Campbell “Benches” Lefty Wilson; Can’t Return Until December 1
MONTREAL, Que.— Ross (Lefty) Wilson, assistant trainer with Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League, was ordered by NHL president Clarence Campbell to stay away from the Detroit players’ bench at all games until Dec. 1, 1954. The decision was made following a complaint by Referee-in-Chief Carl Voss that Wilson directed abusive remarks at the referee in a game at Toronto, Nov. 3. In Toronto, Nov. 4, president Conn Smythe of Toronto Maple Leafs demanded Wilson be fined 81,000 for a remark allegedly shouted at Referee Red Storey. Smythe quoted Wilson as shouting, “Storey, You’re Yellow.” The ruling made here Saturday will not prevent Wilson from carrying on his duties as assistant trainer. This is the third time in recent years Wilson has been disciplined for the same reason. NHL officials said.…

Patrick’s Itinerary Includes Double Shift Duty
BOSTON, Mass.— The busiest man in the City of Boston, at least in a sports sense, is Lynn Patrick, doing double duty for the Boston Bruins. For Patrick there’s no such thing as an eight-hour day or a 40-hour week. Lynn’s days this season are running from early to late, his weeks from Sunday through Saturday. He has no time off, no days off. Until this fall two men filled the positions now occupied by the 205-pound Patrick, those of manager and coach of the Bruins. Until this fall Patrick was the coach solely; the manager was Arthur H. Ross, now retired. As a coach Patrick devoted his time to running his team; as a manager he’s running the Bruins’ organization, of which the team is a part. The assignment is a big one, but Lynn seems…
