Harry “Jammy” Moskowitz” established a reputation  as one of the best athletes in Brooklyn in the 1920’s  He starred in basketball, football and baseball  at Commercial High School and led the basketball team to the 1923 PSAL championship. He  began playing professionally in 1924 with independent teams in the  New York City. In 1925,  Marty Friedman recruited him  to play for the Cleveland Rosenblums in the newly-formed American Basketball League. Moskowitz turned down the offer because he had begun coaching at James Madison High School in New York City, a position he would hold for four  decades. His team captured the city basketball title in 1939 and 1943 and overall won 547 games against 224 losses.  In 1928-29, he did play in the ABL for the New York Hakoahs. Moskowitz also established a reputation as a fine college referee and  officiated many important games at Madison Square Garden in the 1940s.

Ray Morstadt was  a football and basketball star at Marquette University.  Morstadt led the basketball team in scoring during each of his three varsity seasons. After acheiving just one season with a winning record during the previous eight years, Marquette  posted posted a 40-14 record during Morstadt’s three varsity seasons.  In 1935, Morstadt joined the Akron Firestones, a longtime AAU power, that had just entered  the Midwest Basketball Conference.  Morstadt led the team in scoring and was a integral  part of the Firestone’s 16-2 record and  capture of the league championship.  In early January of the following year, Morstadt suffered a severe Achilles injury that ended his season and radically changed the course of his career. Mordtadt played for Goodyear for two more  years, but he was never the same player as before the injury.
