“Muzz” Runs Team Say Club Leaders
NEW YORK, N.Y.— Where does general manager-coach ‘Muzz’ Patrick fit into the Ranger hockey picture? “Muzz,” chairman William Jennings explained, “is in complete charge of running the club. We confer with him at considerable length on team matters.” Then, Irving Felt added: “But we have not and will not tell ‘Muzz’ what to do. Regardless of seniority we have as warm and close an understanding as any men so completely different from each other.”…
Fonteyne Unable To Snap 11-Week Scoreless Run Victim Of ‘No Count’ Goal On Referee’s Ruling
DETROIT, Mich.— The Red Wings, as boss Sid Abel has noted, aren’t going to score a netful of goals this season so the ones that get away are really painful. “Someone said we’ve had five goals disallowed so far,” Abel said. “We can’t win—put one in and the light goes on and the referee disallows it, put another one in and everyone sees it but the referee and goal judge.” Vai Fonteyne was the first victim and Fonteyne needs goals like Castro needs Khruschev. Through the first 11 weeks of the season, Fonteyne didn’t have a goal, the only Red Wing forward unable to register. Fonteyne’s “no-count” goal came in a matinee against the Chicago Black Hawks on a shot from the left boards. Glenn Hall blocked the puck at the corner but it trickled out…

Losing Complex Holds No Place With N.Y. Trio
NEW YORK, N.Y.— The New York Rangers are operated by a three-man directorate and while they are still feeling their way in hockey’s swirling big league game, they have one thing in common with the rest of their experienced NHL colleagues — they don’t like to lose either. Ranger President William Jennings doesn’t attempt to hide his emotion during or after a team game and neither do his two working confreres, Irving Mitchell Felt and Edwin M. Ost, chairman of the Rangers Board of Directors and secretarytreasurer, respectively. “We all get excited, but in different ways,” says Felt, a pleasant, soft-spoken man whose manner and background command respect. “Bill, for example, keeps the game to himself. But when the Rangers score, he goes crazy.” What makes the Felt-Jennings-Ost enthusiasm so surprising — and contagious…
