THE JEWISH HERALD-VOICE
November 4. 1948
by MORRIS FAGIN Sports Editor
W INTER-FAITH AWARD
JESHURUN OUTGROWS "WEAK BROTHER" CLASS WINNERS ANNOUNCED
Ever since the day of origin Jeshurun BBYM has
been the target and underdog in every sports competition
—but today its an entirely different story. This friendly
active club has shown more life than any
other club in some time. By defeating the
strong Masada Club Sunday, 25-19, the
spirited and fighting team hurtled into the
limelight as the “club of the vear.” They no
longer are rated the “weax brothers” of
the Houston area. Just keep your eyes open
from here on.
Before game time they knew it was a
“win or (fie” contest for a setback or tie
would hand Masada undisputed claim to
the Senior football crown. In good shape and full of hope,
the Jeshurun squad fought their hearts out and came out
the victor in the greatest display of aerials ever dis-
played here. So by their efforts, its a three-way tie for
the championship which they now share with Masada
and Sons of Israel, who defeated the Sportsman.
Passing with accuracy in the tight spots, and the
game was so every second of play, Jeshurun and Masada
played the feather-footed game which was expected.
It Was a rare treat to watch fellows like Burt Gaylin,
Morris Backer, David Daily and Mel Zeigfinger exhibit
their talent on the grid field. It was a whale of a de-
fensive as well as offensive affair. Members of both teams
are due more than congratulations for the excellent con-
test Which consisted of Bobby Wagman, Irvin Rosen,
Filmore Cohen, Murray Getz, Irving Wishnow, Leonard
Kahn, Saul Kahn, Irving Rose and Harold Daily.
Sd come Sunday at 11 a. m. the play-offs will com-
mence. The special meeting Tuesday night at the Jewish
Community Center found Jeshurun drawing Masada
in the first bitter clash. The victor of this crucial “do or
don’t" affair will then take on Sons of Israel one week
later for the league championship.
In the advent of the coming play-offs end in a tie, a
five minute overtime will be played to determine the
victor. If, after that time, the game is still in a deadlock,
additional five-minutes will be added to the fourth quar-
ter. This was agreed upon by the three teams involved.
T ike a hint—come out Sunday and see some honest
to-goodness football. You’ll be amazed at the style of
play Houston’s Jewish lads are demonstrating. There is no
admission charge—root for your favorite team.
SONS OF ISRAEL DOWNS
SPORTSMAN CLUB, 25-8
Sons of Israel (BBYM No.
83) took complete control of
the grid field at Lubbock Sun-
day aad turned away the
Sportsman Club, 25-8. The los-
ers was at the mercy of the
strong B’nai B’rith six in all
but the second quarter, when
they held their opponents score-
less. The setback threw the
pre-season “strong” Sports-
man outfit into the cellar of the
senior loop.
The fabulous Brooks broth-
ers. Buddy and Dan. again
showed the fans how to toss
the pughide with their fancy
aerial offerings. Buddy tossed
his fikst in the initial period
to Delre from the L alter Set-
ting the pace with a pass to
Earl Selser. Buddy's other touch
down heave was to Harold
Wiesenthal in the third cento.
Dave took to the air in the
final chapter for two scores.
The Hirst with only three min-
utes gone with a 35 yard heave
to Wiesenthal, and later tossed
one good for 30 to Nathan Lauf-
rr.an who ran 25 to paydirt.
Schoel Schuleman got into the
picture by taking Dave’s short
pass for a one-pointer.
With 2 seconds to play Ralph
Stekin went through the mid-
dle for a touchdown to keep
the Sportsman from a royal
blits. The TD wes set up by an
off side penalty.
The feature play of the game
failed to produce a tally. Wies-
enthal, who truly starred on
the grid field, grabbed an in-
terception fin his goal line, spun
and raced 55 yards down the
sidelines before being stopped
on the Sportsman 25.
The victory meant a great
deal for Sons of Israel as they
now share the senior leadership
with Masada and Jeshurun
BBYM.
Ruth Wiesenthal, Anita Rob-
inson and Claire Ann Kapner
acted as linesmen (or should
we say lineswomen?).

