It WaS d Dedulllul Sdlue lO WdlIu dii through The enjoyment. in, the first period was not for our side of the house, and it looked as though we were once more slated for defeat. True, we had become accustomed to those beatings, but the. out and out fans, who never give up the ship, even when it appears to be sinking, were there with the cheer and the en- coura cement, and their efforts were rewarded in a splendid victory, grand ly won. The management had an- nounced late yesterday afternoon that a new player would be in the lineup last evening, and he was there. His name is Samlow and he hailed from New Britain, where he has proven himself one of the most proficient of amateurs. He was not long in the battle before the experts on the side, lines and on the ends discovered that MT Samlow, would not do. He be-. gan we'll but the pace set was a, fierce one and the boy could not keep, it up. He made some good drives and apparently has all the earmarks of coming polo player, after he has been in the game a little longer. He play ed through the first period and part of the second, when his skate broke, which was the best thing that could have happened for Waterbury. Eddie Murray came on, and the game that boy put up last evening made the fans sit up and howl with joy. He was fast, he was aggressive and he was accurate and all his past misses were forgotten and forgiven. He had the honor too, of winning the game after nearly five minutes of over time.
 The first period was slashing one. with both teams fighting up and down ihe floor, Fahey carrying the fight into the enemy's territory at every opportunity and Bobby Hart was fighting him back viciously. Twelve minutes had elapsed and Cusick had been doing some great stunts at goal, while Sutherland was taking them from all directions on the other end. Suddenly Bob Hart caught one at a good angle and with clear space in front of him, smashed one behiud Gu sick. Faster and faster grew the pace then. and G. Hart, the slim built brother of Bobby, who had taken Wiley's place, received nice one from his brothers hockey and the second one went in for Hartford. while our side of the house breathed hard and mistrustfully.
 The second period was boiling hot. Everybody was working and Suther- land got bombardment for fair Five seconds over the twelve minute mark had elapsed when Fahey, who had been helping out among the rushers, took one down the floor and in scrim- mage at the cage, sent it behind the Hartford guardian. The fans again became awakened and the battle was renewed. The bell changed for the end of the period with no more scoring.
 The third period was a rip shorter. Murray began early to get into the game and Fahey and Daly kept close to him. Tommy HOlderness remain ed back with Cusick and broke up Il few plays that come, our way. Suther- land was getting them hard and fast from all sides. Murray. Daly and Fa- hey were banging them against his shin pads like lightning. Thlrty-five seconds only had passed when Fahey sent the fans into the air by tying the score Then the pace waXed warm indeed. Hartford fought desperately and carried the ball away from the danger point. It was Cusick's turn then to face bOmbardment and right we'll did he meet tue occasion. Luck was with the visitors. however. for Lincoln got good pass and sent it behind our goal tender and again Hartford was in the lead. The whistle | had no more than sounded than Mur- ray was after the ball like q shot. l Around the Hartford cage the ball kept bounding and in three-quarters of a minute Murray sent one that | again tied the score. Again did Hart
 ford dash our hopes to the ground. for | in less than three minutes Bob Hart had driven in another. We were not beaten yet. however. for Daily unIOos- ened himself and in forty seconds
 more he had tied the score and the | fans wildly cheered. Thus did the period end and the overtime was start ed.
 Sutherland may have been given a
 harder hammeTing than he got in that overtime in some other game. hut if he did. it is not in history. The
 hall was played on his shin pads like the rattle of a drum. They came from the sides and in front and he saw f halls fin all directions. Dazzled by the fierce bOmbarlment. he was not to be i blamed when Murray landed the lucky drive in a little over four minutes and
 VIC had broken the ice of defeat. The |. lineup and summary:
 Waterbury. Hartford.
