The Hakoah Soccer team was met on its arrival here by a large delegation of prominent Jewish and non-Jewish citizens.

The members of the party were officially greeted by Commissioner of Public Works, A. A. Sprague, representing Mayor Dover, who is out of town. The party was then taken for a tour of the Union Stockyards, and were the guests of Swift and Co. at a luncheon.

The Hakoah team will be the guests of the Spartas Soccer Club today when they will have an opportunity to see their Sunday opponents in action.

The advance sale of tickets indicates that twenty-five thousand will witness the game on Sunday.

The Jewish Welfare Board is planning a traveling exhibit of Jewish art, to be shown in a number of cities in which it has constituent societies.

The Jewish Welfare Board was active in arranging the exhibit of Jewish art which is being conducted by the Jewish Women’s Clubs of Chicago, at the Jewish People’s Institute, Chicago. The same exhibit was shown early in April by the Jewish Centers Association of Detroit, Mich., 238 art objects being on exhibition.
