**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Chaney Sets Nats’ Pace In Victory

Moline, Ill.- More firmly entrenched in fourth place than at any time this season after defeating the Tri-City Blackhawks 46 to 41 here last, the Syracuse Nationals rested today before leaving for Sheboygan for the second of four road games scheduled this week. A low scoring game developed last night as the Nats forged ahead by a slim margin in the second period and never again were headed. At half time Syracuse led 20 to 19 and during the third period increased the lead to 32 to 26. Moline then spurted to pull up to within one point again at 34 to 33 but Syracuse had the needed drive to withstand the rally. John Chaney continued to play good ball on the road and tallied 15 points to lead Syracuse in scoring, followed by Rizzo who contributed 14. Don Otten paced Tri-Cities with 13 points. Mike Novak and George Nelmark were ruled out of the game before it ended via the personal foul route, but Jack Dugger took over Novak’s spot and Nugent replaced Nelmark without affecting too much the Nats’ efficiency.

SYRACUSE: Chaney, f (7-1-15), Nugent, f (1-3-5), Rizzo, f (4-6-14), Novak, c (1-1-3), Dugger, c (0-0-0), Nelmark, g (1-3-5), Sharkey, g (1-0-2) TOTALS (16-14-46). TRI-CITY: Gates, f (1-3-5), Grunzweig, f (1-3-5), Schu, f (0-1-1), Otten, c (5-3-13), Grenert, g (3-1-7), Hassett, g (3-1-7), H Rader, g (2-0-4), Thurston, g (0-1-1) TOTALS (15-11-41).

**Syracuse Post Standard**- Ogdensburg Team
Ready For Battle With All-Syracuse

North Country Champions Will Prove
Stubborn Foe

Basketball supremacy will be at stake
tonight when the undefeated All-Syracuse quintet plays the Company I five of
Ogdensburg, champions of Northern New York, at the State Armory and followers
of the court game, who have followed the fortunes of Captain Jim Tormey and his
mates will be out in force to witness the contest, which bids fair to develop
the most stirring contest of the season to date. In anticipation of a strenuous
contest the members of the All-Syracuse team went through a long practice last
night. New combinations to be used against the invaders were rehearsed and
every effort will be made to send the visitors down the road to defeat which
other opponents of the local team have been forced to take. Manager Wilbur
Crisp of the All-Syracuse team announced last night that he had made
arrangements to play two games each week, beginning next Saturday night, when
the strong Knights of Columbus five of Utica will oppose the locals at the
State Armory. The Ogdensburg five will reach the city early this morning. Their
manager, Thomas McNally, reports his men in fine condition and confident of
giving the Syracuse five a hard struggle. The teams will line up as follows for
the main game:

ALL-SYRACUSE: Tormey (capt) rf, Rafter,
lf, Schwarzer, c, Casey, lg, Crisp, rg. OGDENSBURG: McNally, rf, Clouthier, lf,
Ladoucer, c, Farrand, lg, Cody, rg.

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Nats Home Thursday To Combat Anderson

The next attempt of the Syracuse Nationals basketball team to advance in the league standings is scheduled to take place at the Jefferson St. Armory Thursday night when the Nats oppose the high scoring Anderson Packers. Anderson now occupies second place in the Western Division pennant chase and may be in first spot before the Thursday game here as it faces the leading Indianapolis team on Tuesday. A win over Indianapolis would put Anderson in the lead. Syracuse has been victorious in its last three home starts defeating Detroit, Fort Wayne, and Indianapolis in that order. Thursday’s game will be the first meeting of Syracuse and Anderson this year, and Benny Borgmann hopes to keep the Nats winning streak alive. Leading the Anderson team to Syracuse will be Coach Murray Mendenhall who is in his first year with the team. The most publicized player on the squad is Howie Schultz who also plays first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers of the Nationals Baseball League. Schultz is leading scorer for the Packers having dropped in 151 points for his first 13 games of the club. Another member of the visitors who has averaged 10 points per game is Rollie Seltz who co-captained the Hamline University team with Schultz in collegiate days. The Packers scored 760 points in 13 games for an average of 58.5 points per game for the highest average in the loop. Thursday’s game will be the first National League start for Syracuse since the Indianapolis game but the squad was intact for an exhibition schedule through the east this week.

Syracuse Nats Down Hartford
Hartford, Conn- Staving off a late rally of their rivals, the Syracuse Nationals defeated the Hartford professional basketball team, 72-65, Sunday in an exhibition contest. The Nats won by the same score over Coach Ben Borgmann’s hometown Paterson Crescents Saturday at Paterson, N.J.

