Syracuse Herald Journal- Leo Ferris’ Resignation May Be Accepted
Tonight

Basketball Board Goes Into Session; Meet Tonight To Vote On Executive

Members of the Syracuse Nationals board of directors meet tonight at the
Onondaga Hotel to act upon the resignation of Leo Ferris as club general
manager. An informal poll of directors indicates the resignation will be
accepted, and that the post which carried a $15,000 salary will be left vacant
in an economy move. Several of the board favoring acceptance of Ferris’
resignation have indicated that Robert Sexton, publicity director, will be
given additional office duties with Dan Biasone to be designated as club
representative at league functions. Those favoring the economy move point out
that club expenses have increased $32,000 this season due to salary raises for
players, injury expenses and the hiring of a general manager. This amounts to
$1,000 additional cost per home game compared to last year. One director says
it has been estimated that it is necessary to receive $6,700 per home game to
break even at the present rate of expenses. Ferris submitted his resignation
last week and cited several differences of opinions with some members of the
board of directors as reasons for the move. He requested the resignation be
effective Jan. 10 or thereabouts, but some believe he will retain the post if
the differences can be ironed out. Even if the resignation is accepted Ferris
has indicated he will remain in Syracuse promotional field and retain his
$10,000 worth of stock as well as his post on the club’s board of directors. He
is also engaged in promoting an advertising magazine to be entitled “Syracuse
Entertainment and Sports Guide.” He says it will go to the printers in two weeks.

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Basketball Champs In Syracuse Tonight

Rochester Royals Face Nationals; Sell Out Is Due At Armory Court

The long delayed appearance of the Rochester Royals basketball team in Syracuse, awaited for two years by basketball enthusiasts, is at hand tonight as the strong royals meet the Syracuse Nationals in a league game before what promises to be a sellout crowd at the Jefferson Street Armory. Rochester is in its second year in the National League, having accomplished the feat of taking the championship during its first year of competition. This season the Royals have been even more impressive, winning 18 of the 22 starts. Syracuse will be protecting a home winning streak which has now reached five straight in tonight’s encounter and hopes to better that record tonight. The Royals are not taking the Syracuse team lightly, however, and have scouted the Nats in the last two games here since the local’s winning streak began to draw attention throughout the league. Four members of the Rochester quint have scored more than 200 points this season led by Al Cervi with 315 for an average of 14.3 points per game. This puts him in second place in the standings. Bob Davies, who divides his time between coaching at Seton Hall and playing for the Royals, has dropped in 205 points in 15 games for the second highest average on the club. Others who have topped the 200 mark and their totals are Bill Holzman and George Glamack with 279 and 213 points respectively. Bach has played in 22 games this season. Dolly King, fifth member of the Royal starting quint, has been the outstanding playmaker on the club in most of its games. King formerly played with the New York Renaissance five. Benny Borgmann is expected to start a combination of Jerry Rizzo and Steve Sharkey at forwards with Mike Novak jumping center, and Chick Meehan and George Nelmark at the guards. Sharkey displaced John Chaney at a forward spot when the latter was ill and since then has earned a regular spot in the lineup. The Nats arrived in Syracuse early this morning after a disastrous road trip which saw them drop games in Fort Wayne and Indianapolis, but admitted maybe part of the cause for the losses was the fact that Rochester is the team it has been aspiring to beat. The two teams have played once before this season when the Royals beat Syracuse, 41 to 35, in Rochester. Since that time all personnel on the Syracuse squad with the exception of John Chaney, Jerry Rizzo, Chick Meehan and John Gee is new.

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Nats Lose To Zollners

The Indianapolis five of the National Professional Basketball League today awaited the invasion of the Syracuse Nationals for a game here Tuesday night, after Coach Ben Borgmann’s Nats dropped a 58-49 decision to the Fort Wayne Zollners Sunday on the latter’s floor before 3,800. Fort Wayne and Syracuse battled on even terms until lanky John Pelkington led a fourth period rally of the Fort Wayne flippers with four baskets in a row to settle the issue. After the Indianapolis game, the Syracusans return home to prepare for the champion Rochester Royals Thursday night in Syracuse, marking the titleholder’s first appearance on the Nats’ court.

