 Providence at Pittsfield.
 Tn one of the most eNciltuS and hair-raising roller hockey spectaclcs staged at the Stanley Arena Tn re- cent games, the New Britain Panth- CTS met the league-leading Hart ford Indians last night and con- uuered them by the close score of , to ?. It took an overtime period Of four minutes and 12 seconds 10 de- eide the game and it was Whizzln@ short from Arthur (kid) Williams stick that settled the issue much to the satisfaction of the home crowd of rooters.
 With Big Chief" Fred Jean. playing the stellar role with the Hartford team, fans here saw why it is that Hartford has been leading the league. The Hartford crew. for tified with two speedy rushcrs in Dyson and Hart, with Jean at cen- ter and "Rube" Williams a DulWark at halfback and Bill Blount in the goal appears as one of the best com binations assembled in years.
 However, although in most games, it is the floor workers who carry off the honors. last night it was the goal tenders who stood out as the lndl- vidual stars of the game. BlOunt for Hartford was in excellent shape while Lovegreen for the home team, was never better than he was last night. Both appeared to he the class of the league among the goal tenders.
 Both teams battled on even terms with Hartford playing more in New Britain's territory as the first period opened. Williams and Jean both CoN- cred (kid) Williams and Earl Pierce completely in the first frame and kept either from getting any thing better than hurried shot. At the eight minute mark, however, Barney Doherty. stellar New Brit ain halfback. got a clear road ur the floor and crossing up the oppo- stion, he skated the length of the rink and Tipped shot at Blount that caught the Hartford goalle by surprise. The ball hit the top of his pads, bounced into the cage. It start ed to come out but BIount kicked it back in again. This was the only goal of the period.
 George Hart got the tying score in the second period when he hook ed neat shot past Lovegreen. The third period opened with the score d deadlock until Williams and Pierce, with pretty passwork, pulled Blount out and Williams scoopcd in a shot to put New Britain in the lead. Twenty six seconds after the third session opened, Hart tied the score but there was no scoring fot the remainder of the game.
 In the overtime session. four min utcs had passed with neither team being able to score. Both sets of for wards had several shots but the work of the goal tenders kept thell cages free of goals. Then, Williams with one of the shots that has made him. famous, cracked one off tn, bdIlkS anu 1blOulll Il'N'l 'tt VI II s1N in This settled the game.
 The New Britain team playcG wonderful polo last night and atiel the present lineup gets working to. gethCr. it is safe to say that the To- cal club will be among the leaders Pierce and Williams make q strong combination on the rush line while Griffiths will fill in well at center There is no question about the sol idity of the defense with Dohertl and LovcGreen being among the top notChcrs.