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Nats Shaded in Chicago

George Mikan, who recently traded his basketball togs for law duties, was back with the Chicago Gears again today under a “truce” agreement and celebrated his return by leading his team to a 62-60 victory over the Syracuse Nationals last night. Mikan scored 22 points on nine field goals and four free throws. The game was tied seven times in the last quarter as the Nationals, led by the former Loyola start Mike Novak, tried to whip the Chicago club on its home court. Novak got 18 points. The game was decided from the foul line where Chicago made good on 14 of 17 attempts while Syracuse missed 14 of 25. Mikan stopped playing several weeks ago and brought court action to break his playing contract with the Gears. His suit claimed the contract protected the club but not his own interests.

SYRACUSE: McCahan, f (0-1-1), Rizzo, f (5-3-13), Dugger, f (1-0-2), Novak, c (8-2-18), Nelmark, g (3-1-7), Meehan, g (1-2-4), Nugent, g (3-0-6), Sharkey, g (0-1-1), Chaney, f (4-0-8) TOTALS (25-10-60).

Score at half-time- Chicago 31, Syracuse 28. Free throws missed- Syracuse: Novak, Meehan, McCahan, Rizzo 2, Dugger 2, Nelmark 3, Chaney 4. Chicago: Brookfield, McDermott. Officials- “Dutch” Kreznecki and Lou Mihalek.

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Nats Move To Rochester For Action

Syracuse Humbled On Boston Floor

The Philadelphia Warriors, battling to climb out of the Eastern
Division cellar of the National Basketball Association, play host to the Fort
Wayne Pistons today. The Warriors, only 1½ games back of slumping New York,
routed Rochester, 109-101, last night as Neil Johnston scored 45 points to set
a new Convention Hall (Philadelphia) scoring mark. Johnston eclipsed the old
mark of 43 set by Boston’s Bill Sharman in 1952, as he clicked for 15 of 23
field goals attempts and 15 free throws. Philadelphia scored 30 points in the
third period and 30 again in the final to win going away. The Boston Celtics
moved into first place in the Eastern Division by upending the Syracuse
Nationals, 114-88, before a crowd of 10,274 in Boston. Ed Macauley scored 25
points to lead all scorers. The victory boosted Boston one full game in front
of Syracuse. The New York Knickerbockers meet the Celtics in New York, the
Nationals are in the lair of the Rochester Royals, and the Minneapolis Lakers
and the Milwaukee Hawks meet in Waterloo, Iowa in tonight’s games.

SYRACUSE: King (4-0-8), Schayes (3-8-14), Kenville (10-1-21), Rocha

**Syracuse Herald American**- Biasone To Travel With Nationals

Professional basketball is missing at the Sate Armory this week as the Nats swing into a road trip which keeps them in the Midwest until Tuesday, Feb. 4, when the Detroit Gems make their final appearance of the year here. The Nats, who have suffered losses in their last three starts, have a tough road ahead this week, opening in Moline against Tri-Cities on Tuesday. Thursday the team meets Sheboygan at Sheboygan, Friday, Chicago Gears at Chicago, and Saturday the Oshkosh Al-Stars at Oshkosh. An exhibition game against St. Louis is scheduled in Chicago for Sunday before the team returns home for the Detroit game. A squad of nine men will accompany Coach Benny Borgmann and Owner Dan Biasone on the trip. It will be the first time that Biasone has taken a western jaunt with the team. Tuesday’s game with Tri-Cities will offer the Nats an opportunity to take over sole possession of fourth place which is now occupied by the Tri-City outfit.

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Nats Return To Hubtown For Action

Collegian Jim Tucker will be in uniform of the Syracuse Nationals
Sunday when the club returns from Boston for its encounter with Philadelphia. The
Nats profited from the “kid’s night” experiment taking a game lead over Boston
after a 94-79 triumph over Fort Wayne. The Celts bowed to Rochester in
Philadelphia and can do no better than tie the Syracusans in their tussle
tonight at Beantown. Despite snow and cold 3,062 fans, including 772 children
under 15, were in attendance. It was the largest single game turnout to witness
the Zollners here in two seasons. Tucker, 6 feet 7, Duquesne student, will
continue studies while participating in all Nats home games and some road
battles. A fourth period splurge enabled the Cervimen to keep a perfect home
record against Fort Wayne which has never won a game here. Ahead 48-34 at
halftime and by 16 points early in the third period, Syracuse saw the advantage
cut to 58-56 before it started the crushing drive. At Boston tonight the Nats
will be seeking their initial win away from home against the Celts. In two
previous tries the club has been beaten 107-74 and 94-90. Both Boston and
Syracuse are idle tomorrow.

