held recently at Kutcher's
Country Club in Monticello,
N.Y., was a smashing suc-
cess. Not only did the
coaches get along famously,
but the press took to the co-
alition very favorably.
Ed Krinsky, the associate
coach of the U.S. Maccabiah
Basketball team in 1977,
who was in attendance for a
short period of time at the
Dial affair, was on the "To-
day Show" prior to his de-
parture for Egypt where he
will serve as coach of all of
the Egyptian National
teams including the men,
women, and youth.
It was the unanimous

opinion of both the Egyp-
tian and Israeli coaches that
if there was no interference
from "above" in both coun-
tries, the sportsmen of the
respective ex-warring na-
tions would get along fabul-
ously.
Krinsky was well re-
ceived on his arrival in
Egypt and immediately
went to work with the
various teams which will
be under his guidance
during his two month
stay in that country. He
presented a new film by
Lou Carnesecca, coach of
St. John's quintet, who
has been very good to the
Israeli coaches over the
years, as a gift from the
U.S.
This is the time of year
that the Israeli National
Basketball League awak-
ens and sends shlikhim to
the U.S. to try and corral
whatever talent is avail-
able, both Jewish and non-
Jewish. As of this writing,
there are three representa-
tives from top teams in the
National League seeking
either players or, in the case
of the renowned Maccabi
Tel Aviv five, a new coach.
It appears that Coach
Ralph Klein, who led the
Maccabi five to a European
championship two years ago
and had that club reach the
European finals against
Russia, which Israel lost
last year, is going- to take a
leave of absence. Klein, who
has visisted the United
States and worked under
our best coaches for a period
of some 17 years, will be
taking his leave of absence
in order to concentrate on
his duties as head coach of
the Israel National Team.
The understanding is
that the job will only be good
for one year, as Klein is
definitely slated to return to
the Maccabi delegation.

tein, won the first match
ever by an Israeli at
Wimbledon in June.
Shlomo upset the tennis
fraternity gathered for
the competition when he
defeated the internation-
ally renowned Raoul
Ramirez, and then went
on to give Bjorn Borg, the
ultimate winner of the
tournament, a tough run
before yielding. _
At the conclusion of the
tourney in Wimbledon,
Glickstein won the All-
England Plate, which is
open to players who are be-
aten in the first and second
rounds of the main draw, a
big first for Israel.
Glickstein has made
amazing strides in the pro-
fessional tennis world, mov-
ing, during the past year,
from the 283rd position, up
to 81st place. As a result of
his win over Ramirez, he
has gained several points in
international competition
and undoubtedly will move
up when the new ratings -
come out.
Israel's team in the Hand-
icapped Olympics which
were held recently in the
Netherlands, were very
productive so far as medals
were concerned. The Is-
raelis returned home with a
total of 46 medals, including
13 gold. The basketball
team and the volleyball
team were among the gold
winners.
The 11.ndicapped basket-
ball team will be making a
tour of the United States
commencing in October
under the aegis of the U.S.
Committee Sports for Is-
rael. Basically the team will
be playing in Jewish Wel-
fare Board centers and since
they are a gold medal win-
ner, will offer competition to
anyone in this particular
type of basketball.
The Hapoel Yehud soccer
team, which visited this
country to play games
against the American Soc-
cer League elevens, turned
out to be a dud so far as put-
ting any scores on the board.
In three . games played in
Charlotte, N.C., Cleveland,
and Allentown, Pa., the Is-
raelis failed to boot the ball
into the net even one time.
While 8,600 people
attended the game in Char-
lotte, it developed that the
North Carolina city has a
franchise coming up in next
year's American Softer
League make-up and the
promoters there gave away
thousands of tickets in order
to stimulate interest.
