Of all the funny things that hap pened in roller polo, most of them happened in this game. Every chance me referee got, he called a foul on Donnelly and upon the prompting of the Amsterdam players. he called a lew extra fouls for good measure,

The suggestion relative 10 the double official system was made by g. member of the industrial council and Bryce Long, industrial council secretary, was instructed to find an official. When Corbin Screw, last years champion, lost the game. it was said that they denounced Mir. Long for his plan. It was not his plan.
New Britain herald., 1930-02-24

Despite claims on the part of los CTS in the Industrial Basketball League last Friday that the double officiating system caused defeat, this attitude was unjust and is a case of sour grapes. The work of the off cials, Ahern and Grinell was as good as it could be and only those who were biased could claim the system was not a satisfactory one.

New Britain herald., 1930-02-24

Probably members of the Corbin Screw team who have found it con- yenient to "get away" with pushing and showing in the backcourt found it inconvenient when there were two officials to watch them. Crying about officials after a loss is an old story that does not become better with age.

Steve Pierce and other members or the Amsterdam team were trying their best 10 have the New Britain players fight them because the ref ere was all set to eject any of the players from the game. Steve even went so far as to take a poke at one of the members Of the local team but he didn't get any rise out of the New Britain man.
