"Dear Mr. Marshall:
"Upon this day when yoii have reached three score and ten, in health attd vigor, your friends and associates and many far ¦ and near, who have not had the. privilege of knowing you, in person, ask you to accept, their warmest congratulations, ' '*We realize that any .form of praise or ' adulation-will be distastefid to you and in this we shall not indnlge, but we may be permitted to express our thanks tp Almighty God, who has la our day raised you up as a champion of.the Jew- . ish people. We are grateful for your never wearying-zeal in behalf of our. rights wherever they have been denied. or threatened- The occasions upon which you liave defended our cause are too numerous to recall, but we remind ourselves of, those notable months which you spent in Paris in 1919, never tfring, always resourceful,'your labors result¬ ing in the inclusion, in the Treaties of Peace, of provision^ which we hope will ultimately safe-guard the- religious and political rights of the Jewish people of Eastern Europe. ,
"Another occasion that we would wish to'recall is the splendid part you played in bringing about the abrogation of the Treaty between the United States and Russia, thereby contributing, as.you did, to what was probably the most notable (Cojtimwrf on pag? i)

THE JEWISH ALL-AMERICAN FOOTBALL TEAM FOR 1926
By GEORGE JOEL
HE fdotball season which has just drawn to a close has been particularly replete with Jewish football stars. Choosing All-Jewish teams is no long a novelty, but a team of this nature composed of eleven individ¬ ual stars is an innovation in the Jewish Sporting World. ..So numerous were Jewish, football players this year that it was found necessary to list two teams and'recognize with honorable mention the names of a host of lesser stars. Every man chosen for a place on the teams played a regular position and gained more than the usual recognition accorded, to the ordinary college players.,
FIRST TEAM
APITZ, Chicago. :.

MILLER, Harvard...:............
Backfield
The twcnty-rtwo inen listed" above would make two teams of championship cal¬ ibre. It cannot'be doubted that these teams, if given the opportunity"to play to¬ gether -cbuld give any. team in this country sixty minutes of the hardest football that it is possible to produce. In the first team.ibackfield we find Friedman, Lev¬ ison, Mishel and 'Miller,—these four men all have one trait in common — speed* Friedman makes the ideal quarterback. He can carry a ball, pass, run off plays, pick weaknesses in the-opposing team and catch forward passes. Besides that he is a handy man to have around, when a iield goal is needed. Levison has the happy faculty of being able to run the ends and.skirt the tackles, ^Mishel is a fin.e p.asser and iis a hard plunging back through the line. Miller is speed itself. There is no man in the country that can spot Miller a yard and then catch him. P'unting is also one of Miller's accomplishments. With four men "such as these there, is no element lacking that goes jto make up'an ofFensive backfield.; All men are good brokeif] field.runners. As a defensive unit it would 'be hard to find a better gr;oup. OuY second team backfield comprises only fo"r players we know of who might be able tq outplay them in this department. Friedman is a wonderful safety man and can run back kicks. Mishel, although not the ball carrier that Friedman is, can back up a line, and with Levison and Miller ih front of him, nothing, but the Twentieth, Century Limited could get by for a gain. The second string backfield consisting of Goldberg, Cohen, Glauber and Goldman make a wonderful reserve combination forthe first team., Any one of tTiem could be inserted in the first string backfield without breaking up the smoothness of. the attack. Goldberg, North Dakota, is a competent field general and an excellent passer and-end runner. Go:ldman can drop kick, pass and run off tackle. He is also a deadly tackier. Cohen is. mainlya line plunger and is very powerful on the defense. In Red Glauber of Virginia, we have a terrible threat,. He can buck a line, circle an end qr slice a tackle, besides being able to kick and pass. For all around playing Glauber is the ideal back. The main differeuiEe between the first and second team backfields is one of speed and offensive power. This year aibove all others has proven that a strong, offensive is.the.best defensive. The only way to win a football game is make touchdowns, and the first .string backfield is one that can do just thati Every one of the men chosen ac- counted'for a large,number of points during the season..
., The Jewish boys this season seemed to have,made a play foi* backfield pbsi-. tions. Among those who deserve mention are: Gassner,' Rosenirerg, Cornell; Sesit, Kaplan, Columbia; Cornsweet, Brown;Don5tein and.Raskin, G. C. N. Y.; Wexler and.Fisher, Ni Y, U.; Rosen, Rutgers; Wetzel,.Oregon; Kessler,: Maryland; and Herbeirt, Boston University.
...Ends' ¦\'' If any weakness is to be found in our AU-Jewish teams it is located on the ends of the second tesLm.. The. two first team ends, Mishkin and Apltz, are two^ fast; hard-driving, rangy boys, both fast getting down under kicks, hard to box out of a play and quick lo get; into and breakup plays! On the receiving end of a forward pass both ends are, sure catches; iMishkin is, har.d to'tackle &nd runs well in a broken field. iWhen interference is needed both men are unusually good. The sec¬ ond string ends are far. behind Mishkin and Apitz. Weinsteiri of N- Y. Aggies, and Glasser of Delaware, are chosen because they played good defensive ball,; Both jads played on teams that virere only fair and it was their good defensiye work that kept scores low. - For some unaccountable .reason few Jewish boys, went out for end pos.itions; Rudman of Harvard, Seidler. of C. C. N. Y., and Goldman of Tufts, were about the only boys to do anything as ends.
Linemen
The,line of either,of our All-Jewish teams would gladden thehe^Vt of any coach in the country. Nothing but -the slowest kind of backfield would fail to. gain with such a line in front of them. iMosCovitz and Klein as a pair, of tackles on the defensive.make secondary defense playing a pleasure. This big pair oiE tackles could stop a bull that started to slice off tackle. Both.boys smeared plays with their, hands and were excellent in.giving interference and fast getting down '¦.¦¦ {Continued on page 6)
