Farmer• ..\icFactdin drew the first penalty of the game, about the three- minute mark, for carrying a high ,tide Alf Cotey of the Siskins. -fol- lowed hint almost immediately, and the Beavers put their Winghaat pair, Proctor and Nichols, into play for the tirst time. Frank Sills had the first real chance to test Dahmer. He blasted a shot from close range, on a pass .from .Nichols, !but Dahmer blocked the shot. ,Nichols had anoth- er try, from close range, but 1)ah- 'tner ,turned it aside nith his elbow. Pete Gran of the Siskins, made 't smart move, after his team got hack to 1 -id! strength: He poked the puck away from the Seaforth defence, and went in to score. Tire goal was called 'back, because one of Pete's wing mates had been over the blue line ahead of him. The Bearers had their !best oppor- tunity of the period. when IKten Du- ohannte slipped a pass through the (Waterloo rearguard to Farmer IMe- Fadditt. The Farmer had only Dah- mer to beat—but that ,was one toe) many. Farmer stick -handled in on the cage, but Dahmer refused to budge. He got his foot in front of the puck. Three To Hoosegow '\Mien ferry 'Olinsici of the Siskitts and Bab Draper of the Beavers, started a minor tilt in front of the '\\'aterloo cage, big Stan Clair made the mistake of trying to get into it; The result was that he nvas waved to the jog, along with the two original belligerents. While the Beavers had the extra mean, they rifled rubber at Dahmer 1eotu every angle. In the last minute of the period Archie iiulbert and Farmer 'Mc Fade din of the Bearers, caught the Sis- kins -t'ith only Bev Pugh back of the blue linea The !Waterloo players inter- cepted Hu'hert's 'pass and •broke up what looked like a sore -fire scoring play. Seaforth', Bret goal, at 1.5.4 of the second period, was bitterly disputed by the Siekin,, who demanded the re- moval of the goal umpire 'behind their cage. The Siekin, had the advantage in mann neer termed the end of the Per Sal when Farmer lleladelin wase serving a penalty. While hie team I wet h?rt-handed Stade at the Sea - forth net. had hie ,busiest eeeioo of the evening, He took Pete (;ran'. high 'rot, after dirau had broken through the Seaforth defence. Motif teams went all out in a gamble for the -tinning goal in the last regular ,period. For most of the twenty minutes the rival circle, used live -man attacks. The Leavers had a couple of ;gold- en app irtunitiee to put the game in the bag. but Met missed out. 00 one three -ratan break, the Beavers caught the Siskins with only Stan Clair back of the I\Waterloo'blue line. But Clair ,cot 'his stick in the -ray and deflected Proctor's pass to Tim- mer tMcFwao, On another Seaforth sortie, the puck stopped -within an inch of the 'Waterloo goal line, after Dahmer had partially blocked a close - in drive by Timmer McEwan. 'With only a minute to go, 'big Pete Konrad of the Siskins, wentberserk when Referee 'Mooney gave hint a Minor penalty for tripping Sills. Af- ter refusing' to leave the ice, lie push- ed and Jostled the official, d•Iis mates persuaded him to go to the penalty box. Once he leaned over the rail and punched Mooney in the -face. IMooney went in search of a ,policeman and finding none in she rink, returned to order Konrad sent to the dressing room. Again the player leaned over the boards and poked his •fist into the whistle -!blower's face. His own teammates 'finally got him to retire to the dressing roan In the last ten seconds of play, 'Len Nichols. to winger from Wing - ham. missed out on a .chance to win the game. With most of the net open in front of him, he took a swing at a sliding puck and whacked it past the post. The Beavers gave Dahmer a lot of trouble in she first extra period, es- pecially when they had the odd man, while Clair and Huber of the Siskins, and 'I•armer aicFaddin of the Beav- ers. were in -the penalty box together. Pundit IMetEwan came within an eyelash of bagging the twinning goal in the first minute •ol the second over- time session. 'On a pass from Pinkett, Punch ,flipped the puck toward the open corner. Somehow, Dahmer got this shoulder or his head in front of the rubber and turned it aside. It seemed like a hopeless task trying to beat him, until Farmer IMcFaddin's long shot rattled against the back of the cage and bounced out again.
