DETROIT
Masters Tennis Tourney
Set For Israel Maccabiah
ALAN HITSKY
Associate Editor
M
ax Sheldon knew
Detroit should host
a regional qualify-
ing tournament for the
United States' Maccabiah
masters tennis team.
And he knew just whom to
see.
Mr. Sheldon is a board
member of the U.S. Mac-
cabiah Committee. And he is
a member of the Detroit
Tennis Club in Farmington
Hills. Getting those two
organizations in partnership
has led to a Sept. 18-20 tour-
nament here for Jewish
tennis players age 35 and
up.
Semi-finalists and finalists
in each age category qualify
for a national tournament in
Philadelphia in January.
The winners will compete for
the - United States at the
14th Maccabiah Games in
Israel next summer.
This isn't just another
tennis tournament to Mr.
Sheldon and Al Gross, who is
helping with the Detroit
qualifier. The two expect the
qualifying entrants to con-
tinue to the Philadelphia
tournament and to go to
Israel if they make the U.S.
team.
There is no funding help
from Maccabi. In fact, U.S.
How about giving them
something they'll never ask for.
Bless 'em.
It seemed as soon as they could talk,
they started asking you for the moon. And as sure
as the sun rises in the east, you were there to provide it.
Well now you can give them something that's truly
out of this world. . . a subscription to The Detroit Jewish News.
And when they ask you how come? Tell them
that The Detroit Jewish News is the largest Jewish weekly
in the nation. And that every week award winning
journalists write about national and international events with
caring and sensitivity. Or, that The Jewish News is the
best way to find out about local and community news.
After all these years of giving your kids the sun,
the moon and the stars, give them something that
will enrich their world. The Detroit Jewish News.
You couldn't ask for a better gift.

"We are looking for people
who will follow through if
they win," said Mr. Gross.
"We want them to go on to
I
Israel."
Said Mr. Sheldon, "The
real purpose is to show sup-
port for Israel. The Maccabi
World Union is really an ex-
tension of the Zionist move-
