oward Golding's sec-
ond stint as varsity
basketball coach at
Oak Park High School began
with a pair of upsets.
The Redskins, a strong but
erratic team last season,
opened on Dec. 2 with a 58-56
win over traditional Class A
power Birmingham Brother
Rice. The win gave the Red-
skins a No. 5 ranking in Class
B in one of the major state
polls.
The rating was a tribute,
but also a curse to Golding.
He felt it would inspire War-
ren High, Oak Park's Dec. 6
opponent.
"It gives them everything
to look forward to — to knock
us off. And also it sends a
message to the (Oak Park)
kids, that they may be better
than what they really are."
Golding's fears were borne
out when the host Orioles
dropped • the Redskins, 69-66
in overtime. Oak Park trailed
by 12 points midway through
the fourth quarter, but rallied
and tied the game on Michael
Caine's basket with one se-
cond left.
The Redskins then dropped
a Dec. 9 game at Southgate
Aquinas, 60-46. Oak Park's
win over Brother Rice show-
ed that the Redskins could
beat a taller team. The War-
riors boast a 6-10 center and
a pair of 6-5 forwards. Oak
Park starts two 6-4 post
players, seniors Caine and
Michael Odden. The wings
are junior Marcus Iverson
and sophomore Herb Taylor.
Junior Galen Giles starts at
point guard. A pair of 6-4
players come off the bench:
senior Steven Danner and
junior Andre Searcy.
"It was a great win to beat
Brother Rice," said Golding
before the Warren game. "It
was something that I dream-
ed about forever . . . My kids
played good, but we have a lot
of room for improvement."
Oak Park relies on speed
and quickness. "We start
with pressing," said Golding,
who first coached Oak Park
from 1975-77. "We try to con-
trol the tempo of the game
right off the bat. I use dif-
ferent kinds of presses. If
one's not working then I go to
another one."
The Redskins use a variety
of zones with the emphasis on
aggressive defense. "We trap
in the corners," Golding ex
plained. "We do a lot of
creative things. We basically

shut off the paint . . . In our
first game we had seven
blocked shots in the paint. So
they get intimidated coming
into the paint. The kids jump
really well. It forces you to
play on the perimeter- and it
forces you to shoot the outside
shot, which basically allows
me to get the defensive re-
bound. When we whip it off,
we run:'
Golding uses multiple of-
fenses. "For everything you
do, I'll make an adjustment.
Basically it becomes a chess
game. You vs. me. And it's just
a matter of how I manipulate
the kids. The purpose of me as
the coach is to put these kids
in a position to win. Prepare
them and put them in a posi-
tion to win."
Winning will not be easy in
the Suburban Athletic
League. Five of the league's
seven teams were ranked in
the top ten in their respective
classes in at least one of the
two major polls last week:
Oak Park, Highland Park,
Willow Run, Inkster and
Robichaud. River Rouge and
Ecorse round out the league.
The Redskins open their
league season against Inkster
at home tonight.
"It's an unbelievable
basketball league," said
Golding. "We're going to lose
some. You can't go through
that kind of schedule without
a loss?'

Israelis Attend
Center Opening

Jerusalem (JTA) — Two
Hebrew University professors
this week attended the in-
auguration of the Center for
Jewish Studies in Budapest.
The first institution of its
kind in Eastern Europe, it
was founded in 1987 as a joint
venture of the New York-
based Meinorial Foundation
for Jewish Culture and the
Hungarian Academy of
Sciences.
The Center for Jewish
Studies does academic
research, issues publications
and performs archival work,
according to Philip Klutznick,
chairman of the executive
committee of the Memorial
Foundation.
The center is directed by Dr.
Geza Komorczy, who visited
the Hebrew University a year
ago to take part in a seminar
on the economic history of
Jews in Hungary.

chairman of the Institute of
