The Calumet hockey team last even
ing broke the tie for second place in
the western division Of the American
Amateur hockey association by defeat
ing the Portage Lake team before a
crowd of 1000 fans in the Colosseum
by the score of To ?. The victory
places Calumet within half Il game Of
the American 500 team, which is oc-
cupying first place in the league race,
and makes ii possible for Calumet to
regain the top pinnacle. should the
Michigan 500 lose tonight to the ca
madam 500.
1t required overtime to decide the
contest which bristlcd with all the
time nopored rivalry which has char
actcrized previous decisive games be-
tween these organizations. II cannot
be said the game was the best exhibit
ton Of hockey seen here this winter.
The ice was slow and towards the end
slushy, making it impossible to devel-
op the splendid combination play for
which both teams are famed. In the
overtime period especially. the con-
test reverted almost to shiny. still
il held the immense crowd, the larg-
est of the season in the grip of in
tense excitement throughout. When
the ice conditions and the odds AT
stake are considered. IL was remark
ably free from roughness, although
| there were number of rule infrac-
| tons which the referee did not de-
! teCt.
The Calumet team went on the Ice
with a new lineup and with an
air of determination. ROmpf's addi-
ton to the defense battalion in the
point position added tower of
strength. r. Treglown going 10 cover
Joe Treelown to rover and Stroud Ia
center. In the first half, when the ice
was at its best Calumet worked up
some splendid combinations, bringing
! The play to Portage Lake territory
most Of the time. Houehton put up 4
stubborn defense. however and one
goal bv Ransomc Trcglown on a long
shot, represented the net result OF
| CalumetS attack.

alton, came back strong and for ABOUT

who tied the score. The latter shot
was from an offside play which had
not bean detected by Referee Shields
Then came fifteen minutes of desrer-
| ate hockey, each team striving unsuc-
cessfully to get the decisive goal.
IN the overtime period of ten min
utas. during which the teams changed
goals at five minutes, Calumet adopted
a new style of play, and one which
/ seemed especially ADAPTED to the con-
dition Of the ice. The defense men
| by long shots and lifts kept the puck
ot the Houghton end of the rink con-
| tinually and the Calumet forwards ar
ranged before the Houghton net rain
