solutely automatic = Jews make
the best basketball players.
Ever since Doc Naismaith
nailed a peach basket to a pole in
Springfield, Massachusetts, some
forty odd years ago-Jews have
dominated the games. Nat Holman
was the sparkplug of the original
Celtics = a team that was COM
posed OF four Jews. So great was
the prOwess of this alIegedIy Hi
bernian outfit that the quintet had
TO be disbanded for the good of
the American Association and bas-
ketball in general. Thus, Barney
Sedran, Joe Lapchick and Nat
Holman went their divers WAYS.
But all this was a long time ago
and since that time thousands of
tOp-nOtch Jewish basketeers have
set the fans on the edge of their
chairs and kept them there
throughout the years. The fast
breaking Offenses, the point a
minute scoring, the double head
ers, the bang-bang spray of toss
es that pepper the basket, the bull
let-paSSing, the ball hawking
youngsters who try to beat their
opponents by Outrunning them
these are the things that Jewish
athletes have excelIed in and these
are the things that have packed
in the fans for the past fOrty-two
years.
The national collegiate title is
no longer a matter of guesswork,
thanks to the basketball writer's
association. Ever since the adop-
ton of this plan some two years
ago Jewish lad has been one of
the major cogs in the national
championship quintet. Who will
win this year is still something for
conjecture but a quick glance at
the top-notch quints throughout
the country once again reveals the
automatic factor in basketball =
there will be a Jewish basketeer
and dribbler on the team that
sweeps to national honors just be-
cause there is a Jewish laddie par
ticipating for almost every one
of the big time collegiate fives in
the land.
HOWE Engleman, high scorer of
the Kansas five, is considered one
of the best forwards in the game
this year. Recently at the Garden
in New York he set a new record
for the year by scoring FL points
in thirty minutes. Another Jew
iSh lad on the Kansas club is Moe
Hellenberger-feft guard.
At Colorado--Hal Trotsky, Hal
Kirchner and Babe Hamburg are
the three big guns in the U. of
C.'s attack. Illinois boasts of Joe

-AowA'A' AeIIlp1e is forging ahead
with such Hebrew lads as Mendv
Snyder, Il Bechtoff, AL Kahn and
George Morganstein. Graf of Ohio
State and Member of Michigan
are another duo who enliven acti-
vltles for t h cir opponents. Joe
Stampf, of Chicago, is considered
the best free-throw shooter in the
Big Ten Loop. Sidney Held is one
OF the Nebraska aces on whom the
Cornhuskers are depending to cap
ture the Big Six Title. Guard Lee
Huber, a really bright star, makes
the old Kentucky campus shine
gloriously for Huber is one of the
outstanding stalwarts of the
Southeastern Conference. On the
Far Western Horizon, the Troians
OF Southern California are build
ing around Guard Jack Lippert-
considered one of the best de-
fensemen in the business.
Of course, Nat Holman is some
what disappointed after his teams

York and Eastern fans are still
agOg over the performances of
the ViOlets from N.Y.U. At the

Hall of Fame have turned in six

look at the ineup-Lazar, David
off, Schulman, KaplOwitz, Auer-
bach and Stevens Stevens, an
outstanding baSketeer, is the only
nOn-JeWish dribbIer on this first
team lot :. The metropolitan bas-
ketball writer's are predicting big
things for N.Y.U. this season -
for one thing they claim that the
ViOlets will sweep the MetrOpOli-
tan hardwood courts title and then
go ahead to mop up the represent
atives of the other sections of the
country who shall be traipsing in
to the big town in the National
Collegiate Examinations.
Amateur or A.A.U. basketball
is almost as popular as the col
legiate brand. The Ohrbach's five
an all-kosher team by the way
sponsored by dress dealer in New
York is high in the running for
National honors.
Professional basketball - tn e
game that had been enjoying lush
years until the collegiate forces
hustled things up at the Garden
is still making considerable prog
ress even though Kate Smith is no
longer connected with the game
and even though the turnstiles at
the amateur games are clicking
and spinning faster than at the
pro games. Nevertheless, the per-
centage of Jews in professional
basketball is still amazingly high.
