**Syracuse Post Standard**- Beechnut Five Will Be Hard Team To
Beat

All-Syracuse Quintet Faces Acid Test In Duel With Invaders; Stars With
Visitors; Two Unbeaten Aggregations Will Strive For Laurels In Tonight’s Game

One of the strongest basketball teams that ever appeared in Syracuse
will oppose the All-Syracuse quintet at the State Armory tonight when the
famous Beechnut five of Canajoharie meets the local combination. In the lineup
of the invaders will be found five stars of the first magnitude, and it is
expected they will give Captain Jim Tormey and his mates thei sternest test of
the season. With a record of seven straight victories, the All-Syracuse team
isprimed for the fray. Manager Wilbur Crisp stated last night that every member
of the team was in superb condition and confident of winning the game. “I
realize that the Beechnut team is the strongest we have met, but I have faith
that we will not be on the short end of the score when the final whistle
blows,” declared Crisp last night. “In Nolls, Murnane, Dowd, Alberding and
Schuler the visitors have an exceedingly hard team to beat.” The Beechnut team
has not lost a game this season. One of their greatest achievements was the
defeat handed the fast Centrals of Rochester on the latter’s court. Two weeks
ago the Canajoharie quintet overcame the Centrals by a score of 28 to 7. The
Centrals have the reputation of being one of the best teams in New York State.
Tonight’s game will start promptly at 8:45 o’clock. A preliminary game between
the Holy Rosary and Belcur quintets will start at 7:30 o’clock. Dr. Paul
Steinberg will handle the main game game and the teams will take the floor as
follows:

ALL-SYRACUSE: Tormey, rf, Rafter, lf, Schwarzer, c, Crisp, lg, Casey,
rg. BEECHNUT FIVE: Schuler, rf, Dowd, lf, Nolls, c, Murnane, lg, Alberding, rg.

Next Saturday night the All-Syracuse five will meet the Oneida
Community team, which is coached by Jack Fox, the former State League star. The
game will be played at the State Armory.
