...karate class has a special problem: the students' yarmulkes keep falling off. But the pupils persist. Thirty of them have come from all parts of the city to the gym of the Williamsburg Young Men's Hebrew Association, once a breeding ground for that special brand of New York basketball played by short, quick young men.
