— The Tel Aviv Maccabi basketball team lost the second leg of its two-game match against the Moscow basketball team, Central Sports Club of the Red Army, in Brussels last Thursday by 81-83 after beating the Russian team 85-74 the day before. Israel now stands at the head of the six European national champion teams. A win against Real Madrid in Spain later this week will ensure the Israeli champions a place in the European finals in March.
