Of Record

the bear trap with a terrific third
period effort that brought goals
by Jack Crawford and Eddie Wise
man for q % tie.
That tie brought the Bruins
their eighteenth successive game
without defeat and moved them

leading Toronto Maple Leafs.

and take the lead if they beat
Detroit tomorrow night. Then
they'll play the Rangers in New

SON
The Bruins started their string
with a 5-3 victory over Detroit
here December % and last nights
tie was the second the two clubs
have played since then. The Wings
were not sorry to gain the point
since il kept them one full game
ahead of the fourth place Rang
ers, who picked up point by
trimming the Blackhawks. But
Adams men are today bemoaning
the fact they let an outstanding
victory slip away instead Of just
adding the seventh tie to the
Bruins streak.
KRAUT LINE PENNED UP
With Crosse, Wares and Abel
keeping the Kraut line of Dumart,
Bauer and Schmidt penned up.
Detroit did have an edge in the
first two periods but was strictly
on the defensive all of the final
session and in much of the over
time, although a number of setup
scoring chances were missed.
-Nonpartisan spectators would
have agreed. however, that the
Bruins would have had something
to gnash their teeth over had the
game been decided by the Red
Wings first goal. which was care
lessly presented by Goalie Frank
Brimsek. Big Joe Fisher grabbed
the puck near the right boards
after Jimmy Orlando had pene-
trated the defense and the Medi-
cine Hat lads shot across the goal
mouth was detected into the Bos-
ton net by Brimsek's skate. The
Boston goalie's face was as red
as the goal light behind him.
1t didn't appear likely that any
one would score in the second
period when Referee Mickey Ion
kept things under control with
eight successive penalties but
when the break came il was De-
troit's. This time Alex Motter
carried he punk over center and
when he was checked of by Dit
Clapper, the disc was hooked by
Liscombe who sent a low 40 foot
shot to the left corner.
CRAWFORD GETS FIRST
Those two goals looked big,
even against the powerful Boston
club, but less than two minutes
after the start of the third period
the lead was cut in half when De-
fenseman Jack Crawford tipped
45-foot shot from the right
boards through a melee of play
ers in front of the Detroit cage.
The puck was in the net before
Goalie Johnny Mowers saw il.
Mowers fell two goals behind
Turk Broda of Toronto in the race
for the Vezina Trophy but he
couldn't be blamed for either
Boston score. The second and ty-
ing tally just about evened mat
tiers for Fishers shot, although il
resulted from bit of smart play
by the persistent center. Bill Cow
ley, the leagues leading scorer.
Driven to the ice behind the De-
troit net by Motter, Cowley man
aged to hook a shot around in
front of the cage to force a save
by Mowers. The puck bounced on
to the stick of Eddie WiSeman and
the former Detroit forward drilled
1T home for the % decision.
The tie was the fourth in five
games between the clubs this sea-
son.
