7-13 .350
The Carbondale Aces got off to a decent 5-3 start but were having trouble drawings fans. They struggled through the second half of December and January, and Red Wallace was relieved of his head coaching duties on January 13, 1952. Bernie Sarachek, who had been coaching the Scranton Miners until he quit in a salary dispute a few days prior, lead the Aces in a 76-71 loss to Manchester. On January 24, the Aces announced the team was ceasing operations. The league awarded the franchise to the Middletown Guards, with the Guards taking on the 6-8 record Carbondale had pieced together. Joe Wise was the coach of Middletown, and Frank Lewis, who had started the season with Bridgeport before being sent to Carbondale, was the only player who went from the Aces to the Guards. Middletown went 1-5 before the club withdrew from the league.