The managers and officials of
the Inter-Faith softball league
met recently at the Trinity Lu-
theran Church to name the
most valuable player, the out-
standing catcher and pitcher of
the league.
Walter Harting, third base-
man for the Trinity Lutheran
team, was named the most
valuable player of the league.
Harting, who is assistant prin-
cipal of the Trinity Lutheran
School, was the fielding and
batting sensation throughout
the six-game schedule. Harting,
who excels in a number of
sports, played center on the
Trinity Lutheran basketball
quintet, a member of the Major
City basketball loop last year.
Tommy Hajecate of Epworth
Methodist was runner-up to
Harting as the most valuable
player of the loop. He led his
team in the following depart-
ments: hitting, runs batted in,
stolen bases and extra base hits.
He was also a consistent defen-
sive performer at the keystone
bag.
Other players considered for
the outstanding player award
were Dave Berman, manager
and first baseman of the B. I.
C. Club and Tommy Tomasino,
S. P. Englewood Car Shops out-
fielder.
Fito Segento, 26 year old La-
tin-American curve ball hurl-
er for S. P., was named the out-
standing pitcher of the loop.
Segento is a World War II vet-
eran with 30 of his 40 months
service being spent in the Pa-
cific area..
Runner-up to Segento for the
outstanding hurler award was
Milton Fehrle of the Trinity
Lutheran. Fehrle, a rise ball
artist, hurled brilliantly during
the season. With better con-
trol, young Fehrle should dev-
elop into one of Houston’s top
twirlers.
Outstanding catcher honors
go to 21-year old Bobbie Cox of
Epworth Methodist. A Navy vet
eran and at present a Universi-
ty of Houston student, it was
suicide to attempt to steal on
the hustling, fiery Bobbie. This
youngster, who also plays base-
ball,'was catcher on the Denver-
Harbor Merchants baseball
team which won the champion-
ship of the league and advanc-
ed to the city play-off.
Alfred Garcia of the S. P.
Club won runner-up honors in
the catching department. Al-
fred, who won the welterweight
boxing championship of Ha-
waii while serving in the 7th
Air Force, is a brother of Joe
and Gilbert Garcia, brilliant
Houston boxers.

MASADA WINS THREE TO
TAKE OVER LEADERSHIP
Paced by Harry Vitemb who
rolled 199-493, the Masada Club
took over undisputed leadership
of the JCC Bowling League at
Recreation Palace Monday ev-
ening with a clean sweep of
three games over B’nai B’rith
No. 2. David Daily, Masada’s
“workhorse,” pulled the final
game out of the fire on one big
last chance when he came thru
with three straight strikes to
eke out a 6 pin victory. Dr.
Jerome Frey was high for B.
B„ 171-476.
Sterling Radio Products came
through with honors for high
team game and series, rolling

the Southern Importers. The

ing 240-616. Abe Tolsky was
high for the Importers, 212-500.
The up-and-down M. M. Soc-
iety defeated Gerber’ Restau-
rant Supply three games—but
only after a bitter series that
was too close for comfort. Isch
Reichek paced M. M. with 190-
512, Maurice Silver leading the
way for Gerber’s with 194-536.
Leon Rudick’s 170 game and
Harry Kapner’s 472 series paved
the way for Jennings Clean-
ers grand slam over B’nai B’rith

RAMBLERS BEAT AZA
IN FIGHT FOR 2ND SPOT
The Rambler Juniors tighten-
ed their hold on second place
in the Junior Loop standings
with a 14-6 win over AZA 136
“A” squad. '
An opening period pass from
Melvyn Caplan to Joe Kraft for
30 yards and a touchdown
proved the margin of victory,
although the Ramblers added
another through the aerial
route in the final period. Cap-
lan once more passed, this time
to Larry Freilich, good for 25
yards and the score. Wild Wil-
lie Bromberg engineered both
extra points, romping over cen-
ter for the first, and flipping to
Nick Schwartz for the second.
Although without the ser-
vices of Sam Robinson, AZA
refused to concede anything to
the favored Ramblers, scoring
midway of the fourth on a bril-
liant pass play, Joe Chasnoff to
Pinky Si gal to Albert Shaffer,
good for some 60 yards and the
outstanding touchdown play of
the day. It started out as a
lateral, Chasnoff flipping to
Sigal, who then fed Shaffer a
perfect pass, the little speedster
going 30 yards for the six-point-
er. AZA was knocking on the
Rambler door when the game
ended, as a result of a pass in-
terception by Leon Mucasey.
Time ran out, however, before
AZA could get a single play
under way, only 5 yards away
from the double stripe.
Cyrus Adler “B” won a for-
feit from S. A. R. (same ’ole
story).
Score by Quarters:
Ramblers _7 0 6 7—14
AZA 136 “A” _0 0 0 6—6
JESHURUN BBYM DOWN
MASADA, LEAGUE ENDS
IN TRIPLE DEADLOCK
That two-way combination of
football realities—Burt Gaylin
and Morris Backer—passed and
trampled its ways for four
touchdowns to lead the Jesh-
urun BBYM to a surprising
25-19 victory over powerful
Masada. The victory threw the
Senior grid race in a three-way
tie with the play-off to start
Sunday at Lubbock. Gaylin and
Backer rotated in the aerial
rampage with one pitching and
receiving the oval.
Masada’s candidate for the
most valuable gridster is “big
smoke” David Daily, and he
played a bang-up defensive and
offensive game. “Little rabbit”
Mel Zeigfinger starred plenty
to give Daily much support.
This pair played a furious
brand of football and put on a
