OSOpher, Moses MaimOnideS, bet
ter known as the "Rambam."
In 1887 we paid tribute to the
great historian, Josephus, born
eighteen centuries ago; at the
same time we celebrated the fifth
centenary of the great scholar and
leader, Don Isaac Abarbanel, and
also the first centennial of the
birth of the beloved Rabbi Marcus
Slonimer.
In 1888 Jews cOmmemOrated the
first centennial of the famous
Rabbi Israel Meir ha-KOhen, bet
ter known as "HOfaitz Hayim."
Nineteen thirty-nine marked the
millennium of the birth of one of
the last GaOnim (excelIencies),
Hal GaOn, and we also celebrated
the first centennial of Rabbi
Moses Softer, known as "Hatam

The year 1910 also reminds us
of some pleasant certain
not-so-pleasant = important his
torical Jewish events. It was
in the year $40 that the Jews
were expelled from Arabia and in
1910, from Naples. In 1910 took
place the Damascus Affair."" in
which the Jews were accused Of
ritual murder.
On the bright side is recorded
that i'm the year 1910, the first
Yiddish dictionary and the first
Bible in Yiddish appeared. In
1910 the Hebrew word appeared

That is certainly the case with
Israel. In their graves are many
great men who are still remem-
bered. But to our shame, there
are many more whose memory we
fail to keep bright. There is a
Talmudic discourse to the effect
that when we pay tribute to
thoughts of the deceased, their
lips move to express their appre-
citation. We also have a saying:
''The past is what is most vital in

The biography of our great men

are the reservoir from which we
draw to assure our own existence.
A people hOnOrs itself primarily
in hOnOring the great men who
have interpreted its thoughts, and
who have increased the treasures
of it's existence.
A scholar in Israel is he who
enriches his people, not only with
his writings, but also through the
purity, nobility and holiness of his
life, which may serve as an ex-
ample for the world. Such a man
and scholar was Rabenu Solomon
Yitzhaki, better known the world
over as "Rashi," whose ninth con-
tennial birthday is being commem-
Grated universally.
Rashi is the principal figure in
the cultural period in Jewry
known as the "SecOnd RabbinicaI
Age" His memory is hOnored in
every synagogue and temple
where the Bible, in the original, is
studied. In commemorative

discharge a debt to a great Rab-

the first centennial of the birth

NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-Mid- year
examinations claim the basket ball
athletes attention in most sections
this week, but leading teams of the
Pacific Coast, Rocky Mountain Big
Seven and Southwest Conference get
down to deciding championships.
Nowhere else are lines between
the real title contenders and the
remainder of the field so clearly
drawn as in these three groups.
Even on the West Coast, only the
Southern division race has any clar-
ity; there are several possibilities
in the Northern section.
Down to Trojans and Indians.
The Southern half of the Coast
League, however, has been reduced
to two-team struggle between
Southern California and Stanford.
California and U. c. l.. A. clearly
are outclassed, losing not only to
their conference rivals, but practi-
cally every one else. Next Friday
and Saturday the Trojans and the
Indians play a two-game series at
Los Angeles and out of that may
come the seasons victor.

run up some notable scores, includ-
ing 55-32 over California Friday
and 60-36 over College Of the Pa
cific Saturday, but lacks standout
reserves.
In the Big Seven the game Of the
week is undefeated Utah against
Colorado's defending champions at
Boulder Friday. The Utes kept
their record clear last week by whip
ping Wyoming 47-33 while Colorado
crushed Denver 66-25 and beat out
Colorado State 47-41 to make it
four victories in five conference
starts. Utah State, victor in its
only league game, plays Wyoming
and Denver next week end while
Utah goes on from the Colorado
game to face Colorado State.
Texas, Rice Set Pace.
The Southwest Conference race
finds the 1889 champion, Texas, tied
with Rice at four victories and one
loss. Texas A. and M. is close be-
hind. The Longhorns already have
beaten Rice, but were upset by Ar