FORT WAYNE: Hutchins (6-4-16), Meineke (3-2-8), Rosenthal (3-1-7),
Foust (4-2-10), Houbregs (2-1-5), Phillip (2-6-10), Zaslofsky (6-3-15), Brian

**Syracuse Herald**- All-Syracuse Wins Another
Local Quintet Defeats Frankfort In Fast Basketball Game

The All-Syracuse basketball team added another victory to its long list Wednesday night when it defeated the Frankfort aggregation by a score of 16 to 11 in one of the best games of the year. Close guarding featured the play of both sides, the issue being decided mainly by Crisp’s work from the foul line, the local athlete showing to much better advantage in his free shots than did the 15-foot mark men for Frankfort. Casey and Rafter were the only Syracusans to tally field goals, each of these players scoring twice from the open. Frankfort had only three field goals, two being tallied by Andre and one by Sullivan. The first half was played under professional rules and All-Syracuse led at the end of the period by a 7 to 3 score. In the second, under intercollegiate play, the visitors rallied and brought their score up within a point of All-Syracuse in the first ten minutes, the tally at that time being 8 to 7. A field goal by Rafter and two fouls by Crisp, gave Syracuse a safe lead once more. Sullivan and Andre shot field goals for Frankfort in the closing minutes but these points were offset by Crisp’s foul shots. Saturday night the All-Tonawanda basketball team, another aggregation which has a victory over the Buffalo Orioles in its record, will oppose All-Syracuse at the Armory. The summary of last night’s game follows:

ALL-SYRACUSE: Martin, lf (0-0-0), Rafter, rf (2-1-5), Tormey, c (0-0-0), Casey, lf (2-0-4), Crisp, rg (0-7-7) TOTALS (4-8-16). FRANKFORT: Bott, lf (0-0-0), Bowen, rf (0-0-0), Sullivan, c (1-1-3), Andre, lg (2-4-8), Hall, rg (0-0-0) TOTALS (3-5-11).

**Syracuse Journal**- Frankfort Team Defeated, 16 To 11, By All-Syracuse

The All-Syracuse basketball team defeated the Frankfort five, 16 to 11, at the State Armory Wednesday night. The first half was played under professional rules and contrary to expectations the local team outplayed the visitors and led at the end of the period, 7 to 3. The intercollegiate rules were used during the second period and Crisp’s men increased their lead.

ALL-SYRACUSE: Martin, lf (0-0-0), Rafter, rf (2-1-5), Tormey, c (0-0-0), Casey, lf (2-0-4), Crisp, rg (0-7-7) TOTALS (4-8-16). FRANKFORT: Bott, lf (0-0-0), Bowen, rf (0-0-0), Sullivan, c (1-1-3), Andre, lg (2-4-8), Hall, rg (0-0-0) TOTALS (3-5-11).

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Jerry Rizzo May Draw Suspension

Ward Lambert, National Basketball League commissioner, has advised the management of the Syracuse Nationals that he has under consideration a possible suspension to Jerry Rizzo, speedy Nat forward, for Rizzo’s attack upon a referee in the Anderson game at Anderson Feb 10.

No definite action has been taken in either case.

Novak About The Best Basketball Center

Mike Novak of the Syracuse Nationals comes pretty close to being the best center in the National Basketball League, probably the best center in American basketball today. The lanky Syracusan drew continued plaudits from Les Harrison, boss of the Rochester Royals, Thursday as he featured the play of Bennie Borgmann’s men in defeating the Anderson Packers. Dolly King, Negro ace of the Royals, was in party of Rochesterians, scouting the Nats and Packers, and he was the only man inclined to give Harrison an argument when he nominated Novak as the No. 1 man in the center position today. King was inclined to think Risen the Indianapolis Kautskys capable of holding Novak to a standstill. King admitted he was surprised by several bursts of speed which Novak turned on during the contest and said it was the best game he had ever seen Novak play. “He’s smooth, always calm and collected, and as good a man on a pivot play, or shooting from the pivot play, as any man in basketball today,” King said. “But that confounded Risen is the best man following up a missed shot I have ever seen. He gets a world of points for his team that way and he is a tough guy taking the ball off the back board after his opponents’ shots.” Harrison’s great enthusiasm for the Syracuse cause was genuine, but it was admitted as purely business. “A National League team in Syracuse that flourishes is the greatest asset Rochester can have,” he maintained. Harrison maintains that Syracuse has made great progress in its first year in the league and has the foundation for a team that can finish rather well this year and fortify itself during the summer and early fall months for contention all the way next year. “Put Syracuse in there fighting all the way and it will mean a great season for the Nationals and it will help our season.” Harrison, a promoter, is making basketball history in Rochester. Rochester has been without newspapers for the last two months, due to labor difficulties, yet in those same weeks, without publication of scores, league standing and the like, every game in Rochester has been a sell-out, in advance for the pros, and the University of Rochester has had four sellouts for games. The building used by the Rochester pros has a capacity of 3,900 persons.
Enki Gokuu/Skills & Abilities

