It was a case of the players on both teams finishing the game on pure grit alone because everyone of them including the two goal tenders, were on the verge of exhaustion after the lengthy and grueling battle staged during the conteat. New Britain got away to a three- | point lead in the first two perfods but exceptionally good work by Davies and Harkins of the Water- bury team in the third session, gave the Brass City enough to tie and send the game into the extra period. It was only atter seven minutes and 56 seconds had been played in this canto that Boucher waa able te send the ball whizzing into the net behind Jette’ shin pads for the count that gave the home club the game. Even as these two quintets hattled on New Year's night, so last night, both teams started off at a terriffic pace. The speed of the forwards on both sides was amazing all through the first period. The second and third frames were the same with Waterbury taking the edge in the last session, The visitors were d perately trying for the extra goal.

Blount and Jette staged a pretty race for stops at the goal with the local goalie geting 73 to 71 for Jette. The work of hoth men was ex- ceptional. Alexander and Boucher played nicely together, both giving the opposing defense plenty of work, “Red” Donnelly and Barney Doherty both starred on the defense for Waterbury.
