( comments) "Sid Breitbart Soccer Champ '35" However they were friends as he shows up in a 1936 photo. eNo evidence George played on his team, but Google found in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency Nov 15, 1934 "SOCCER SCRIBBLINGS… The new Hakoah Soccer Club, a combination of the old Hakoahs and the Jordans, seems headed for a banner year. Even before this merger these two great amateur teams were playing heads up ball. Last year the Hakoahs were the league leaders in the race for honors in the “A” division of the German-American league. The Jordans, a comparatively new club, nevertheless had the best young talent in these parts. Their team played one of the finest brands of soccer that we have ever seen in the East. This group played on the style of the former Hakoah All-Stars and as a result had a great following in the Bronx. The fans, as we have said before, would rather see these young Jordans perform than watch a proteam cavort on the field. This fusing of two great clubs should make for an excellent brand of soccer in the metropolitan area. Max Sholom, who at one time played with the Jordans, is only one of the expert goal booters on the team. Ben Glassman, topnotch goalie, seems to have his position cinched and performed admirably last week in the Hatikvah game. Others are the Liss boys, Max Slone, brother of the great Phil, and Max Ruback. RATES JACK NAGLER BEST TECHNICIAN From the Jordans, now on the combined Hakoah team, there came Jack Nagler, who played in Vienna several years ago, and who, in our estimation, is the best technician in amateur ranks. It is said of him that he “can make a soccer ball talk.” Chester Marks, former all-scholastic while in high school, is another star soccerite on this club. Sid Breitbart is one of those talented all-round young men you find on every good team. He is such an adept at this game that he can be out in any position and fill it to perfection. He is twenty years old and hails from Europe where he learned the game.
