Under normal circum-
stances, sports fans this
time of the year should not
be thinking too seriously
about basketball. This is the
interesting time for baseball
and with NFL teams already
in training camps, many
sports followers are begin-
ning to give heavy thought
to the gridiron. Consequent-
ly, basketbball, unlike base-
ball and football, has become
a year-round sport in Israel,
lready hoop teams there are
preparing for the upcoming
1984-85 season.

“amateur” basketball se-
mester gets underway in the
Holy Land early in October
which means that the league
teams are beginning to
collate their squads and
have started their practice
sessions.
This year, not too many
Israeli coaches came to the
U.S. searching for players
since there is a new rule in
effect pertaining to how
many foreigners an Israeli
team can carry. The rule in
essence states that each
team is allowed to have two
non-citizens; one has to be
Jewish, and the other can be
a non-Jew.
It is getting so tough in
Israel that foreign Jewish
players have little or no
chance of making Israeli
teams. This stems from the
fact that over the past five
or six years Israeli net game
administrators have arrang-
ed, by stealth and ridiculous
means, to convert a phe-
thora of Christian players to
Judaism, thereby making it
virtually impossible for Jew-
ish players from the U.S. to
come to Israel, as in the
past.
Only a day before this
column was written, I had
the opportunity to speak to
an Israeli coach, who came
here to attend a basketball
clinic in June, and stayed on
to show our country’s sights
to his wife who had never
been here before. Conse-
quently he managed to
watch a few basketball
players in action at various
professional hoop camps.
This particular coach, who
has been at the helm of two
or three top-flight Israeli
quintets told me that he saw
two Jewish players who
definitely can play division
one basketball in his coun-
try. However, he feels that
the quota of Jewish players
on division one teams in
Israel already may be filled.
He attributes this to the fact
that there have been so
many conversions of top-
flight non-Jewish players to
Judaism, thereby eliminat-
ing vacancies on teams for
Jewish-born players.
He is very much enamor-
ed of the two players who
just finished their college
careers in the East and told

to Paris last year after
serving as Israel’s Ambas-
sador to Switzerland, Fa-
bius’ wife helped him to
develop his first contact
with the Socialist regime.
Sofer said that he has
noticed in the past few
months a general improve-
ment in Franco-Israeli re-
lations. “I do not believe that
at present France would
initiate any political step (in
the Middle East) without
prior consultation with Isra-
el,” he said.
Sofer added that France
in any event would not
launch a diplomatic initia-
tive, such as the often
proposed international
peace conference on the
Middle East, before the
American Presidential elec-
tions next November.
