightamm,Ine.)
Abe Margolies is a well-
known character around
New York City, now noted
for his philanthropic en-
deavors. In his youth Abe
thought of himself as a
pretty classy high school
basketball player. He was
offered a scholarship of
sorts to St. John's Univer-
sity, but couldn't accept it
because he didn't have the
carfare to make the round
trip.
He is now president of a
nationally recognized jew-
elry firm and owns Abe's
Steakhouse in Manhattan.
Abe is scheduled to be
honored_by the Friends of
Hebrew University, with all
proceeds to go toward schol-
arships in the name of the
11 Israeli athletes who were
killed in Munich. Late – in
January, the Max Kase
Bnai Brith Sports Lodge will
have Abe as its guest and
"Man of the Year."
One of Abe's customers a
few years ago was Tom
Hoover, who put in a stint
with the New York Knicks
as a center. Abe and Hoover
began arguing about basket-
ball, as is the wont when old
timers get together with
younger former players,
and Abe came out with the
amazing statement, "Even
at my age 'right now I can
beat you at 21" (a game
which consists of matching
set shots from different po-
sitions on the court.)
Hoover, who stands 6'10"
to Abe's barely 5'8", looked
down at the "aging" veter-
an in amazement and said,
"Man, you must have lost
your marbles. You are go-
ing to beat me in shooting?"
"Yes," Abe replied.
"Let's get a basketball and
I will show you right now
that I am a better man than
you are at 21."

place at a sporting goods
store at Madison Square
Garden where Abe pur-
chased a basketball for $28.
After finding a neighbor-
hood court, Abe, who wears
thick spectacles, turned to
Hoover and said, "Come on
out to the middle and point
me to the basket, I am
taking my glasses off."
You may have guessed
the conclusion of this in-
cident. What happened was
that Abe kept making his
outside set shot, hitting one
after the other to. the con-
sternation of Hoover. Hoo-
ver, at 6'10" is used to play-
ing under the basket, and
Abe insisted on keeping him
outside, and consequently,
he ran off 21 points on the
ex-All-American from Villa-
nova in a short period of
time.
The secretary of the Max
Kase Sports Lodge, Max
Taub, was Abe's book-
keeping teacher at James
Monroe High School and he
also coached basketball. He
told me that when Abe first
reported to him for basket-
ball practice he asked an-
other player, "What's that
set shooter's name? I don't
have him on my list."
It seems that Abe was
peppering the basket from
all angles and Coach Taub
was very much impressed.
The kid answered, "That's
Abe Blinder."
When the players lined up
to get their equipment,
Taub yelled, "Abe Blinder,
up forward." Nobody re-
sponded. Max looked at

JNF Gets Orders
for Cypress Trees.
From Christians

JERUSALEM (JTA)—
The Jewish National Fund
has received a number of
orders for cypress trees,
which serve as Christmas
trees in Israel, from foreign
newsmen stationed in Israel
who are now covering the
Cairo conference, among
them representatives of the
three large American TV
networks.
A pair of cypress trees
have been placed at the
good fence on the Lebanese
border to supply Christmas
trees to the population in
south Lebanon, diplomats,
UN officials and foreign
newsmen.

Margolies and said, "Hey, I
am talking to you. Isn't your
name Abe Blinder?"
Abe answered, "No,
Coach. My name is Abe
Margolies. The guys call be
Abe the Blinder because of
my eye glasses."
