Player-of-the-Week
PROVIDENCE, R.I.—Paul Larivee, one of the very few Montreal born and bred players performing outside the Montreal Canadiens’ organization looked like his old self in four Providence games last week.

MONTREAL, Qué. Lynn Patrick, general manager of the Boston Bruins, said that the club’s action in asking waivers on four players — Norm Johnson, Real Chevrefils, Larry Regan and Dutch Reibel — was an attempt to strengthen the team and was not a result of the reports about internal strife. “Actually, there is less unrest than the newspapers would lead you to believe,” he said. “I asked waivers on those four players because I simply thought they weren’t good enough to help us.” There was another item he wanted to clear up. “I did not go over Milt’s (Schmidt) head at those meetings in New York,” he declared. “He requested me to conduct a meeting while he was not present.
