1950-51 ALLENBETH / CARBONDALE ACES
Coach Crum in 1927

The AllenBeth team, named for their dual-hometowns of Allentown and Bethlehem, moved to Carbondale on December 28, 1950. The team was 1-13 at that point. Owner Jim Nolan took over the head coaching duties when Crum resigned on November 30, 1950. It was rumored that Chink Crossin was going to come to the Aces when he quit the Wilkes-Barre team in early December, but that never occurred as he returned to the Barons later that month.
