"The City Game" tells the thrilling and heartbreaking story of the CCNY Beavers, who in 1950 became the only team to win the NIT and NCAA basketball tournaments in the same year. Every single player as well as the coach was either Jewish or African American. In 1951, the team's five starting players were arrested for conspiring with gamblers to "shave points." Author Matthew Goodman will discuss "The City Game" on Thursday, December 12, 2019, at 7:00 pm at Temple Israel of Lawrence, 140 Central Avenue, Lawrence, N.Y.

This event is open to the public and Free of charge. Copies of "The City Game" will be available for purchase.
