players around the cir cumference of the ice it re medied the situation but had to be repeated several times resulting in a threeandahalf hour game the opening two periods were carried out in a haphaz ard manner as both teams came back at each other to fi nally tie it up 44 then the fun began early in the third period as a third team seemed to enter on the scene a third team in a play off- hockey or any hockey game for that matter seems impossible but this is what more or less happened not that raiders had enough trouble with the oriole on slaught the fact that the whole of the third period was played with only three raider players and the dense fog and soft ice slowed the action to a near standstill but this third group of opposition came from within the raider team it vasone player in particular urged on by others from the crowd whospoiled the game and the series and the incident may have a lasting effect on the league the outcome of the game was indeed tragic for the raid- en who had worked through the season to the top position v only to be let down in the fi nals such as they were congratulations were indeed well deserved by the oriole team who played a terrific game of