## Skills & Abilities

**Enki** was a talented individual whose abilities were respected by many.

#### Immense Strength

**Enki** was widely recognized for his immense strength, the levels of which have been described as almost inhuman since his teenage years . He has proven his superior strength through such feats as sending Samon Gokuu flying with a single punch which caused his weapon to break and the wall he hit to crack ; breaking large boulders with one strike of his hand; carry copious amounts of rocks and wood up large mountains with little effort ; greatly wound and even supposedly kill others with one hand  and, ultimately, remove his own heart in an act of suicide . His strength renders him almost undefeatable, having overwhelmed Samon, Kenshirou Yozakura and Inori Hakkai with very little effort; his achievements have gained great admiration from inmates and guards alike .

#### Qigong

Like Samon Gokuu, Enki is a master of various qigong techniques and is noted to be very powerful, as exemplified by the large number of charms required to seal his Ki; he was powerful enough to quite easily break free of a sealing technique performed by Inori Hakkai, whose reaction suggested that doing so should have been difficult . When exerted, his Ki is light blue in color  and he is able to perform a variety of offensive and defensive techniques. He is also able to sense the Ki or "presence" of others, able to distinguish between different types of "presence" with little difficulty , as well as hide his own so that others cannot sense it .

**Utica Observer Dispatch**- High Scoring Due In Polio Contest

A high-scoring game may be in the making when the Harlem Yankees and the Syracuse Nats clash in the infantile paralysis exhibition game at UFA Feb. 8. Since joining the American League, the Yankees have captured six of seven home games, losing only to the Scranton Miners. Harlem has already demonstrated its scoring punch. Twice the Harlem five scored more than 100 points, and one of those games found the Yankees lacing Hartford, 117-70. Nevertheless, the Yankees will be the underdogs against the Nats, rated by many as the top pro team in the nation. The Yanks will be armed with array of topflight Negro basketball talent to throw at the Nats. Harlem moved into Saratoga as its home city when Saratoga Spa promoters opened the city to the Yankees. Originally, the Yankees had their home court in New York. The game is being sponsored by the Utica Sports Boosters Association with George Hodges, Jr., as chairman. Tickets for the game can be obtained at Webb's. In the valley reservations may be made by calling Herkimer 1470-R.

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Oshkosh All-Stars Battle Nats At Armory Drillhall

Wisconsin Five Seeks Revenge; Visitors Rankled Over Home Loss

The Oshkosh All-Stars, smarting from a defeat dealt out by the Syracuse Nationals in Wisconsin last week-end, are in Syracuse for a battle with their conquerors at the W. Jefferson St. Armory tonight. Syracuse holds a 2-1 game advantage over the invaders, losing the first game at Oshkosh, then winning here and back in Oshkosh in the second and third meetings. Bob Carpenter, former East Texas College athlete, is leading scorer for the All-Stars and seventh in the league standing, having amassed 331 points in 27 starts for a 13.3 average. His teammate center, Gene Englund, is close behind with 300 points in 26 contests. When Syracuse beat Oshkosh Saturday in the Wisconsin city it was the first time the All-Stars had been beaten at home in 10 games. The club occupies second place in the western division race with a record of 16 wins and 11 losses. Jerry Rizzo still tops the Syracuse scorers with 297 points but for the last week John Chaney has sparked the Syracuse attack. Against Detroit Tuesday night Chaney dropped in nine baskets and two fouls for 20 points while playing less than one-half of the game. Coach Benny Borgmann is hopeful of bringing the club to the .500 mark before the race ends, plans to use a starting lineup of Chaney and Sharkey at the forwards, Novak center, and Rizzo and Nelmark guards. Last night in Utica the Nats defeated the Utica entry in the New York State League, 53-49, as Mike Novak led the offensive with 13 points. Bob Dewey, former Colgate University star, tallied 14 points for the losers.

