**Syracuse Herald**- All-Syracuse Wins Another Game From Ogdensburg Men

The All-Syracuse basketball team last night defeated the Ogdensburg
quintet in a well played game at Watertown, the score being 16 to 7. It was the
first of a series of three games to be played between the two teams on the
Watertown court. Close guarding marked the play throughout. Dexter, who divided
the game at left forward with Crisp, was the star of the contest. The summary
follows:

ALL-SYRACUSE: Rafter, lf (1-0-2), Crisp, rf (0-2-2), Tormey, c (2-0-4),
Martin, lg (1-0-2), Casey, rg (0-0-0), Dexter, rf (3-0-6) TOTALS (7-2-16).
OGDENSBURG: Clouthier, lf (0-0-0), Wilson, rf (2-0-4), Ladoucer, c (1-1-3),
Cody, lg (0-0-0), Farrand, rg (0-0-0)
TOTALS (3-1-7).

Score at halftime- All-Syracuse 3, Ogdensburg 0. Referee- Deline. Time
of halves- 20 minutes.

The summary:

Score at halftime- All-Syracuse 3, Ogdensburg 0. Referee- Deline. Time
of halves- 20 minutes.

All-Syracuse decisively defeated the Ogdensburg Company I team, 16 to
7, on the Armory court here in the first of a series of three games to decide
the Northern New York basketball championship. The second duel will be staged
here next Friday night. Dexter, the former Cortland Sodality player, who
substituted for Crisp at right forward when the Syracuse pilot was shifted to
left guard, gave a brilliant exhibition, caging three field baskets. Rafter and
Tormey shared honors with Dexter. Wilson played creditably for the vanquished
aggregation. During the opening period the north country basket tossers
succeeded in holding their rivals to a 3 to 0 score by clever checking play.
With the opening of the final half, however, the Syracusans staged an attack
that could not be denied and piled up baskets on their opponents in regular
succession. Ladoceur, the Ogdensburg foul goal shooter, fell down miserably in
his attempts from the line and score but one in 15 tries. Crisp tallied twice
in five free throws. A crowd of 1,000 spectators, including a delegation of
Salt City fans, witnessed the contest.

Syracuse—The Syracuse Nationals, hitting for 17 of 19 free throws in the final period, defeated the New York Knickerbockers, 90 to 83, before 7,287 fans here last night to square the best-in-five series for the NBA Eastern Division title at two games apiece.
