The Senators had trouble filling the huge Zembo Mosque during the 1950–51 season, and visiting teams complained that the basketball floor at the mosque was often waxed for dance halls, and that the Senators applied
rosin on their shoes to countermand the slippery surface. The franchise folded midway through the 1950–51 season and was replaced by another franchise, the Harrisburg Caps, who finished out the Senators' season. After sitting out the 1951–52 season, the Caps returned to the EPBL and played their home games at the Madrid Palestra. The 1952–53 Caps' lineup was strengthened by the addition of four players from the
Fort Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania Army base, who played for both the military team and for the Caps. But with the season winding down and the Caps mistakenly believing they had been eliminated from the playoffs, the Fort Indiantown Gap players quit the team and the Caps were forced to use semipro hoopsters to finish out the final two contests. ==Year-by-year==
