Description | This intra-club game was between the "Black" and the "White" squads of the team. Interestingly, before "White" had been written down, the gamebook listed the opponent as "New York," but it was scratched out. This evidence indicates that the famous "first game" between the Knicks and New York Ball Club (formerly the Gothams) was scheduled to take place two days before it ultimately happened. |