**Utica Daily Press**- Nats Turn Back Hawks By 12 As Greer And Gambee Star

Syracuse—The Syracuse Nats, paced by Hal Greer's 36 points and Dave Gambee's 30, defeated the St. Louis Hawks, 134-122, in a National Basketball Asoociation game last night. St. Louis led for most of the first quarter before Syracuse took over the lead for the first time, 25-23, with 3:04 left. From then on, Syracuse was never headed. The Nats pulled away in the second quarter, developing a 23 point lead, 67-44, late in the quarter and left the floor at halftime leading 72-54. Early in the fourth stanza the Nats went dry and with 6:36 left, St. Louis pulled to within 10 points 114-104. But led by Gambee, Greer and Lee Shaffer the Nats widened their lead again and stayed safely ahead. For St. Louis, Bob Pettit was high with 36 points. Barney Cable came through with 27.

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Cervi Leads East All-Star Basketeers Again

2 Syracuse Performers Open Fray; Seymour, Schayes Play Tonight

For the first time in the history of the annual court classic, Syracuse will have two players in the starting lineup as the East faces West in the National Basketball Association All-Star game here tonight. Al Cervi, East coach for the second time, has named Paul Seymour and Dolph Schayes in the opening lineup. Each has played in previous games, but it marks the first time both have started. A sellout gathering of 18,000 is predicted for Madison Square Garden. Charley Eckman, former official now mentor at Fort Wayne, is Western mentor. It marks the first time in five-year history of the game that John Kundla has not directed the west. In the four previous contests the West tallied but one victory, winning 79-75 at Fort Wayne two years ago. The first two played at Boston, were won by the East 111-94 and 108-81. Last year the East won 98-93 in overtime after George Mikan knotted the score with two foul tosses after regulation time expired. Joe Lapchick coached the East in all but the second game in which Cervi was play director. This marks the second straight year the game has been played in New York. The East squad is ranked as a three-point favorite. Starting with Seymour and Schayes, Cervi will have Bob Cousy and Ed Mccauley of Boston and Harry Gallatin of New York. Eckman has named three of his Zollners, Larry Foust, Andy Phillip and George Yardley to the opening lineup along with Bob Wanzer of Rochester and Jim Pollard of Minneapolis. Macauley, Schayes, Pollard and Wanzer were starters last year. West reserves consist of Bob Pettit and Frank Selvy, Milwaukee; Vern Mikkelsen and Slater Martin, Minneapolis and Arnie Risen, Rochester. East reserves are: Neil Johnston and Paul Arizin, Philadelphia; Bill Sharman, Boston; Carl Braun and Dick McGuire, New York.

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Nats To Play Lakers Again Tomorrow

Syracuse Suffers Second Home Loss

The Minneapolis Lakers may not be driving toward another National
Basketball Association pennant, but they again demonstrated superiority over
the Syracuse Nationals with a convincing 117-106 triumph here last night. It
marked the second time in War Memorial history that Syracuse dropped two
straight home decisions. Minneapolis has now beaten the Nats in four of five
games this season including two triumphs here. The 117 points was the largest
ever registered against a Syracuse team in regulation play, and is an all-time
high for visiting teams at the Memorial. The Nats were a thoroughly beaten team
as they departed today for Minneapolis to meet the Lakers tomorrow night. A
Sunday game at Milwaukee follows and then another start against the Lakers is
due at Grand Forks, N.D. Tuesday. There were few chances for the year’s
smallest turnout of 1,908 fans to cheer. Even the fact Dolph Schayes tallied 40
points, to come within a single counter of equaling his all-time high, failed
to impress. Dolph was one of the chief defensive offenders as Vern Mikkelsen
and Dick Schnittker counted on easy shots. Inept shooting and poor ball
handling hampered the Syracusans. A meeting of the Nats finance committee has
agreed to the appointment of Robert Sexton, publicity director, to the post of
business manager with an increase in salary. Danny Biasone will continue to
supervise club activities as president and Joe Pitanza, accountant, will become
office manager. Paul Seymour left for Minneapolis ahead of his mates. He is
still suffering from a perforated eardrum which is draining and medics have
ruled out air travel for a few more days. Dolph Schayes will be the Syracuse
player representative and Vern Mikkelsen will represent Minneapolis on the
player negotiations committee when it meets with Maurice Podoloff in New York.
Even players chuckle when they talk of the request to prevent playing both
Saturdays and Sundays for they realize they are “bread and butter days” to the
clubs.

