It was the host club's first setback in six home starts.
Escape Shutout Despite being out-shot by a 24-20 margin, the Rangers got rolling in speedy fashion and held the upper hand until late in the finale, when the Bruins took advantage of a penalty to escape a shutout. Alex Kaleta countered during the first five minutes of play, deflecting in Neil Colrille's 40-foot sizzler for the Rangers initial goal. Leswick hooked loose puck in the second period and beat goalie Frankie Brimsek from 10-feet out to clinch the game. Don Raliegh more than settled matters early in the finale with another undssisted goal, about three minutes before Leswick scored again after rushing with Edgar Laprade and the heads-up Colville, whose defensive play was outstanding throughout. The Bruins were held scoreless for more than 51 minutes and, after Dunc Fisher drew a minor penalty, Milt Schmidt ruined Chuck Rayner's shutout hopes by banging in Jimmy Peter's assist.

Brignoli's Punts Help Throughout the first quarter the defenses of both elevens were impenetrtable and the punting of Hank Brignoli kept the play in the Aces' territory.
With the close of the period rapidly approaching the Berkshire champions attempted a bit of razzledazzle and their end-around play backfired around the 32. On the fourth down Ed Shibley crashed through to block the kick and ball went out of bounds on the Aces' 12 the stanza ended. Resuming play Hank Drewnowski, slashed off tackle to the one- foot line but here the Aces stiffened drove Agawam back to the 8-yard line (O take over on downs.

Hank Drewnowski bucked forward to two. At this point Joe Pisano entered the fray for the first time and mediately skirted the end to score standing up.

Lone Threat Of Aces The Aces' lone major threat came in the third quarter as they launched sustained drive that appeared destined for a score. Gaining possession on a punt at their own 46 Coach Louie Russo's gridsters put their offensive into high gear. With Eddie Paris doing the most of the ground work the Aces chalked up first down after first down to the 20. His brother Bill then cracked the middle of the line to the 11. this point Agawam presented A stonewall defense and took over on dowes with the Berkshireites but two feet short of a first down.

Once more Aithison carried on guard around and lugged the leather clear up to the Tyler Aces' 40 before being brought down.
Drewnowski and Lou Gonet alternated in registering first downs up to the 20. Swinging wide and twisting his way Pisano advanced to the 14. Gonet was again to register another first at the seven. Continuing the sustained drive Hank Drewnowski bulled his way to the three setting up another Aithison play that saw the Brownies' guard score. A pass from Safforde to Walt Drewnowski was good for the additional point making it 19 to 0.
With but less than two minutes remaining in the game Agawam threatned once again. Safford intercepted an Aces' pass on the 25 and his way to 2-yard line.
