The Games are the third largest international competition and are recog- nized by the International Olympic Committee. All U.S. participants are sponsored by the United States Committee Sports for Israel, headquar- tered in Philadelphia. "The development of a healthy mind in a healthy body is today, as 90 years ago, still one of the main goals of our Maccabi educa- tion and is being carried out faithfully," says Max Shel- don, 68-yar-old realtor from Farmington Hills and Michi- gan representative of the U.S. Committee Sports For Israel, who participated in the Games some 50 years ago. More important than the health aspect, however, is the emphasis on Jewish heri- tage and identification with the people and the land of Is- rael, Sheldon says. But while Sheldon likes to dwell on the history and cul- tural heritage aspects, the participants are quite natur- ally caught up in the aura of world-class competition (many for the first time). "I'm given an opportunity to compete on a much higher scale than I ever have be- fore," says Natalie Greenspan of Birmingham, a 17-year-old sprinter from De- troit Country Day School who last year competed in the National Maccabi Youth Games held here at the main Jewish Community Center. "We're given a chance to meet athletes from all over the world," she says. ". . I think it's going to be very . difficult competition. There will be a college people. I'm going to do the best I can. I'll run my best times and hope- fully that'll fare well with the competition." She expects to run in the 100 and 200 meter races and perhaps in the 440 and 880 relays and maybe the mile relay. Last year she was a member of the Country Day team that won the state Class C track championship. She has been accorded all- league, all-county and all- state honors. For Glen Zatz, 29-year-old rugby player from Dearborn Heights, the Maccabiah .Games in Tel Aviv "should be very interesting not only because of the competition, but because of all the histor- ical sights. We'll be in the homeland of the Jewish people. From what I under- stand they are planning a lot of events and tours of the country. That should be as interesting as the competi- tion." That aspect helped moti- vate Zatz to try out for the U.S. team, "and I wanted to see how good I was. I just wanted to see how I stacked up against other people — plus I'm not getting any younger. When you start to get around 30 you begin to notice yourself slowing down, so I figured if I ever am going to do it it would have to be this year." Zatz, an attorney with de- grees from the University of Michigan and Northwestern, won a spot on the rugby team after impressing during a three-day tryout in Chicago this spring. "They put you through a series of conditioning tests