MINNEAPOLIS: Pollard (4-5-13), Mikkelsen (9-6-24), Schnittker (4-7-15),
Holstein (5-2-12), Lovelette (7-2-16), Kalafat (0-1-1), Skoog (6-0-12), Martin
(5-3-13), Sunderlage (2-5-9), Watson (1-0-2) TOTALS (43-31-117). SYRACUSE:
Schayes (13-14-40), Rocha (8-2-18), Simmons (1-0-2), Lloyd (0-5-5), Kerr
(3-1-7), Seymour (3-5-11), King (2-1-5), Kenville (5-4-14), Farley (1-2-4)

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- The injury jinx which handicapped the Syracuse Nats in the bid for the Eastern Division honors has swung into reverse as the club opens a two game series with Boston in New York tonight. The Celts are without the services of Frank Ramsey, Ed Macauley and Bill Sharman. Syracuse is down to eight men with Dolph Schayes limping from a charley horse, but the Nats still appear to have a physical advantage. The Celts have called up Skip Whittaker a six-foot three-inch cager who has been performing with the Lenox Merchants. The move was mandatory to keep the Beantowners within the loop regulations calling for eight men to be in uniform. Lenox beat the Nats twice this season. Sharman is out of action with a pulled leg muscle. Macauley may return tomorrow night as his injury is considered similar to Schayes, but Ramsey is hospitalized with pneumonia. Following tonight’s opening game at Madison Square Garden between the Celts and Nats, the New York Knickerbockers play the Minneapolis Lakers. The same four clubs are rivals in a Beantown twin bill tomorrow night. Syracuse then hosts the Lakers here Thursday. The Syracuse-Boston series is all even at four victories each. Neither club has won away from home and this is their first neutral court meeting. They play again in Syracuse Feb. 17, and have another game in New York Feb. 22 to conclude the rivalry.

**Auburn Citizen**- Jim Tormey Will Bring Team Here

Minus the services of Wilbur Crisp, the famous All-Syracuse basketball
team will journey to Auburn next Saturday evening to try conclusions with the
clever Owasco Canoe Club five. Known as Tormey’s All-Stars, the following
players will be in the lineup: Capt. Jim Tormey, Jim Casey, Billy Rafter and
Johnny Simons. This is the lineup which Captain Jim Tormey claims he will bring
along in articles of agreement drawn up with the O.C.C. management for the
coming battle which will undoubtedly provide a fitting close for the local
season. It is just this lineup that will make local fandom sit up and take
notice and will prove a magnet to draw the season’s biggest crowd. As the close
followers of the great indoor pastime will perceive the men mentioned by Tormey
are regular All-Syracuse players and wore the uniforms of that organization
until the split several days ago. It was this same team that Tormey took to
Rochester last Saturday night and trimmed the Centrals. The Auburn enthusiasts
have been clamoring to see Tormey, Casey and Rafter in action here with the
result that they will be given a big reception and one adverse to the one
handed Crisp in Tuesday night’s battle. Negotiations are pending whereby Art
Powell of Buffalo will again handle the reigns of referee. Powell made a big
hit with the local fans.

**Oswego Palladium**- Syracuse Fans Amused

Over The Fight In All-Syracuse Basketball Squad

The Syracuse basketball fans look upon the discharge of Jim Tormey,
Billy Rafter and Jim Casey, from the All-Syracuse team by Wilbur Crisp, as the
biggest joke of the season, and enjoyed a big laugh when the announcement was
made. The All-Syracuse team has been doing considerable barnstorming, during
the past month, picking up some easy money. In all of its games during the
season the three discharged men have been practically the entire team, and have
been instrumental in the fine record it made. It is said that the big three of
the Syracuse team were givenm their walking papers because Crisp refused to go
to Rochester with the team to play the Centrals, while the team went along
without him and won by a score of 13 to 11. When the announcement was made that
the team was to play in Auburn Tuesday night, Crisp also announced the services
of the big three were no longer required. The rumpus probably means the end of
the combination that has been known as the All-Syracuse team and while the team
may again be organized it will never again have the same lineup, it is
believed. Crisp, it is believed, will have to fade from the game.

