"Probably over 275 (yards). His irons are extremely long as well. He can hit a four-iron about 200. But that's also his weakness because he can't keep it straight. His distance and power are phenomenal; it's his control that he's hav- ing a little trouble with. That's just a young player. What I've learned in the past is that you don't want to in- hibit the distance, but we want to encourage the control so that he might lose 10 yards on some of his irons, but he'd increase his accuracy and make his scores come down a lot easier . . . He's got a great future, no question about it, because he's got the physical attributes to be a fine golfer. He's just got to refine 'ern." Modell Scores Links Success Cranbrook High junior J.J. Modell, a second-year varsity golfer, is having a good year for a strong Cranes' squad. He shoots about 40-41 for a nine-hole round, with a low score of 39. He shot an 80 in the 18-hole Oakland County tournament, in which Cran- brook took fifth. "He's a very good player," says Cranbrook coach Delvin Walden. "He is our third man." Modell's strength, says Walden, is not - his technical skill, but his attitude. "He's just very dedicated to the • game. He works at it very hard. When he knows that things are going wrong, he wants to correct it. He's not the kind of player who says, `Well, that's the way it is.' He will try to identify the pro- blem and do something about it. Either asking us as coaches to help him or going to . . . a professional who might be able to help him:' Link adds that Modell is "a good putter."

Gilbert Wins Bronze Medal Professional tennis star Brad Gilbert was a co-winner of a bronze medal in the recently-completed Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea, last week. Gilbert shared third place with Sweden's Stefan Edberg. Miroslav Mecir of Czechoslovakia beat American Tim Mayotte to win the gold. Gilbert was one of two Jewish American athletes to win an Olympic medal. Swimmer Dara Thrres also won a bronze in the 400-meter freestyle relay. Gilbert was selected for the team early in the year, based on his top-10 world ranking. Injuries hampered Gilbert this summer. Many question- ed the early selection process which tabbed Gilbert, noting the recent rise of teenage phenom Andre Agassi to number four in the world rankings. But Gilbert's suc- cess in Seoul showed that the 1981 Maccabiah Games silver medalist is back on track. These were the first Olym- pics in which tennis was a medal sport. All of the world's top professionals were eligible to compete, although, as with all Olympic events, no prize money was awarded. I NEWS I Weisenthal Center Will Honor Reagan Los Angeles — President and Mrs. Reagan will be in Los Angeles on Oct. 30 to ac- cept the 1988 Humanitarian Award of the Simon Wiesen- thal Center. At the same dinner, Nazi- hunter Wiesenthal will be honored on his 80th birthday, with British actor Ben Kings- ley serving as the evening's master of ceremonies. Among the dinner chairmen are actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and TV personality Barbara Walters. The award to the president will recognize his staunch support of Israel, his personal commitment to the cause of Soviet Jewry and his efforts to prevent nuclear war, said Rabbi Marvin Hier. Reagan, speaking just one week before the national elec- tion, is expected to talk for 15 minutes on a topic relevant to the concerns of the Jewish community. The First Lady will receive the Center's first Beit Hash- ° ah/Museum of Tolerance award.
