Bruins that we would come back
from Boston after the sixth game
all even and still shooting for the
Stanley Cup finals. / would have
been satisfied"
That was Manager Jack Adams,
chief consolation today as his De-
troit hockey club headed for home
and the seventh and deciding
game with Boston at Olympia to-
morrow night.
Detroit was tripped in its come
back drive here last night when
the Bruins rallied after three
straight defeats and squared the
first round playoff series with a
5-3 victory before capacity
crowd of 1880. Each team has
now won three games.
WINGS LEAD TWICE
II looked as though Jack
Adams men could start planning
their strategy for the finals
against the Toronto Maple Leafs
when they moved out in front on
Jud McAtee's goal. 10, in the first
/ period. and again 2-1 in the sec
ond on shot by Joe Carveth.
! But Boston's dynamite line, led
by Bill Cowley, shook off the
Murray Armstrong line that had
held IT in check for three games.
With Cowley smashing in two
goals while Herbie Cain and Bill
Jennings each popped one. the
dynamite line exploded Detroits
hopes.
McAtec,- red headed left wing
on the Armstrong line. gave De-
troit- two=goals. his first=of the
series, and Carveth got his, but
that wasn't enough TO match the
Cowley lines effort, not TO men,
tion the goal tossed in by Paul
Gladu, Boston rookie. in the Sec
ond period drive which gave Bos-
ton three goals and the game.
BREAK AGAINST WINGS
This was a game of hard play
but lost opportunities by Detroit
and the break OF the game came
in the second period, when with
Detroit in front, 2-1. on goals by
McAtee and Carveth, the Wings
came driving in on goale Paul
Bibeault again. A shot by Capt
Flash Hollett hit Bibeault and
bounced over toward the right
corner of the net with Bibeault on
the ice at the other corner.
The puck bounced enticingly
three inches from the goal line.
needing only tap TO send Detroit
into commanding lead. Young
Ted Lindsay Of the Wings raced
in on II, took swing and missed
IL, then skidded on past the net.

IT'S JENNINGS REVENGE
II was Jennings who tied the
score up at 2-2 a minute later
when a pass from Jack Crawford
set him up at the right corner of
the Detroit cage. The former Red
Wing also came rough TO
revenge himself further on his
former teammates when defense
I man Harold Jackson of Detroit
went off for charging Cowley.
He set up Cain for splendid
backhand shot which beat Lum-
ley from Is feet out and put
Boston in the lead 3-2.
Breaks just didn't come the
Wings way in the first half of
this period. With F'ido Purpur
and his Wing line pressing around
the Bruin cage. a long pass out to
Jackson at the blue line escaped
the Detroit defense m and
Armand Gaudreault grabbed IL
and started a three-man break
Although Earl Sci bert and
Jackson got back in time to keep
the Bruins from sweeping in on
the net. Gaudreault managed to
get away pass from center TO
Paul Gladu on right wing as he
neared the net. Gladu gave il a
push toward the net from IL feet
