Robinson's 300-Game Second In History Of B'nai B'rith Bowling

By LOU BERLINER JtwlDlt Post Sports Editor Phil Robinson’s recent 300 game in the Cosmopolitan B’nai B’rith league in Detroit was the second perfect game thrown in B’nai B’rith bowling history. Some years ago, Sam Harris, then of Toledo, tossed a perfect game. Harris is now a resident of Dayton. Several nights before Robinson recorded his game, another Detroiter, David Kantor of Pisgah Lodge, came through with a 299 score. The 6-pin was Kan-

tor’s nemisis, that pin remained standing on his attempt to record his 12th consecutive strike and a perfect game. Kantor carries a 188 average and finished that night with a 691 series on games of 177-215-299. Denver, Colo., has increased its league from six to 14 and could have had 24 if the alleys were available. Detroit Pisgah Lodge now has 60 teams, an increase of 12 from last season. Prexy Sam Solomon of the 40 team Columbus, Ohio league, is recuperating from an abdominal operation.

San Antonio has started the bowling rage in Texas and now the Texas B’nai B’rith Conference has recommended to Bob Marcus to start leagues in other Texas cities. Currently, San Antonio has a 10 team league with plans to enlarge very shortly. Saul Galitzky, 3rd vice-president of the National Bowling Association, reports Kansas City will form another league after the first of the year. South Bend, Ind., has doubled its league and is now publishing an attractive bulletin. Louisville’s circuit has been upped from 16 to 24.

T) OSTON College is the last spot you would look for a Jewish 13 football player. A strict Catholic institution, B.C. has little to offer gridsters of Hebraic extraction. In years past the school, located in Weston, Mass* was always considered a grounding place for future priests. Last year, for the first time, a Jewish basketball player by the name of Levinson appeared in the Boston College lineup. This fall Ed Joachim appeared in the school’s football lineup. Only a freshman, Joachim is making strides as a snapper back and is slated for All-American honors two and three years hence. Standing 6 feet 4 and going well over 200 pounds Joachim is acquir-

ing football savvy.

The remarkable thing about Joachim’s emergence as a football player is that he never played the game In high school. In fact his school In Brooklyn did not field a football team. While serving In the Coast Guard Joachim used to run up to Boston to work out In the local Y. One day a Boston College coach saw the strapping bruiser and Inquired as to his availability for football purposes. Joachim was amenable and shortly after leaving the service wended his way to the> Catholic school. Before he was admitted Joachim was required to present a letter from his rabbi attesling to his Jewishness. Boston College does not discriminate against members of other religions but refuses to accept atheists even if they are potential All-American gridders. Joachim is very well liked by members of the faculty. When the Boston College team traveled to New York to meet N.Y.U., a priest stopped to chat with young Joachim on the train. “How are you making out in class, Ed?” inquired the Padre. "Oh, I am doing O.K. Father,” answered the Brooklyn boy. “I could stand a little help in physics though.” Without saying another word the priest seated himself next to the Jewish lad and tutored him in physics all of the way to New York.

TW TEW YORK University has been coming along slowly but steadily in the football firmament and Coach Jake Weinheimer is singing the praises of Irv. Mondschein. Mondseheim, another Brooklyn lad, was placed at an end position because Weinheimer did not have very many candidates for the spot. Mondschein had never played football before going to college. His athletic prowess was well established, however, in the track field as a broad and high jumper. Weinheimer figured that Irving’s spring might stand him in good stead leaping for passes. Recently Irv came up with a big leap in the end zone against Lehigh and came down with the ball. This is not remarkable in itself, except that the Jewish boy is very nearsighted and is handicapped going for passes. Commencing with the Fordham game Irving was supplied with contact lens. At the most recent N.Y. football writers’ luncheon, Coach Weinheimer got up and lauded his star end to the skies. "Mondschein is the most remarkable athlete in the country,” remarked the Violet coach. Mondseheim Is a sure fire point getter in the 1948 Olympic Games in the broad jump and high jump.

XTTAROLD GREEN, the young Brooklyn middle-weight who was X A suspended in New York rings for a year, has served his time. As a result of his rowdy action in the Garden last fall after being K.O.’d by Rocky Graziano, Harold was set down for 365 days. In order not to go rusty the Brownsville Belter fought outside of New York state making several hit appearances in Cleveland. Now that he has learned his lesson Green will be in a position to fight his way back among the leading middle-weight contenders. He is in the process of boxing his way up in the smaller N.Y. city fight clubs *nd by late winter will be back on top in Madison Square Garden. * * * TJROFESSIONAL basketball got under way in Madison Square X"^ Garden when the New York Knickerbockers, featuring an all Jewish starting line-up was downed by the Chicago Stags in a thrilling overtime contest. Mickey Rottner, former Loyola of Chicago mainsaty, dominated the scoring for the Windy City aggregation, tossing in 20 points. Ossie Schechtman was the main gun for the losers. Dave Zinkoff, the G.I. wht^won the war in Iceland, Is doing a bang-up job as publicity man for the Philly Sphas. Among his many duties Zfnky prepares a weekly eight-page program, the Sphas Spark, which carries national advertising. The sheet is replete with basketball and social news. Readers interested in securing a copy of the Sphas Sparks are advised to write to David Zinkoff, 1517 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa, c/o Gottleib Promotions.

“veterans’ ” movement, in its November issue, makes the following observations: "Perhaps we, as Americans could get somewheres if we could pass a law forbidding refugees and aliens changing their names upon arrival in this country. Then we could more readily identify the Jews, and alien-minded who come to America—not to be loyal, but to milk our country, to destroy our form of government, and make of it a Bolshevic (sic» nation, such as Russia.” Hoeppie, a former Congressman from California, was compelled to relinquish his office as the result .of charges that he had sold an appointment to West Point. * • * Anti-Semite Doubts G.L.K.

rupted by a stretch of two years in the Navy. A native of Elkins, W. Va., he was nicknamed "Biggie” in highschool and prep-school ball because of his small sature. Twentyeight years old, he is a salesman in the off season. He is married and the Goldbergs are parents of a four-year-old son, who already has been named “Biggie”. In the Navy, he was a lieutenant, junior grade, and spent two years in the S. W. Pacific. Known as a hard worker, Goldberg has always been among the leaders in the ground gaining department. In 1941 and 1942 Goldberg topped the Cardinals in yards by rushing with 427 and 369 respectively. Also known for his defensive ability, Goldberg paced the Cards in pass interceptions in 1941 with seven. He also has the record for returning a kickoff once for 95 yards, which is second only to Doug Russell’s 102 yard return in 1934. Goldberg is a member of Phi Epsilon Pi.

“Smith’s leadership has petered out. We want to hear a speaker talk about sonjething more than how he loves his wife and sen (we take that for granted with most men), and how he loves Fathers Coughlin and Terminiello. ... I think he is intelligent enough to know that he can never be inaugurated President with Harvey Springer galloping a bucking bronco down Pennsylvania Avenue and Lizzie Dilling doing a high dive off Washington’s monument.
