The Hakoah Sports Club was faced today with conflicting orders from the Jewish sports authorities and the Austrian sports authorities on participation in the Olympic games.
The Austrian Maccabi Union, Jewish sports organization, issued an order forbidding athletes of the Hakoah club to go to Berlin next month for the Olympics.
The Austrian sports authorities, however, threatened the club with two years disqualification if it refused to participate in the Berlin games.
