Pusie, McVeigh Rate High As All-Time Jokers
MONTREAL. Que.— To listen to the veterans of the hockey wars chat about the ‘characters’ they met in the roaring 20’s and 30’s is something every sportswriter loves to do. If you’re a good listener then you’ll get a lot of laughs, for believe it or not the ice game has produced an amazing number of those characters. Lester Patrick, now owner and operator of the Victoria Cougars of the P.C.H.L. and former coach, manager and vice-president of the New York Rangers is, without a doubt, the dean of all story tellers. We asked Patrick recently whom he rates as the all-time character in the game. “That’s hard to say,” said Patrick. “There’s been plenty of them.

BOSTON, Mass— Milton Schmidt, the 32-year - old captain of the Boston Bruins, is on the move again. The battle-scarred veteran, who may have lost all claim to being a hockey specialist because of his versatility, is being tried at right wing by Coach Lynn Patrick. When Patrick issued his lineup for the exhibition games with which the Bruins led into their regular season, he listed Schmidt as a right wing. Captain Milt was installed on a line with two big youngsters, Eddie Sandford at center and Dave Creighton at left wing. Patrick’s experiment with Schmidt, the announcement of which was made while the Bruins were still at their Hershey, Pa., training base, created little stir here. Like Bill Goodman In the last two years, not happy ones for the Bruins, Schmidt developed into Boston’s wintertime version…

Virtually every high school and prep school hockey squad in New England was present, and among the college squads attending were those of Boston University, Brown, Northeastern, Boston College, Suffolk and Dartmouth. The demonstration attracted coaches, amateur officials and fans from as far away as New Brunswick.