**Auburn Citizen**- Canoeists Lose To All-Syracuse

In the roughest and most stubbornly contested basketball game staged at the State Armory this season the All-Syracuse quintet vanquished the Owasco Canoe Club five of Auburn Saturday night by a score of 22 to 12. The game was marred by frequent clashes between the players and at times verged on a free-for-all combat. Auburn’s inability to shoot fouls contributed to the defeat by eight points. Out of the 14 chances only six were made good for the Canoeists. All-Syracuse forged into the lead at the outset of the fray and despite the fact that the invaders appeared at all times willing to mix with the locals Jim Tormey and his mates held the upper hand from whistle to whistle. The visitors caged but three baskets from the field, the remainder of the scoring coming via the free throw route. They made frequent substitutions in vain effort to ward off inevitable defeat and were battling with primitive savagery when the final whistle blew. The entire proceeds of the game, which was held under the auspices of the Junior Auxillary of the House of Providence, were turned over to that institution. The total amount realized was approximately $1,000. Mrs. John T. Funda, Mrs. James C. Tormey and Miss Florence McDonald were in general charge of the affair. The players contributed their services and Captain Edward McCabe, on behalf of Company C, donated the use of the State Armory. The summary:

ALL-SYRACUSE: Martin, lf (1-0-2), Rafter, rf (1-0-2), Tormey, c (1-0-2), Casey, rg (2-0-4), Crisp, lg (0-10-10), Simons, lg (1-0-2) TOTALS (6-10-22).

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Jerry Rizzo Still High In Scoring

Jerry Rizzo continues to lead scorers of the Syracuse Nationals pro basketball team in league games despite the fact that his point total has fallen off in recent games since he has been the target of top defensive play of opponents. In 19 games Rizzo has averaged 11.16 points per contest for a total of 212 points. He has scored 66 baskets and 80 fouls in attaining this total. The only other member of the Nats who has participated in all 19 starts is John Chaney, whose point accumulation is now 137, or an average of 7.21 per game. Big Mike Novak, who devoted himself mainly to setting up plays from the pivot spot in his first games with the club, has been finding the range recently and has moved into fourth place in the average production of the club, with 62 points in eight games. The Nationals, riding high on the throes of a four-game home winning streak, run into tough opposition Thursday night at the Armory, when the Oshkosh All-Stars provide the action. Oshkosh gave Syracuse its most decisive beating of the year in Wisconsin, winning by a 74 to 43 margin. Coach Benny Borgmann of the Nats believes the club is now functioning well enough to turn the table on Oshkosh.

**Niagara Falls Gazette**- From Slants On Sport By Bob Lowe

Syracuse Nationals Hope Duffy Is Another Kenville As Pro

Although mid-summer and its traditional hot weather seem to be a poor time to talk basketball—unless you're in the vicinity of Purple Eagle cage coach Taps Gallagher, for example, who has made the court game an around-the-calendar career for the last 21 years at Monteagle Ridge—the Syracuse Nationals of the National Basketball Assn. have shouldered into the baseball, golf, etc., picture with the announcement that Mal Duffy, St. Bonaventure University scoring ace, has signed with 1955-56. Syracuse, mindful that Billy Kenville, the first player in St. Bona's court history to score over 1,000 points, was a vital cog in the Nationals' successful campaign of last winter, took on Duffy as another future pro star. A special ruling issued by Asa Bushnell of the ECAC prevented Duffy from playing another collegiate season with the Brown Indians next year. Duffy, a well-built six-footer, attended Seton Hall for one year before transferring to the Olean institution. The ruling by Bushnell stated that a student must complete three years of varsity eligibility within five years of his original registration as a collegiate student. Duffy held the single season scoring record at St. Bona with 507 points last season and his 23-point average was the best ever for a Brown Indian. He wound up with more than 1,000 points as his career total. With Kenville and Duffy at Syracuse and Eddie Fleming of Niagara lined up with the Rochester Royals, Western New York collegiate fans will be following the pro court campaign with additional interest in 1955-56.

