Syracuse Reds


One of Syracuse University's most talented senior classes becomes the core of the city's next pro team.

The Syracuse Seniors take to the road, playing 32 games in 30 days.


Caption: Pictured above left to right is Wilmeth Sidat-Singh, Bob Stewart, forwards; Billy Thompson and Johnny Schroeder, guards; Mark Haller, center. These boys will be the starting lineup for the Syracuse Collegians against Company M, represented by the Antlers of Gloversville, Friday night at 8:30 on the State Armory court in Gloversville. All the Syracuse players are six feet tall or oer except Sidat-Singh who is five feet, 11. Marty Glickman, Olympic runner, Vic Blaylock, and Don McNaughton will also be ready to replace any of the starting five. A preliminary between the New York A.C.'s and Marshall Juniors will go on at 7:30. The main attraction will be refereed by Bert Newnham. (Photo courtesy of Mark Haller).
