1949-50 York Victory AA (EPBL)

1949-50 YORK VICTORY A.A.
EASTERN BASKETBALL LEAGUE - PENNSYLVANIA
Southern Division
9-17, .346, 3rd place

York started 0-4, after which they fired coach Les Lehman and replaced him with Sam Dellinger. Dellinger got help from some new players in Bill Brown, Ken Haggerty, Danny Kraus and Ben Cantwell and immediately won 4 of their next five. However, that was a close to success as York would have. The slumped the rest of the season and finished a distant third and well out of the playoffs.
