To date, Wisconsin is the only Big Ten team to hold an edge over Illinois in number of victories. Kane skidded Into the boards at the north end' and had to be helped from the ice with a lame right hip. The contest moved at a livelier pace all through the second session and the comparatively small crowd warmed up to help make the evening less of a wake. With Sherritt out of the battle the Caps had to operate with three defense men and Buffalo, sensing this, concentrated on offense, taking 31 shots to 16 for the Caps. Lumley saved 10, Ceryance 11.

The boys spent the first twenty minutes warming The Caps did have one splurge of firing at Ceryance near the end of the period and this almost ended disastrously when the puck went sailing down the ice and Lumley had to come out beyond the red line to shoo it away as a pair of Bisons came flying down the ice. Each team took 19 shots and Lumley made 8 saves to 7 for Ceryance. Ritson and Thomson were fairly active on forechecking biit the entire period was pretty tanje hockey. The Buffalo veterans did not seem to have any edge on' tjie Caps at all. Roger Leger and Gordon Davidson; new additions to the Bison roster, were as mild as the rest and the only prospect of war loomed up when Moose Sherritt and Dede Klein wayed their sticks at each other and spoke sharply.

Moose Sherritt missed a good opportunity early in the second' session and while he was thinkbg over instead of hurrying back, Lumley again was forced to come out of his cage and Morey Rimstad scored at 6:10. Leger and Eldy Ko-bussen were the assisting players, although Herbie Lewis's little son Jerry could have scored without assistance from any one when Lumley deserted his post.
