 Q game lacked roughness until theI u period, when Jean, aggravated by
 tnders' underhanded tricks of block
 Shiffer, resented the local half gck's unnecessary actions by stabbingI as fist in Saunders face. A riot which started after this was quelled quickly Ind the playing resumed.
 y Saunders started during the opening session to try new tricks of blocking Shiffer. He dismissed his necessary duty of playing the halfbacks part and began to follow shiffer about from one side of the cage to the other. He con- tirtued his peculiar actions all dur tng the game. Hts work, although it brought from the amused fans con tirAuous ripple of laughter, caused Null ieR to be left unguarded from the I&rives of Jean and Warner. Mullen ~as thus forced to play both goal and ( halfback and his continuous beautiful stops alone saved New Haven from be- ing scored cn time and again. Farrell, Bone and Mccarthy played together splerldidly and 1t was thought their eff forts and Mullen's that New Haven turned out a victor.
 Mullen missed but one chance out of I42 drives by Warner. Toner and Jean while Mitchell missed six out of 45, New Britain would not have scored had Saunders paid more attention to the game than to Shiffer.

Bone broke the ice about th' middle of the period and scored. It wa made after double pass, Bone pass ing to Mccarthy and Mccarthy return ing the pass to Bone. After the goa was caged the two fives surged up am down the rink without either tean having any particular advantage.
 Bone started New Haven down th' line to victory in the second period sliding an easy one past Mitchell, fort! seconds after Tommie Leahy blew hi whistle. FIfty-five seconds after thu referee blew his whistle again, Farrel drove one of semi-daily goals. Tn floor in line from his position to tn cage was cleared for the occasion an dWild Bill" sent the missile twirlin through the other end into the Nev Britain netting. He performed a sim liar feat shortly after, making the lo cals score three. McCarthy closed tn session with "a. pretty goal after shol pass from Bone.
 It was twelve minutes before the frs goal in the final period was caged Ol had relieved Bone after seven minute of play and was working in fine shaI with Mccarthy. He received a har drive from Farrell and then made
