The Football Here's

In this country, keeps up his splendid
playing. In the now famous Harvard
Dartmouth battle which Horween's
squad won 10 to -, Miller had the
longest run of the game. Unfortunately
1T did not result In n score. Taking
ithe kick-off on his S-yard line, Al
'sprinted clear through the Dartmouth
,eleven and was headed to the goal line
,when Dooley Dartmouth Q. b ran
him out of bounds. Even Mt that Mil.
ler's run measured Gs yards.
s Berkowitz. right tackle of the Rnt-
gers team, was the only player of the
Rutgers team to cndanger the n. Y. U.
goal line after n run of 65 yards.
Benny Friedman, captain of the Mich
igan team. was three-Quarters of the
show in the Michigan victory over Hi
nois.
In the Columbia victory over the
Duke University team, Kaplan, Col
umbia's Jewish fullback, was the spark
that set the blue and white attack go
ing by scoring the first touchdown. The
other Columbia star beside Captain
Madden (who is not JEWISH. was our
own clever, dynamic leftback, Sesit. i.
Baruch. left half. saved the Princeton
Lehigh game for Princeton by inter
ccpting Lehigh pass on his own 81
yard line. Besides that Baruch was
very effective on the offensive helping
to score Princeton's only touchdown
and drop kicking the extra point by
which the game was won. . Rosen-
baum. fullback on the Penn. freshman
team. showed exceptionally flnc qunil-
ties in the game against Manlius Mill
tary school. Raskin, Rosncr, and
Josephberg were the whole show In tlr1
City College of New York's victory over
Rhode Island State. And so our
collegiates are on the way to make
history for Jewish athletics In their re-
spective universities.
julius kOhn, Victor
Julius Kohn, 19-year-old runner of
the New York Y. NJ. II. A., captured
first place in the biggest road race that
has ever been run in New York City
We say biggest road race because 113
runners finished the five and one-half
mile race, which was run in heavy
rain on slippery pavements. While
Kohn received handicap, he showed
enough class to assure him the respect
of the Brooklyn Harriers Athletic as
sociation. under whose auspices the
race took place. Among those de-
fcatcd by Kohn We're such veterans as
Bill Kennedy and Fred Travelena.
will Holman Keep 1t Up?
Nat Holman, considered the greatest
Jewish basketball player developed in
America is starting new season as
captain of the original Celtic basket
ball club. The Celtics have very i'm.
pressive record for the last half dozen
years, and Nat. who keeps in perfect
trim all year round declares himself
ready for another banner year. VIII
the veteran still show the way to all
the aspiring basketball champions?
Happy to Report ..
Billiards was never too strong n
sport among Jews. There was lack
of real billiard players among us. We
are glad to report that in New York
at least the three cushion game shows
evidence of II promising crop of real
billiard stars. Joseph Fisher and Ar
thur IIorowitz are the outstanding con
tenders for honor places in the biz
class of this sport. B. Gordon. on the
other hand, should be heard from as a
pocket billiard player of distinction.
Famous HakOah Coming Back
We are in position TO make def
mite announcement that the famous
Vienna HakOah soccer team will again
visit America in the spring of 1927
There have been various rumors and
various quarters, informing us that
the Hakoahs are coming. We did not
take any notice because we wanted to
he certain before advising you.
Now, however, you may know that
Nat Agar, the Jewish owner and man
ager of the Hakoah Wanderers, is
sponsoring and financing the next
Hakoah visit for which all arrange
ments are made. As soon as the
Austrian Football association will com
muncate its consent to DIR. Koerner,
president of the Hakoah Sport club the
dates of the American games will be
made public. Abram Tuvim. who man
aged the first American Ilakoah tour,
will also be the executive director of
next years visit.
