O'Leary, Mirror Sports Editor New Hamburg overcame the 3-goal lead Oshawa had last Monday night at the Arena. By a score of 5 to l berfore 2,500 people. The second larg- est crowd of the year turned out to witness this contest and every fan wh ohad the pleasure of witnessing tthis game saw sixty minutes of hard, close checking, which would not allow of much combination as both teams were backchecking and holding their man at all stages. But whenever a player did break away it gave the fans the necessary thrill to hold them and 'keep them keyed up to a high pitch. The last ten minutes of the game proy- ed too much for the Oshawa lads. Both teams were giving their best. But Bob Puddicombe's clever sextet were right on the job to do. or die and they accomplished their win in fine style amidst thunderous applause, gaining a victory in the dying mom- ents of the game, sending the major- ity of the fans home happy. Oshawa proved to be very losers, displaying poor sportsmanship. They claimed Oliver, New Hamburg's goalkeeper's pads were to wide after bringing Oliver off the ice referee Mit- chell measured the pads to his satis- faction and all onlookers. They meas- ured three-quarters of an inch below the regulartion.. poor Oshawa protests the game with New Hamburg. They claim Oliver was there on date of signing. He evi- dently must have raised the ire of some of them as they have made Oliv- er the butt of two attacks now. Neither one will get them anywhere. Very poor sportsmanship to try and win games before the Most hockey games are played on ice--so it is likely Oshawa will have to be content with their lot as protest has been thrown out.