SYRACUSE: Rizzo, lf (3-3-9), McCahan (2-1-5), Nelmark, rf (4-3-11), Nugent (3-2-8), Novak, c (6-1-13), Chaney, lg (4-1-9), Sharkey, rg (0-0-0) TOTALS (22-11-53).

**Syracuse Herald**- All-Syracuse In Last Local Game Tonight

Crisp’s Men To Meet Strong Bausch & Lomb Team Of Rochester

The All-Syracuse basketball team will play its last local game of the
season tonight when it meets the crack Bausch & Lomb aggregation of
Rochester on the Armory court. The Bausch & Lomb team Tuesday night
defeated the Buffalo Orioles in the third and deciding game of a series between
the two clubs, and Rochester fans are now hailing the Bausch & Lomb
aggregation as the best in their city. The game at the Armory tonight will be
in the nature of a benefit for the players of the All-Syracuse team. The
players have been under contract and paid at a stipulated rate all season, but
the management, which had a remarkably season decided to show its appreciation
of the work of the men by staging this game and turning over the entire
proceeds to them to be divided evenly among all men who have played 19 games or
more. The Rochester team will line up tonight with Tichner and Horn as
forwards; Clark, center; Angel and Green as guards. All-Syracuse will present
Rafter and Crisp in the forward positions, Tormey at center, Barsha and Casey,
guards.

**Greenfield Recorder-Gazette**- Celtics Bow Out Twice

Dolph Schayes of the Syracuse Nationals ranks today as the foremost scorer in professional basketball annals. The 29-year-old former New York University luminary eclipsed retired George Mikan's all-time pro cager scoring record by collecting 23 points as Syracuse drubbed the Detroit Pistons, 135-109, yesterday. The 6-8, 220-pound Schayes, now has scored 11,770 points in 10 years of pro play, including the 1948-49 season when Syracuse was in the National Basketball League. Mikan, now the Minneapolis coach, tallied 11,764 points in nine pro campaigns. In other games yesterday the Cincinnati Royals overwhelmed the Boston Celtics, 115-97, the Philadelphia Warriors, paced by Neil Johnston's 33 points, downed the New York Knicks 115-110 in overtime and the St. Louis Hawks turned back the Minneapolis Lakers, 111-105. Syracuse bolted top a 40-26 first quarter lead and never was threatened in posting its 11th straight home court success. Larry Costello headed the scoring parade for the Nats with 28 points while George Yardley topped Detroit with 25. Cincinnati built up a 56-38 halftime bulge and coasted the rest of the way against Boston. Jack Twyman, who hit on his first 11 field goal attempts, was high for the Royals with 26. The Celts saw their Eastern Division lead over the Syracuse cut to 4½ games. In games Saturday, St. Louis defeated Boston, 102-98, Detroit overpowered Minneapolis, 129-102, and Cincinnati bowled over Syracuse, 105-100.

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Nats Host To Toledo ‘5’ Tonight

The fast travelling Syracuse National basketball team, which has won four of its last five starts, is presented the opportunity to gain a full game in the chase with the Toledo Jeeps for third place tonight, when the Jeeps invade the W. Jefferson St. Armory floor for the second time this season. A brisk advance sale indicates a capacity house. The contest marks the third meeting of the year between the rivals. The Jeeps hold a 2-to-0 game edge over the Nats, winning the season’s opener in Toledo, 57-42, and then beating the Nats, 67-54, in Syracuse. Toledo has a league record of 16 wins and a like number of defeats, while Syracuse has won 12 and lost 16. The Jeeps, led by player-coach Julie Rivlin, boast the third highest scorer in the loop in George Sobek, former Notre Dame star. Another member who rates high in the scoring race is Hal Tidrick, a Washington and Jefferson College graduate. The Nats will be at full strength, but the starting lineup is undecided due to the recent improvement in the squad. Mike Novak, George Nelmark and Jerry Rizzo are regarded as sure starters, while John Chaney, Steve Sharkey, Chick Meehan, Bob Nugent, John Gee and Jack Dugger will see action. At Schenectady last night the Nats ran a consecutive win streak to six games with a seven-day period by defeating the Hawaiian All-Stars 77 to 65 in an exhibition game.