All-Syracuse Confident Of Defeating Orioles At Broadway Auditorium

All seems to be set for the extraordinary doubleheader basketball treat
of the season booked for the Broadway Auditorium tomorrow night. Word has been
received from All-Syracuse who will meet the Orioles that the Syracusans will
reach here on the Empire State Express and will put up at the Oriole hotel. About
300 Salt City fans will accompany the team. The Orioles are ready for the
whistle and confident. The big hall has been arranged so as to accommodate
several thousand people and in fact everything is ready for the contest. No out
of town team has ever aroused the interest which the Syracuse club has stirred
up in local basketball fandom. The visitors are most rightly respected for
their ability and there are a large number who fear the waterloo of the
Orioles. It should be a wonderfully brilliant game. The class of basketball which
these teams should furnish should surpass anything ever seen in this city. The
Syracuse five are the undisputed Central New York champions and the Orioles are
conceded the best hereabouts. The contest involves the New York championship
and both teams will battle as never before for supremacy. Every arrangement has
been made to handle a bumper crowd. Every detail has been cared for to provide
comfort for the fans. The seating arrangements will accommodate several
thousand and there has been a brisk demand for reservations which can be made
at Spaldings, 611 Main Street. The members of Buffalo Nest 1, Fraternal Order
of Orioles will march to the hall leaving Oriole hall at 7:30 o’clock.
Secretary Vincent A. Plunket has a block of reserved seats for the membership.
The state championship contest starts at 9:15 o’clock.

**Oswego Palladium Times**- From This And That In The World Of Sports By Russ Gill

Fat Freddy Scolari, recently obtained by the Syracuse Nats from the defunct Washington club of the National Basketball Association, made his presence felt last night as the Cervimen walloped the Boston Celtics. Scolari whipped home 21 points, mostly on one-handed steves and should be a great help to the Nats in the stretch drive.

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Nats Face Kautskys In Indianapolis

Winding up a western trip, the Syracuse Nationals battle the Indianapolis Kautskys in an inter-divisional basketball game here tonight in the National Professional League. After the game tonight, Manager Benny Borgmann’s Syracusans will head home to prepare for the first appearance of the champion Rochester Royals Thursday night at the W. Jefferson St Armory in Syracuse, which promises to attract the first sellout crowd of their home season, but tickets are still available for the game. Indianapolis and Syracuse have each won a game of the two played between them this season. Coach Benny Borgmann is anxious for his boys to hit their peak on the road tonight, to attain an edge for the battle with the circuit title-holding Royals Thursday. While the Nats haven’t been consistent winners on the road, they have been unbeatable at home. Rochester players realize they will have to spot the Borgmann basketeers the advantage of playing on their home court. That the Syracusans are respected by the Rochesterians, was reflected in the fact they have been scouted in their last two games by the Royals. Rochester won a six-point decision from the Nats early in the season at Rochester, but Syracuse has been bolstered by the addition of Mike Novak and George Nelmark since then. While the Nats were away George Mingin, club treasurer, was served with a complaint by Lester Rothman, who commenced suit in municipal court for $1,165 against the Syracuse club for alleged violation of contract provisions. Rothman, who was released by the Nats on Dec. 11, states in the complaint that his contract called for payment of $900 per month and that he was to get a $500 bonus for signing. He claims that the club should pay him $570 for the balance of December and $450 for the first half of January plus the $500 bonus. A deduction of $335 is made by Rothman for salary he obtained in basketball employment since being released by the Nats on Dec. 11.

Danny Biasone

Daniel Biasone (22 Feb 1909 – 25 May 1992) was the founding owner of the Syracuse Nationals, an NBA team now known as the Philadelphia 76ers. Biasone, who was a childhood immigrant to the United States from Italy, was mostly known for advocating the use of the shot clock in basketball. Biasone was posthumously inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000 for his contributions to the sport.

