NOT ONLY NANCY LIEBERMAN Women’s basketball continues to grow in popularity, thanks in no small part to Nancy Lieberman, last year’s college Player of the Year. Nancy is playing her senior year at Old Dominion and will then compete in the 1960 Olympics before joining the women’s professional league. However, Nancy is not alone among Jewish players in the women’s college ranks. Let’s meet some others: (Fr.) Barb Weiner — New Mexico State — 5:4 (G) from Philadelphia. Barb accounted for 28 ppg in high school and as a frosh is scoring in double figures for State. (Jr.) Janet Finklestein — Drexel — 5:4 (G) from Verona, N. J. Janet was second high scorer last year with 10.9 ppg. (Jr.) Sue Axelrod — Wesleyan — 5:8 (F) from the Bronx, N. Y. Sue joined the starting line-up last year when she scored 7.3 ppg and took down 6.2 rebounds. (Sr.) Aileen Beneroff — Rochester — 5:2 (G) from Short Hills, N. Y. Aileen is a starter who averaged 8.9 ppg last year. SPORTS BRIEFS Late arriving stats backed up our two “blind” All-Ameri-can selections. Larry Brodsky led Miami in receptions with 30 and was second in both TD’s, with 2, and yards gained with 495. SMU’s Ken Rosenthal punted for an excellent 40.4 yd. average, with his longest a 64 yd. boomer. Ivan Katz won his fifth Australian National Featherweight Weightlifting Championship and, even more importantly, qualified for the 1980 Olympics with his winning lift. Rone (The Yid Kid) Aurit moved up in class and paid the price.
