The Maritime final featured as astonishing sequence of events as St. Mary’s U was awarded the title after successfully protesting on the grounds that one of the referees R.E. Pierce, was the brother of a Moncton player Doug Pierce. In fact, the referee himself had played on the team until February. CABA upheld the protest and ordered a sudden death playoff but Moncton said they’d forfeit and allow a “losing team” to go to the next round. CABA’s Baldwin noted: “At the beginning of the third quarter, St Mary’s, which was then leading the series by 18, was subjected to 16 consecutive foul shots. Non-existent violations for travelling were called versus St. Mary’s. Ref-in-chief Hal Betts questioned the calls. St. Mary’s informed the officials the game would continue under protest. In this quarter, two of St. Mary’s players fouled out. One was banished from the game. Referee Pierce declared two others banished and the game forfeited but was overruled by Ref-in-Chief Betts. After the game, pressure was put on referee Betts in the nature of threats to his job at city hall.”

The Jewellers’ Izzy Mandell stole the ball, dribbled it into the corner and launched a prayer which fell through the hoop. All of this apparently occurred within three seconds. The officials, Stan Mockford and Ollie Mandryk claimed they hadn’t heard the buzzer and announced that they would abide by the decision of timer Ed Lynch, who said he thought the ball was in the air when the buzzer sounded. All three officials were from Toronto. Lynch later admitted that at one point during the contest he neglected to start the clock and that he really didn’t know much about basketball.
