 Now Haven once more suffered defeat lest night. Springfield did the business to the tune of 5 to 4. At the end of the forty min- utes' playing time the score was Q tic. New combe caging the tieing goal for New Haven seven seconds before playing time was up. Thence it was e cool, careful game, we'll played. McPeck ooaxsd both Cooke and Phelan towards him ct the side and then cleverly passed the ball to Roberts. who was standing alone in frontof Reed. That wor- thy individual "plugged" the ball in for keeps.s It took s:25 oyer time to cage i., but 1t might have been done in twenty-five seo- onds just e we'll and have ended the sus- pense.
 Springfield did not have snap with the hsme team, for Lations had ten stops bsfors Reed had any. New Haven played in much hard luck. Two balls came out of the oppo- site cage and Newcombs and Phelan were both off the floor with broken skates; For the homo team Cooke and Phelan did the best work, Cooke's blocking being the fea- ture. Hill and Newcombe seem to be falling off in their driving for the cage. Hill was cratic last night and played about as poorly as he has in some time. He ia cool and cal culating, but he lacks the vim and energy | that is displayed by other rushers in the that the management would do we'll to try him as a rusher with Newcombe. Then let them put Hill back as center and sec how the team would work in that position.
 "Billy" played good center while he was | at it.
 -y1 :.t~J J>~ A night except when the teams were playing overtime, and then he did great work. Mur-
 ray drove two easy from center and Reed was
 50 sure of them that he kicked over each and
 the balls rolled easily into the cage. .Stub"
 very seldom has an off night, but last night 1 was an exception.
 | For the visitors Canavan did the best work. l He is half the Springfield team and were 1t not for his great blocking and the way he
 rushed up the rink and ,csssed the ball the
 home team would have left Springfield out of sight. Lations made some great stops and
 held his end up in every way. The rest of
 the team worked hard and ably assisted the
 defense whenever it was needed. The eranks l could not find fault with the game as 8. polo game, for 1t was full of excitement. The drawback was that it did not end satisfactor- l fly and the the visitors won a victory that | they hardly deserved. Several fouls were
 called, one on Springfield which cost that 1 team goal Ia foul In goaD, but O'Maley could have called twice the number had he
 chosen to. However, he was impartial and
 did what he considered right. It cost Lations
 g for trying to show O'Maley that his deci~ sion was wrong.
 The first was made by Cansvan, who rush
 ed the ball up the rink and drove it in.
 Second by Cookss rushing the ball up,
 banking it to Archie. who caged it. Third l by McPeck's passing it out to Roberts, who 1 caged 1t. Fourth by Csnavan's rushing the

 Fifth by Murray by drive from center.

 passing it out to Hill ,who eaged it. Seventh
 by Cooke's bringing it ont from the back of
 cage and driving it in. Eighth by Murray by another slow drive from center. Ninth by Hill rushing the ball down and passing it
 to Archie, who drove 1t in. Tenth and de-
 ciding goal by Roberts on pass by McPeck
