STATISTICS & HISTORY
Hymie Ginsburg was a star all-around athlete at Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania High School. Ginsburg remained in Beaver Fall to attend Geneva College, where he again excelled in sports. Geneva was a small college, but played basketball against many of the best teams in the East. In a memorable week in 1934, Geneva shattered wining streaks of both LIU and CCNY. Led by thirteen points by Ginsburg, Geneva defeated CCNY 50-27, the worst defeat in Hall of Fame coach Nat Holman’s career. Ginsburg played major league professional basketball in Pittsburgh for four seasons.
