The game report is on page 34 of the 22 November edition:

That indicates it was the fifth game of the Nats' season. It's tough to find a league schedule in advance of the season, because
(if we understand pre-NBA history correctly, and it's very likely we don't) each NBL team was left to draw up their own schedule
and probably did a lot of adjusting as the season went along, depending on availability of venues and volume of advance ticket sales.
Thanks Butch...great research. I still would love to see the schedule because the first few games could have been on the road (I doubt it, but you never know).
