It Wasn’t Sonny Boy; It Was Old Man Vic Lindquist Himself In Full Flight
WINNIPEG, Man. — To paraphrase an old saying, “It isn’t necessary to have a sense of humor to be a hockey referee but it certainly helps.” For instance, there’s the case of whistle-tooter Vic Lindquist and the chuckle-provoking yarn that is told of him.

Ross, Lester Patrick and Leo Dandurand, three men responsible in no small measure for the success enjoyed by hockey today, had themselves quite a time talking about the old days and regaling younger members of the party with their humorous anecdotes. Besides being one of puck-dom’s top figures, Ross is also one of the most genial hosts along the hockey beat… Elmer has dropped ten pounds since he went on a liquid diet as a result of his broken jaw.
