A crack Israeli soccer aggregation named the “Six-Day War Victory Team,” will play four games in America, between October 8 and October 18, it was announced here today. A contract for the American tour was signed here today between the Israeli National Football Federation and Asher Wolk, representing the American Soccer League.

The Israeli eleven, according to Mr. Wolk, is set for games in New York and Los Angeles, and will probably play also in Toronto and in Rochester, N.Y. He said the American Zionist Youth Federation is co-sponsoring the tour. He declared also that each game will feature a “Salute to Israel.”
