Four members of the Israeli National Soccer Team which is now in this country on a goodwill tour, today donated blood to the Brooklyn Red Cross blood donor center as a token of appreciation for the blood plasma sent to Israel by Americans of all faiths. The four who gave blood are Shmuel Ben Dror, Shimon Zimmerman, Israel Weiss and Erie Rosenbaum. The team will play its final game, before returning to Israel on Israel on Oct. 17 at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, N.Y.
