Saltz gets his chance

By HARVEY ROSEN They also serve who stand and wait ... especially those who are patient and don’t rock the boat. Take Winnipeg Blue Bombers' quarterback Lee Saltz out of Temple U., for instance. When he joined the Canadian Football League team in late August, he was fourth in the signal callers' pecking order. As fate would have it, veteran Roy Dewalt has been traded and Tom Muecke has developed an elbow infection; consequently, Lee suited up with Winnipeg for the first time as backup to Sean Salisbury. Bombers' coach Mike Riley said, "I want to get ^ee into his first game. He's got good movement and can throw on the run. And he’s a real feisty guy, real competitive.” Tm really excited about it," admitted Lee. "I've been around long enough that 1 feel comfortable with the offense. I've had some pretty good weeks of preparation and I've put in some more

Lee Saltz film work than I have in the past." Saltz, Temple's all-time leading passer, runs the 40 in 4.6, and doesn't mind roaming around in the backfield. He describes his game as very aggressive. "That's the way I play," he said. "I'm not going to go try and run over some lineman or anything, but I like to mix things up and keep the other team on their heels so they're not as aggressive towards you. I try to keep them off-balance."

Rundown on Jews at Seoul

By SHEL WALLMAN For the first time, Yom Kippur and the Olympic Games collided. The Day of Atonement fell on Sept. 20 in the heat of competition at

the Seoul Summer Olympics. Israel's best hope for a medal in Seoul, foil fencer Udi Kami, was left behind in Israel because it was clear he would have to compete on Yom Kippur. The Olympic Yachting jury rejected Israel’s request for races to be rescheduled from Yom Kippur. Ran and Dan Tortan decided to ignore the Israeli team ban on competing and sailed the 470 Class yacht to a #9 finish. The Tortan brothers were sent back to Israel the following day. Yehuda Ben-Haim, Israel's finest amateur boxer, did not show up for his 106-lb Yom Kippur bout and was disqualified. In gymnastics, a special allowance permitted Revital Sharon to compete. The South Korean team had only three members instead of the necessary four for team competition and Revital was hoping to join them for the evening session. When the organizers nixed this idea, she was then allowed to replace an injured Hungarian in the evening's team event. Revital had fasted all day and took a sip of glucose before competing. The Arab boycott played a limited role in the Games. Yemen’s Abullah Alizani for feitedhis 106-lb wrestling match to Israel's Dov Gruberman, but Egypt's Kamal

Ibrahim did wrestle against Israel's Texas-born Evan Bernstein, while the Sudan’s John Mirona boxed against Israel's Jakov Shmuel. Bernstein copped a decision, while Shmuel won his 125.5-lb bout with a KO in 1:15 of the first-round. Shmuel reached the 1/4-fi-nals in the featherweight division before meeting defeat. Israel's boxing team could be barred from the 1992 Barcelona Olympics because the International Amateur Boxing Federation has expelled Israel for five years for sending a boxing team to South Africa (using false identities). Three American-Jews brought home medals. Mike Milchin and his teammates were champions in the demonstration sport of baseball. Dara Torres of Beverly Hills, Calif., took a bronze medal swimming in the 400 M. Freestyle Relay, while Brad Gilbert of Piedmont, Calif., won a bronze in tennis. Jon Fish, 26, of Bellmore, N.Y., came closest with a #5 finish in the Coxed Pairs (rowing). The others were Robert Breland and Steve Cohen in judo, Paul Friedberg and Elaine Cheris in fencing, Ken Chertow and Andrew Seras in wrestling, Ken Flax in the hammer (T&F) and Andrew Goldman in yachting. Other Jewish athletes competing in Seoul included Martin Jaite of Argentina in tennis, Patricia Amorim of Brazil in swimming, David Edge of Canada in the marathon, Carl Prean in table tennis, and Elise Summers in judo, both from Great Britain (Stephen Cooper, 23, an English Olympic wrestler, was killed in a vehicular accident prior to his scheduled departure for Seoul), Marlene Bruten of Mexico in swimming and the Parthians. The Jewish rebellions against Rome spread to other parts of the diaspora. The Sephardim of Spain did not accept meekly the establishment of the Inquisition. They arranged the assassination of the inquisitor Arbues (1485) for which they paid with their lives.

Nuclear plant by year 2000 JERUSALEM — It is more than 10 years away, but the decision seems to have been made that by the year 2000 Israel will have built its first nuclear power plant. Plans call for 80 percent of the components to be locally produced, as well as the uranium to fuel it. The decision comes as a surprise since Israel has viewed nuclear power with disfavor over the years, assuming its costs and its environmental and pollution problems.
