1946 Syracuse Nationals Basketball Help Please

[Butch7999]

Jeff, glad to be of help. A full-season league schedule might possibly perhaps have been published in a newspaper
based in one of the other NBL cities. We got lucky with the game results in the Toledo paper and didn't go farther back.
You could try looking around the Google Newspaper Archive for earlier editions of the Blade and for papers from Chicago,
Indianapolis, Sheboygan, Detroit, &c'. Papers from Syracuse, Buffalo, and Syracuse, unfortunately, are not archived there.
The Syracuse library system, however, might be able to find more information for you or provide it through an interlibrary loan...

Yes, thanks, I have seen that page many times. The problem is that the historical information on the Nationals begin when they joined the NBA. The previous years are not documented.

This is my program From November 8th the First game of the 1946 season for the Buffalo Bison's who opened up vs Syracuse and it is my understanding that this is the first game for Both the Atlanta Hawks. ( Buffalo lasted 38 days before folding and team went to Become the Tri-Cities Black hawks, Then the St. Louis hawks, Then Atlanta) And The Philadelphia 76'ers (First Syracuse nationals until 63 then The Sixer's). I understand your question to be "what was the first Home game for the nationals" and I hope to have an answer to that question by the end of the week.
Regards
Jonathan

Yes Jonathan, that is the auction I mention in my post. Clearly that was incorrect.

Thanks,

Jeff
