The Maccabi Athletic Club of Los Angeles, composed largely of Israeli students in this area, scored a 5-0 victory over the United German-Hungarian Sports Club of Philadelphia here yesterday to capture the Dewar Trophy for the third time in the past five years. The game was the final one in the U.S. National Challenge Open Cup series sponsored by the U.S. Soccer Federation, which pitted the West Coast champions against the champion East Coast team. The Maccabis previously won the trophy, established 64 years ago by Sir Thomas Dewar, the Scottish distiller, in 1973 and 1975. They were the only Jewish team participating in the tournament.
