A group of 45 teen-age Israeli athletes are scheduled to come to the United States this week to take part in the North American Maccobia Games to be held in Detroit. They will participate in the fields of gymnastics tennis, table tennis, basketball, and swimming. The athletes will be accompanied by five trainers, one in each field; a team manager; and Azriel Milchan, deputy chairman of Maccabi Israel. The Games are expected to be attended by some 1,500 athletes between the ages of 12 to 16 from the U.S., Canada, Europe and other areas.
