As Bruins

By Joe Kelleyl

BOSTON, iAPi- Milt Schmidt. one of the greatest of Boston Bruins, has played his last game for the National Hockey League team.

The fiery. 36-year-old captain an- nounced his retirement from active play Wednesday. Henceforth. he will be in muftl on the bench coaching the team with which he has spent more than half his life- time. He will be in command Christmas night when Chicago comes to town.

He siicci-eds Li nn Patrick who from now on will confine his duties to the front office. yielding half his dual job of coach and general manager to Schmidt.

TOP SCORER.

Milt. who holds the Bruins' scor- lng record of 220 goals. never back- ed away from anyone. There are few players who challenged the redoubtable skater more than once.

Schmidt has been stitched often but his opponents have been stitched more.

That Schmidt usually was de-

fending himself in these battles is borne out by the penalty statistics. He never was near the top among the league's ranking bad men. But neither was he at the bottom.

Schmidt was centre for the fam- ed Kraut line. or the Kitchener Kids. one of hockwa greatest for- ward combinations. His llnemates were Bobby Bauer and Porky Du- mart.

Frequently named all-star centre Schmidt also won the Hart Trophy in the league's most valuable play- er in 1950-51. the season after they said he waa all through.

He has suffered I. broken jaw. shoulder separations. twisted knees wrist and groin injuries and has been cut countless times.