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Nats Shade Oshkosh By Point Before 2,600

Coming from behind twice, the Syracuse Nationals pro basketball team edged the Oshkosh All-Stars 54-53 in one of the most thrilling finishes to a game this season at the W. Jefferson St. Armory before 2,600 howling fans last night. The win, Syracuse’s fourth in its last five starts, gave the club a record of twelve victories against 16 defeats and left it but two games behind third place Toledo which it meets here Saturday night. Mike Novak and Steve Sharkey paced Syracuse in scoring with 15 and 14 points respectively. Each figured prominently in the late Syracuse rally before being expelled via the personal foul route. The Nats who had forged ahead 32 to 27 at half time experienced a decided lapse in the third period when they went seven minutes without scoring and dropped behind 45-32 as the period ended. After five minutes of the last quarter the local team trailed by six points at 52-46. The Nats then regained their poise and Sharkey dropped in a basket after a fine pass from Nugent and Novak followed with two baskets, one on a pivot play and the other on a set shot outside the foul circle. Oshkosh was held to a foul point and Syracuse trailed, 53-52. Sharkey then intercepted an Oshkosh pass and dribbled in for a layup shot to put Syracuse ahead. It ended the scoring with two minutes and 15 seconds remaining. Oshkosh gained possession of the ball, apparently felt sure it could score, and started freezing tactics until the final minutes when Carpenter missed a pivot shot and Syracuse took the ball. Novak fouled Edwards and went out on personals, and the visitor who had made good on eight of nine previous foul attempts missed both tries. Syracuse took over and started a dazzling display of passwork which twice put men free men under the basket but both Chaney and Nelmark missed on tries with Syracuse the ball, and holding possession at the final whistle. In the first half the Nats started strong going ahead 6 to 1 but Oshkosh successfully stopped the Syracuse pivot play at this point and took a 15 to 11 lead at the end of the period. Borgmann called for a switch in Syracuse tactics moving Novak out of the pivot spot, and Syracuse began to click to overcome the lead and go ahead at one time by a 31 to 21 margin and at the half led 32 to 27.

SYRACUSE: Chaney, f (3-1-7), Gee (0-0-0), Rizzo, f (1-5-7), McCahan, (0-0-0), Novak, c (6-3-15), Nelmark, g (2-1-5), Sharkey (7-0-14), Meehan, g (2-0-4), Nugent (1-0-2), Dugger (0-0-0) TOTALS (22-10-54).

Score at half time- Syracuse 32, Oshkosh 27. Free throws missed- Syracuse: Chaney 3, Novak 3, Gee 2, Meehan 3, Sharkey; Oshkosh: Edwards 3, Englund, Carpenter 3. Officials- Spike Garnish and Buddy Baker.

**Cortland Standard**- From Down The Sports Alley By Rob Randall

From Louisville, KY, after All-American honors at Western Kentucky State at Bowling Green, KY, 6'3" Forest Able has returned his signed contract to the Syracuse Nationals. Able becomes the third rookie to join the Nats roster. Six-foot nine-inch Bob Hopkins of Grambling College, LA, and 6'3" local favorite Don Savage of LeMoyne College, now working with the Nats sales staff, had previously joined the Cervimen's 1956-57 roster. They will report for preseason drills about October 1st.

**Syracuse Post Standard**- Nationals Sign Able, Western Kentucky Star

Clutch Performer

Aggressive Forest Able of Western Kentucky State has returned his signed contract to the Syracuse Nationals, Business Manager Bob Sexton announced last night. Able, who stands 6 foot 3, is described by Sexton as the Al Cervi and Bullet Bill Gabor type on the basis of his clutch performances for the Bowling Green, KY school. He tossed in a 59-foot field goal to beat arch-rival Eastern Kentucky with six seconds remaining, and with 12 seconds left he scored the winning basket against Midwestern U. In another game he scored six points in the last 58 seconds and Western Kentucky won by that margin. He also won seven consecutive field goals in the opening minutes of still another outstanding performance. The third draft choice of the Nats, Able last season was named to Sport Magazine's second All-America team. Also picked on the team was Joe Holup of George Washington U., the Nats' No. 1 draft choice. The club is having trouble signing Holup. Able's best shot is a one-hand jumper but he also is dangerous on outside set shots. He was the floor general for Ed Diddle's Hilltoppers for whom he scored 1,156 points. He is a native of Louisville, KY. He is the third player under contract to the Nats, following 6-foot eight Bob Hopkins of Grambling College, LA, and Don Savage, who will be making another attempt to make the pro grade after two spectacular seasons with the Parris Island Marines.

