For Gayle Tatbot NEW YORK (AP) A big guy has just come to town who never or hardly ever stuck his head into any sports activity without coming out with a championship of some sort. And he has been handed one of the toughest jobs you could imagine trying to make a championship contender out of the Rangers. The big guy's name Is Murray Patrick, but everyone calls him "Muzz." The Rangers, if you don't remember, are a local hockey team which used to win titles with reasonable frequency but haven't even threatened lately.

Lost Job In fact, they slipped so far after the war that Muzz' dad, Lester, lost his Job after leading the club for 20 years. And brother Lynn, Frank Boucher and Bill Cook all failed to bring the club and its iard buck. And, to make it tougher, Muzz, after only a week to get acquainted with his team, run into three straight games against the Boston Bruins.

Five years later he was a big leaguer. Before that time, he had won the amateur heavyweight boxing championship of Canada. He had played on a Canadian championship basketball team, was an outstanding man in the "Big Four" Football League in his native British Columbia and took an occasional fling at baseball, track and bicycle racing.

He's Walter Fondren, Houston's great high school player. Walker, former All-America halfback at Southern Methodist and now an All-Pro for the champion Detroit Lions, wore No.

Joel Hunt, former Texas football star who coached at Louisiana State and Georgia, remarked about Pondren's ability to run until a tackier thinks he has a dead shot at him then cut back into the tackier and either bounce off or run right through the tackler's arms.
