I saw them in Vestal, NY, around 1967. World they have been the originals?

I actually did! They did a local appearance at my middle school in Oceanside, NY, in the 1960s. They played against a team made up of the teachers in the school gymnasium! I was a child, but maybe they played against their usual nemesis, the Washington Generals, who allowed the school's gym teachers/coaches to play for the Generals to generate school spirit.
The Globetrotters won, of course!
