Lamirande To Become Amateur To Join Macs On World Tour

MONTREAL, Que.— When a referee makes a strong-recommendation to the Quebec Hockey League officers that a certain player should be warned against his unorthodox style of play Sid Holstead believes the matter should be brought to the attention of the player’s club at once.

On The Sidelines Gerry Glaude can take the bows for the great surge the Chicoutimi Sagueneens made in the past week as they humbled the Royals 9-3 at the Chicoutimi Coliseum, then made it a complete sweep of the Quebec League by topping the Aces 9-1 in the Quebec fortress before returning home to nose out Three Rivers Lions 4-3. The resurgence of the Sagueneens co-incided with Claude’s assumption of the assignment of playing-coach. The job was offered to the big defenceman with the cannonball slapshot nearly two weeks ago, but he hesitated in a hassle over money—what else with a pro athlete?—with president Paul Murdock. Lt’s understood that after a second huddle satisfactory remuneration was arrived at. Glaude must have been happy enough to instill a winning spirit into his playmates. In their…