Although he did not originate the idea of a shot clock, he strongly supported its adoption in professional basketball. Biasone successfully lobbied the NBA to institute the shot clock in 1954. Along with Leo Ferris, he was responsible for establishing the NBA shot clock at twenty-four seconds, where it has remained to this day. He supported the twenty-four second rule on the basis of his observations, experience, and basic arithmetic. Biasone asserted that basketball proved most exciting when it achieved a balance between stalling contests and wild shootouts. He envisioned a well-paced match up in which each team took around sixty shots per game. Given that professional basketball games lasted forty-eight minutes, Biasone divided 2880 (the number of seconds in forty-eight minutes) by 120 (the total number of shots taken per game when each team attempted sixty shots) and arrived at a figure he considered optimal: one shot every 24 seconds. Additionally, he was also a primary force in convincing the NBA to adopt the backcourt foul rule in 1953.

Biasone was featured in the book, Basketball History in Syracuse, Hoops Roots, by author Mark Allen Baker published by The History Press in 2010. The book is an introduction to professional basketball in Syracuse and includes teams like (Vic Hanson's) All-Americas, the Syracuse Reds (1939-1941) and the Syracuse Nationals (1946–1963).

**Syracuse Herald Journal**- Nats Start Road Tour For A Week

With the roster for a road trip intact for the first time this year, the Syracuse Nationals open a one week exhibition tour here tonight before returning home for a league game on Jan. 9. Coach Benny Borgmann and co-owner George Mingin accompanied a squad of nine men here for tonight’s game. John Gee, who, up to now, has only played in home games of the Nats, joined the quint for this trip. Borgmann feels that Long John’s presence, along with deadly opposition, will give the club its best opportunity of the year to mold itself into a smooth working unit. Following tonight’s game with Baltimore the Nats travel to Borgmann’s home town in Paterson to play the Paterson Crescents Saturday night. Sunday the team is slated to play two games facing Hartford, Conn., in Hartford, in the afternoon and then meeting Fitchburg’s Pamco’s in Fitchburg, Mass., at night. Monday is an open date and on Tuesday Syracuse plays the Atlantic City Senators at Hammond’s Million Dollar Pier Arena in Atlantic City. The team will then return to Syracuse for the league game against the Anderson Packers a week from tonight. Milo Bloom, who rates as one of the best centers in basketball, will start for Baltimore tonight and local fans are anxious to see how he works out against National League teams.

**Auburn Citizen Advertiser**- Syracuse Nats Beat Warriors

Paul Arizin, one of the National Basketball Association's most proficient scorers, keeps right on rolling along, but his Philadelphia Warriors teammates can't seem to pick up the cue this season. Arizin, who led the loop in field goals last season, is popping 'em in in accustomed style again this season. The six-four veteran canned 27 points Sunday night, but the Warriors, who rode to the loop championship last year, took it on the chin again, dropping a 128-122 decision to the streaking Syracuse Nationals. The loss dropped Philadelphia four full games in back of the Eastern Division pace setting Boston Celtics, who defeated the Fort Wayne Pistons, 112-92. The New York Knickerbockers defeated the Minneapolis Lakers, 111-101, and the Rochester Royals downed the St. Louis Hawks, 92-86 in other games.

**Oswego Palladium Times**- From The Sports Scoreboard By Don McGann

We were among another sizable representation of Oswego fans who viewed last night's cage attraction at the Onondaga War Memorial, won by the Syracuse Nationals in record fashion, 122-100, over the Minneapolis Lakers. Almost daily, local fans ask us the reason for the decline of the Nats, as far as their league standing is concerned. Strangely enough, it's rather difficult for us to find the answer. This, due primarily to the fact that we've attended eight games in Syracuse thus far this season and the world champions have captured victory in all eight. Therefore, it is easily understandable, they still look like world titlists to us, although we realize that they have appeared anything but in the majority of the 20 games they have lost against an overall record of only 19 victories. Only slightly more than 3,000 customers paid their way into the War Memorial last night and, had it not been for the return to action of George Mikan, named the greatest basketball player of the last half century in a national poll conducted by the Associated Press, it is safe to argue that the crowd would have been considerably smaller. Thoroughly disgusted with sports in Syracuse, as far as that city's fans are concerned, we don't, for a moment, believe that the Nats will operate out of that city another season. Basketball definitely is due to follow the same pattern as professional hockey and baseball, leaving Syracuse without a pro sports club of any description. We know nothing more than published concerning reports that Coach Al Cervi is destined to return to the Flower City as coach of the Rochester Royals next season. You can bet there will be nothing official learned before the end of the current season and post-season playoffs, because of the ill effects it would create on various parties involved. As a guess, we feel Cervi is pretty-well fed up with some of the Syracuse players, as well as the failure of fans in that city to support the team. However, that won't stop the guiding genius of the Nats from going all out to produce another world's championship club, because the former crack player never puts anything but 100 percent effort into any undertaking in which he is involved, whether it be golf, softball, basketball or even non-sporting activities.

