Arnold (Red) Auerbach, who
has more victories to his credit
than any other coach, has been
elected to the Basketball Hall of
Fame. The general manager of
the Boston Celtics will join Nat
Holman, Barney Sedran, Dave
Tobey and Len Sachs when he’s
enshrined in April.
Another great basketball coach,
Bernard (Red) Sarachek, has
begun his 25th year as head
coach at New York’s Yeshiva
University. He hopes to better
last season’s 7-14 record. Big
men for the Mighty Mites are
sophomore Stu Poloner, C-3, of
Teaneck, N. J., and senior Ray
Aboff, 6-3, of Elizabeth, N. J.
Poloner set a freshman record
last year with 443 points. Other
top men include freshman Rich
Salit, 6-0, of Brooklyn, N. Y.;
senior Dave Hershkovits, 5-10, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., and freshman
Harold Perl, G-2, of the Bronx.
Yeshiva’s biggest victory in the
early going was a 57-41 drubbing
of CCNY. Poloner hit for 15
points, while Aboff put in 13
points and Salit got 12. The
Mighty Mites do a great job al
though they carry a heavy work
load and lack a home court.
Jerry Domershick is CCNY’s
new varsity coach. He moves
from freshman coach to head
coach in place of Dave Polansky
who is on sabbatical leave. Dom
ershick played his basketball at
CCNY and was the Beavers’ only
three-time captain. Ted Horwitz,
another CCNY alumnus, has be
come the freshman coach. He
spent six months in Israel last
year coaching 16 and 17-year-
old boys at the Maccabi Sports
Club in Tel Aviv.
New York City’s two new edu
cational institutions, both named
for distinguished, Jews, have
Jewish athletic directors: Mike
Fleischer at Herbert H. Lehman
College and George (Red) Wolfe
at Bernard Baruch College.
Fleischer formerly coached bas
ketball at Hunter College, and
Wolfe performed at St. John’s of
Brooklyn and for 15 years with
the professional Philadelphia
Sphas of the Eastern and Amer
ican Basketball Leagues. He also
coached at LIU, and soccer and
tennis at CCNY. Wolfe will
handle the basketball squad at
Baruch, in addition to his other -
duties.
Coach Harry Litwack of Tem
ple opened the season with the
sixth best winning percentage in
major college basketball. He had
283 victories and 142 losses in
16 years for a .666 percent
age . . . Isadore (Spin) Salario
began his ninth year as coach
of the Chicago State College bas^
ketball team, neoding only eight
more victories to reach the cen
tury mark.
Herb Brown, basketball coach
and coordinator of intercollegiate
athletics at Stony Brook State
College, N. Y., has been elected
secretary-treasurer of the Knick
erbocker Collegiate Basketball
Conference . . . Miami-Dade
South Junior College coach Julie
Cohen is also the electric clock
operator for home games of the
ABA Miami Floridians . . Mike
Levine is the new freshman bas
ketball coach at C. W. Post Col
lege in New York. He also assists
with the varsity team. A former
Post player, Levine is a high
school teacher in Brooklyn.
Jackie Goldsmith, 47, one of
college basketball’s great set-shot
artists, died in October. Gold
smith played at LIU in 1945-46.
Only 5-7, he was an All-Amer
ican selection in 1946.
Marty Glickman, who an
nounced basketball games on
radio in Goldsmith’s day, re
membered him well. “He had a
classic shooting style. There were
a lot of small men who could hit
just as well but when he got hot
he could hit four or five in a
row from just in front of the
midcourt line. He’d put his heels
together, hold the ball chest high,
get a perfect arch and put it
through,” said Glickman.

Treatment Given To Poland

BUCKIIEAD
NEW YORK (JTA)— William
A. Wexler, president of B’nai
B’rith, has urged President John
son to rescind the “most favored
nation” treatment extended to
Poland by a tariff agreement
four years ago in view of that
country’s harassment of its Jew
ish population.
Dr. Wexler, in a letter pub-
lised in the New York Times,
said that if the President did not
act, “I would hope that Congress
would legislate to the same end.”
The head of the 125-year-old
Jewish service and fraternal or-,
ganization noted that President
'"'Johnson and the United States
State Department have condemn
ed Poland’s anti-Semitic cam
paign. “But I feel that we have
failed to take the appropriate
substantive step called for by
Poland’s continued defiance of
world opinion,’VJte wrote.
“Four years *" ago President
Johnson, acting pursuant to sta
tutory authorization, extended to
Poland the important tariff ben
efit—most favored treatment. Mr.
Johnson made no bones about the
reasons for granting the conces
sion. The United States,” he said,
“wished to ‘encourage peaceful
efforts toward loosening of con
trol from Moscow’. Another con
sideration he cited was that Po
land was permitting greater
freedom of speech and religion.
But it is crystal clear that Poland
today is more servile toward
Moscow than ever,” Dr. Wexler
wrote. “It is clear too that free
dom of speech and religious lib
erty for Jews have been dras
tically curtailed. The reasons for
granting the special tariff con
cession to Poland have disap
peared. The concession should
be withdrawn . . . until such
time as the Polish Government
gives new evidence that it des
erves it.”
