has been selected as a
trainer. He is a physical
therapist.
Unlike at the Olympics
where athletes are housed
according to national team,
billeting arrangements for
the Maccabiah Games are
done by sport — track and
field athletes will be living
with other track and field
athletes from around the
world, etc. That has some of
the athletes excited.
"That's wonderful, because
people with like interests
from all over the world can
get together," says Olds, a
marathoner who also com-
peted in the Games four
years ago. "There is a lot of
interaction. I enjoyed that
part of it."
Says Jay Robinson: "The
kids are housed by sport. I
think that's critical. If you're
an Anierican basketball
player you're billeted with
all basketball players. You
can mix with Jewish kids
from all the other countries.
From a standpoint of cul-
tural content, nothing can
top five kids from different
countries having coffee and
sitting around talking to
each other. It's unique in any
international competition. I
think it's great."
And, he added with a
laugh, "And all Jewish kids
win medals."
Olds, 23, finished second in
the half marathon (13.1
miles) in the 1981 Games
and the American team took
the gold medal. At that time
he had just finished his
sophomore year at Princeton
University. Now he teaches
English at Cranbrook School.
"When I was there four
years ago there was better
competition than I expected,"
he said, pulling from a re-
servoir of experience most of
the other Michigan athletes
would undoubtedly like to
have. "... When I went the
first time I didn't know how
big and important the Games
are, but it is a very high
level of competition and
organization. I was kind of
overwhelmed by it ... Know-
ing what to expect I think
will help me a lot."
A Pittsburgh native, Olds
came to Michigan in 1983.
That year he won the Detroit
Free Press marathon. Before
that his career highlight was
second in the Penn Relays in
the 5,000-meter race while at
Princeton. The Free Press
Marathon was his first seri-
ous marathon, he says, and
it qualified him for the
Olympic trials. He didn't do
well in those, but he did
finish seventh later in the
Boston Marathon.
Some of the competitors
have been to Israel before,
like Olds and Robinson, but
there's an awful lot to see
and do.
"It's human nature that
when you're 18 or 19 and
you make the team you're
there to ... compete," Robin-
son says, "but along with the
competition is a great deal of
cultural content."
Some sightseeing, he says,
is built into the trip.
Brose, a furniture man-
ufacturer's representative,
"Nothing can top
five kids from
different countries
having coffee and
sitting around
talking to each
other."
has been to Israel with his
wife Marilyn, but not as a
competitor.
"I almost went twice be-
fore," he says, referring to
Maccabiah opportunities. "In
the 45-and-over (tennis) di-
vision I almost went four
years ago, but I had gone
over there two weeks prior
with my family so I didn't
want to go right back. Then
four years ago I almost went
again but something else
came up. We love Israel and
like going back there. Obvi-
ously it would be a great
honor to win a gold medal in
the Maccabiah Games."
Brose was ranked sixth in
the country among tennis
players 55 and over two
years ago. He says by today's
standards he started tennis
late, while a freshman at
Central High School in De-
troit. He went on to star at
Michigan State, winning a
Big Ten title in 1951. He
was a state champion three
times and city champ five
times. He also took three
Michigan squash cham-
pionships and at one time in
the early 1960s held state
tennis and squash crowns at
the same time. Brose also
has two national seniors
doubles titles to his credit,
one at 45-and-over and an-
other at 50-and-over.
"I really love competing,
more than the game itself,"
he says. "One of the joys of
tennis, starting at age 35, is
