Hall of Fame. "I'm very
happy to see the formation of
the Hall of Fame to begin
with. It's something that was
long overdue. Jewish athletes
need to be recognized and
there needs to' be encourage-
ment for youngsters to com-
pete in sports.
"I've been in athletics all
my life ... Being in sports
has opened a lot of doors for
me."
Krieger, a graduate of
Northwestern High School in
Detroit, won the National
Collegiate Athletic Associa-
tion foil championship in
1942. He was Wayne's cap-
tain in 1940, 1941 and 1942.
In 1957 he won the Mac-
cabiah Games sabre title. He
fenced foil, sabre and epee in
winning 55 state and Mid-
west championships. In 1974
he was elected to the Michi-
gan Amateur Sports Hall of
Fame and in 1976 he was one
of the six original inductees
to the Wayne State Hall of
Fame.
Krieger said he quite fenc-
ing in the late 1960s, but he
continued to officiate in the
sport until several years ago.
Sachs spent 50 years teach-
ing basketball to Michigan
youth. But it didn't seem that
long, he said in a 1971 Asso-
ciated Press interview, "be-
cause I kept busy and enjoyed
it."
It was 1917 that Sachs,
then 15, came to Detroit.
Four years later he was
coaching his first team and
before he was through his
teams had won 28 cham-
pionships and accumulated a
782-158 record.
Sachs' basketball clinics
touched about every hamlet
in .Michigan. Players under
his tutelage went on to be-
come standouts in colleges
and universities. Among the
standout pupils were Lloyd
Goldstein, who played on the
1936 U.S. Olympic team; Red
Carty and Jo Schwall, who
both played pro ball many
years ago; Leo Beebel who
became a Ford Motor Co. vice
president after starring at
Michigan; Byron "Susie"
Schecter, Howard McCarthy
and Bobby Roth of Wayne
University.
In 1945 Sachs coached the
Detroit Falcons of the newly-
formed NBA. It was one of
nine charter members. Before
that he coached HED-AID, an
independent team in a league
of pro clubs which included
entries from Chicago,
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Toledo
and Akron.
Sachs once said he learned
all he knew about basketball
from "the school of hard
knocks" and he never had
any coaching. He played on a
semi-pro team when he was
20, "playing over my head,"
he said.
The game improved tre-
mendously, he said; because
of better coaching. "The balls
are even rounder," he said. "I
remember we used to have to

put the stem in the bladder
and blow up the ball each
time we wanted to play. Then
we'd put a rubber band
around it and lace the ball
up. Balls weren't round and
they were larger."
Sachs coached at Lawrence
Tech for four years, achieving"
a 56-28 record. His teams
also won seven Michigan
Amateur Athletic Union
championships. He served
basketball as a player,
teacher, tournament promo-
ter, coach, Detroit Pistons'
scout, and a referee in
amateur, semi-pro and pro
levels. He was elected to the
Michigan Sports Hall of
Fame in 1973.
Among those present at the
MJSHF dedication were
Alvin Foon, the organiza-
tion's president and founder;
William Jacobs and Robert A.
Steinberg, vice presidents;
treasurer Seymour Brode,
executive director Milton
Fishman, assistant executive
director Doris August, public
relations director Jim
Grossman, board members
and other dignitaries, as well
as the public.
"We would like to thank
the Jewish community for
their support in making this
dedication a reality," Foon
said. "May the achievements
of the present and future in-
ductees be an inspiration to
our young people. We are
pleased, very proud, and ex-
tremely happy."

priate means for sending
