WATERBURY ICE
 HOCKEY CLUB IN
 LOSS AT MERIDEN

Meriden, Dec. 27-Norm Under woods goal in the last 2 minutes of play gave the Meriden Hockey club an overtime triumph over Waterbury, to 1, at the Silver City Stadium ring recently. Though both teams are members of the states amateur league, this contest was not circuit clash.
 The battle was fought at sizzl- ing pace throughout, with Meriden jumping into the lead in the first period on goal by Ray Coe, only to have the Bras City skaters tie it up in the second stanza on a flip by T. Chapman that came out of a mixup in front of the Meriden cage and slipped past Goalie Bob Schmidt.
 Neither team could score in the third period and the overtime ses- sion seemed destined to be score less, too, until Underwood got loose near the end of the period skated up to the very mouth of the cage and slipped the puck past Warner for the winning tally.
 Several spectacular stops by Schmidt featured the Meriden de- fense while Underwood and Car penter were the offensive main- stays for Coach Ernie Goes club.

Ahead she saw a curious cage OF
wood upheld upon the shoulders Of
half hundred men clad only In loin
cloths. Above the murmur of the
crowd she heard the snarls of the
iaguars imprisoned within the huge
cage.
The beasts. evidently, were to be
part of the ceremony.
Desperately she shaded her eyes
against the new sun whose rays
were beginning to pierce the sky
over the eastern jungle. Where was
Billy Langton? Could it be that he
had been done away with-that he
had not been held to participate in
this CHASTITY rite?
She saw him, finally, heading the
approaching procession. 1t was lit
tie wonder that she had not been
able to pick him out Of the column.
1t was his limp that betrayed him
to her.
He was stripped to loin cloth and
sandals. Some garment-a skin of
some sort-was hung from his
shoulders. His head-dress of fea-
theirs was like her own but fuller
and more elaborate.
THE two columns Joined one an
i other on either side of the cage
Of jaguars. She saw the deep lines
on Langton's face his blond beard
could not hide those engravings of
suffering. His eyes were Swallowed
with pain and despair.
