Second Overtime Goal By Babando Gives Them 4-3 Win Over Rangers first seven minutes of the game and held a 3-1 margin until the flvt-minute mark of the second period. Then the Detroiters, champions of the National Hockey League this season. came to life and tied it up before the second period end- ed New York moved out in front again 4-3 in the see-saw battle but Detroit came back to tie it up and finally bounced in their fifth and winning goal at the midway point of the period to thrill the crowd oi 12,045.1 It was a tough loss for the New Yorkers who iud a distinct edge in play during the first two periods only to run out of gas in the final period as the terrific Detroit checking took its toll. In contrast to the dull play that series, the sixth was a sizzier most of the way. A New York victory would have given the Rangers the cup but the Detroitrrs fought back with the same despcration that won them their scmi-final round with Toronvto after they were on the brink of de- feat. Allan Stanley got New York's scoring under way at 3.45 of the first period as he beat Detroit goalie Harry Lumiey with a 12- footer.

Dterolt broke loose for two goals to knot the score. Sid Abel sinking a 20-footer at 5-38 and Jerry Couture a five-footer at 18:07.

Lindsay then put Detroit back on oven terms with his second goal of the night. breaking loose and sailing tlirough three New York defenders to sink an eight- foot angle shot at 4:13. Detroit moved out in front for the first time as Sid Abel pushed in his own rebound at. 10:34 to give the Wings their 5-4 lead. The Wings then switched to rugged defensive hockey and turned back everything New York had to offer the rest of the way. Lumlcy turned in his most bril- liant showing of the season al- though he had only 18 saves in 32 for Rayner. svmamr First Period - 1-New York. Stanley (Miclfoski.