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Davies Leads Royals Past Nats, 60-53

Refusing to respect the Syracuse Nationals home winning streak, the Rochester Royals invaded the W Jefferson St. Armory and routed the Nats by a 60-53 score before a capacity 3,200 assembly last night. Bob Davies, who doubles as a professional courtman and coach of the undefeated Seton Hall quint, sparked the Rochester team to its ninth straight win with an outstanding exhibition of floor work and shooting. Davies connected for 18 points to pace the scorers. The Syracuse club, off form, never led although on two occasions the locals pulled to within a point of the champions. Fuzzy Levane opened the game’s scoring with a two-pointer for Rochester, and Rizzo made good on a foul in the opening minutes, but then the visitors pulled away to a 18-10 lead at the quarter with Davies leading the way. During the second period Syracuse put on its most determined bid of the game holding the Royals to one basket and two foul tosses to creep up to a 22-20 deficit at half time. As the third period opened both teams missed several shots before Bob Nugent dropped in a foul and once again Syracuse trailed by only one point. Here Davies took a shot from the corner and long John Gee was charged with interfering with the ball as it hit the hoop, and though the ball failed to dent the meshes Rochester was awarded the two points. Rochester began to pull away as Red Holzman, Dolly King and Bob Davies clicked for two pointers while Syracuse was collecting a foul by Gee and a basket by Chaney. At the end of the third heat the Royals held a 37 to 29 margin. From that point on it seemed that nothing Syracuse did went right while Rochester could not miss, and with only four minutes of play remaining the Royals led by a 58-41 score. The Nats then put on a belated rally to come back within seven points as the game ended. Rizzo led the Syracuse scoring with 14 points with Novak contributing 13 to the losing cause while Holzman followed Davies in the Rochester scoring with 14 markers. By an odd coincidence the Nationals League scoring averages show that Rochester has average 61 points per game and Syracuse 53 and that was practically the final score. Rochester will appear here again on March 10. Officiating was criticized by both teams and fans.
SYRACUSE: Sharkey, f (0-0-0), Chaney, f (3-1-7), Nelmark, f (2-2-6), Novak, c (5-3-13), Rizzo, g (5-4-14), Gee, g (0-2-2), McCahan, g (0-0-0), Meehan, g (1-3-5), Nugent, g (1-4-6) TOTALS (17-19-53). ROCHESTER: Davies, f (6-6-18), Holzman, f (6-2-14), Johnson, c (0-2-2), Glamack, c (2-0-4), Levane, g (3-2-8), Cervi, g (4-0-8), King, g (2-2-6), Negretti, g (0-0-0) TOTALS (23-14-60).

**Kingston Daily Freeman**- Garden Threatens Ban On N.B.A. Basketball

Irish Warns Rough Tactics Must Stop

New York—The National Basketball Association today had one less team and two new headaches—a threat to abolish the pro sport in Madison Square Garden and a court suit filed against the NBA by owners of a former club. The Washington Capitols, tailenders in the league's Eastern Division with a 10-24 record, will be disbanded after playing in Philadelphia tonight. That will leave 10 clubs in the circuit—five in the Eastern Division and five in the Western section. The first rhubarb broke out yesterday when Ned Irish, executive vice=president of New York's Madison Square Garden, threatened to bar pro basketball from the big arena if "atrocious tactics" do not stop. Irish put the finger on the Syracuse Nationals and also took a verbal poke at the Baltimore Bullets. Danny Biasone, president of the Syracuse club, branded Irish's remarks "pure malarkey." Maurice Podoloff, NBA president, said he had no official report on the matter but indicated that officials will keep close tabs on over-aggressive players. The second rhubarb developed when, in Chicago, owners of the defunct Chicago Stags, who folded after last season because of financial problems, sued the NBA to get back their team franchise and players. The suit, filed in circuit court by the Chicago Basketball Club, Inc., charged that owners of seven NBA teams and Podoloff "conspired" to disfranchise the Stags and take away the club's players. Damages of $150,000 were asked in the suit, which named owners of the following NBA clubs: Minneapolis, New York, Syracuse, Tri-Cities, Rochester, Fort Wayne and Philadelphia. In his blast at the Syracuse Nationals, Irish said: "The kind of basketball they showed in last Saturday afternoon's game cannot be sold to the public. If this situation is not corrected there definitely will be no pro basketball in Madison Square Garden in future years." Irish referred to the rough, overtime game in which Syracuse beat New York, 87-85. It brought a free-for-all and 59 personal fouls. In refuting Irish's charges, Biasone suggested pro basketball in New York City would be "enhanced" if the "Garden managers and Knickerbocker people would try to win their games on the hardwood and not at the luncheon table." He declared that Irish's remarks "made it hard for me to believe he saw the game."