Dolph Schayes led the Nats' attack with 19 points, while Seymour and Bill Gabor got 12 apiece and Al Cervi netted 10. The sixth game of the series will be played in Minneapolis Sunday night.

**Syracuse Herald American**- Syracuse Nationals Tally 58-51 Triumph Over Toledo

Chaney And Meehan Get 28 Points; Capacity Crowd Watches Game

Trailing by eight points at halftime, the Syracuse Nationals rallied in the second half to defeat Toledo, 58-51 and cut the Jeeps’ third place margin to one game before a capacity crowd at West Jefferson Street Armory last night. The victory was the fourth in a row in league play for Syracuse and the fourth defeat for Toledo in the last seven days. The next league engagement for Syracuse is against the Chicago Gears here Thursday night. Bill McCahan’s floor play, after entering the game in the second half, stopped the fast breaking Toledo attack which centered on the passing of Julie Rivlin, player coach. John Chaney, making good on 10 of 11 free throw tries netted 16 points to lead Syracuse scoring. Mike Novak tallied 11 and Chick Meehan swished in six baskets. Hal Tidrick of the visitors clicked for five baskets and five fouls. Despite the fact the club was missing easy shots under the basket the Nats cut into the Toledo lead in the third period by successful conversions of foul shots. After seven minutes of the third period had elapsed McCahan and Chaney dropped in fouls to make the score read Toledo 43, Syracuse 39. Mike Novak added a basket and a foul which Pattanelli’s basket ended the period with Toledo still holding a 45-42 lead. Novak then tossed in a pivot shot and McCahan finally brought Syracuse even with a free throw. A neat play which saw Nelmark pass to Novak and then cut in for a return throw and easy field goal put Syracuse ahead for good. Meehan added a basket on a pass from Novak and Novak dumped a pivot shot to give a 51-45 lead before a foul shot by Gerber broke the Toledo scoring famine.

SYRACUSE: Chaney, f (3-10-16), McCahan, f (1-3-5), Rizzo, f (2-2-6), Sharkey, f (0-0-0), Novak, c (4-3-11), Dugger, c (4-3-11), Nelmark, g (2-0-4), Nugent, g (0-0-0), Meehan, g (6-0-12), Gee, g (2-0-4) TOTALS (20-18-58).

**Syracuse Journal**- From On The Sport Firing Line

Jim Tormey, captain of the All-Syracuse basketball team, believes that
the strongest team that the local five will have to face this season is the
Beechnut aggregation of Canajoharie. Tormey says that All-Syracuse will defeat
the Orioles in the next game no matter where the contest is to be staged.

**Watertown Daily Times**- Syracuse Beats Orioles

Salt City Quintet Scores 25 To 12 Triumph Over Buffalo Team, World’s
Champions

In the most thrilling and spectacular basketball game ever witnessed in
Syracuse the crack All-Syracuse five won a 25 to 12 triumph over the Buffalo
Orioles, world’s champions, last night on the state armory court. A crowd that
numbered 3,532 persons, the largest assemblage that has ever seen a court
contest in Syracuse, packed and jammed the armory enclosure to the doors. Never
once did the champion Buffalo outfit lead the speedy Syracuse aggregation.
Manager Crisp’s men scored first, led 14 to 6 at the end of the first half and
maintained a drop on their opponents at all stages of the contest. Eddie Miller,
who started at left guard and later was shifted to center to oppose Jim Tormey,
starred for the Buffalonians, scoring nine points of their twelve points.
Miller caged each of the visitors’ three field baskets and added three points
from the foul line. McAlary, a substitute, accounted for the other three
points. Crisp was successful in seven of nine foul tries for All-Syracuse.
Miller made his three foul points in seven attempts. Each team has one victory
in the series for the state championship. The third contest will be played at
the court to be agreed upon.