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Ferris Signs Nats Contract

Leo F. Ferris has a contract as general manager of the Syracuse Nats today, signing a delayed pact following a meeting of the club’s board of directors. It was reported Ferris had objected to some of the clauses in a previous contract offered and had been directing the front office without a binding agreement. It was said some of Ferris’ outside promotional activities have been curbed. Meanwhile Coach Al Cervi’s charges are drilling for a weekend series with the Knicks, the first in New York Saturday night, and back home with the same club Sunday night. Red Rocha was presented a third daughter by his wife, Virginia, in Syracuse General Hospital yesterday. They have two other daughters.

**Syracuse Post Standard**- World’s Champion Basket Tossers Wrangle Over
Officials For Contest Here

Record Crowd Will See Big Court Battle; Orioles And All-Syracuse Game
To Attract Immense Throng; Reserved Seats Gone; Early Sale Shatters All
Records- Teams Await Title Duel

The largest crowd that ever witnessed a basketball game in Syracuse will be on hand when the Buffalo Orioles, world’s
champions, and the All-Syracuse basketball team clash in the second game of the
series for the state championship at the armory tomorrow night. Late last night
it was announced that every reserved seat had been sold. Interest in the
contest reached a high pitch yesterday and many wagers were made upon the
outcome, with even money the prevailing favorite bet. Backers of All-Syracuse
are confident the local aggregation will reverse the verdict registered against
them in Buffalo last week when the Orioles won a bitterly contested game by a
score of 23 to 17. The full strength of the All-Syracuse quintet will be sent
into the fray. Captain Jim Tormey, who was suffering with an injured knee in
the game at Buffalo, has recovered and will be able to travel at top speed
against the invading quintet. That the Orioles are fearful of the outcome was
made evident yesterday when Al Heerdt, manager of the Buffalo aggregation, telephoned
Manager Crisp of All-Syracuse that he wanted Rochester officials to handle the
game. Inasmuch as the question of officials for the first two games of the
series was decided before the opening contest in Buffalo, Crisp declined to
yield to Heerdt’s demand and insisted that the men named originally be allowed
to officiate

**Auburn Citizen**- Armory To Be Packed Tomorrow

When the All-Syracuse five stacks up against the Owasco Canoe Club
tomorrow night on the State Armory court, local enthusiasts will see in action
a squad of basketeers who have made a name in collegiate basketball. In
addition the fans will see perform the holders of the champ title of Central
and Northern New York for the 1919-20 season. The O.C.C. management was
notified by wire today that the invaders will include Manager Wilbur Crisp, Jim
Tormey, Billy Rafter, Jim Casey, Johnny Barsha and Danny Martin. This is just
the team which Auburn has been dying to see in action here and tremendous
advance sale predicts that the big drill hall will be packed to capacity when
the whistle blows. Everyone on the visiting quint is a star in himself. Captain
Tormey was captain of the Georgetown University five several years back and
until the present season was the successful coach of the A.C.U. of Syracuse. Crisp
was formerly star player on the Orange varsity. As a foul point getter, he
stands by himself in this part of the state, for it was upon his eagle eye that
All-Syracuse has depended for the majority of victories. Rafter, Casey and
Martin are all former Syracuse varsity stellar performers while Barsha was
captain of this season’s Orange squad. Due to the fact that upon the outcome of
this battle rests the champ title for Central New York, more than ordinary
interest is attached. The local assembly of fans will be considerably augmented
by many rooters from Syracuse and neighboring points. Also the result of the
nature of the clash, the battle will be handled by two experts who can be
relied upon to adhere strictly to the present interpretation of rules and
regulations. Howard Ortner, coach of the Cornell varsity has been selected by
the local club while Risley of Utica is the choice of Manager Crisp. These men
will alternate at referee and umpire. The Canoeists held a lengthy practice
yesterday afternoon and all of the boys showed up well. Ogden was particularly
expert at shooting fouls. Davis, King, Aubin, Harrop and the Williamsons also
showed up well and all are filled with confidence and keen determination to
turn the tables thereby avenging the defeat handed them by Crisp’s aggregation
earlier in the season. The local will not hold usual practice this evening so
as to be rested for the acid test of the season. However Ogden will again
practice tossing today for Coach Stout fully realizes Auburn will need every
point. When All-Syracuse and the O.C.C. get into action, the fans will see two
perfect and well-oiled machines set and timed to take advantage of any
weakness. Those who have seen the Syracusans in motion are loud in their praise
of their splendid teamwork. Both teams practically play the same kind of game
as regards offense and defense of which the five man defense is the nucleus.
The big game will get under way at 9:15 prompt. Because of the expected jam, it
is advisable for those who can to come early. Also there are many good seats to
be had by calling Miller’s, phone 1515. All seats not called for by 9 o’clock
will be confiscated unless otherwise notified.
