Oilers Bubble Over Underage Find
EDMONTON—Whenever the Canadian Olympic hockey team is out of costume, it’s easy to spot Glenn Anderson. He’s the goofy-looking guy wearing the mouseketeer cap. But, it doesn’t seem to bother Edmonton Oilers. They know damn well he’s not mickey mouse on the nice. Anderson, 19, was Oilers’ fourth-round draft pick in last August’s National Hockey League entry lottery. At the time, most people said Glenn Who? He was simply an underage rightwinger from U of Denver that nobody had ever heard of. Nobody went bananas over the fact that he led Denver in scoring last season, either. But, people are excited now.

Trustees’ Decision Weakens Dreams Of St. Lawrence Hockey Powerhouse
CANTON—A long time ago, the Pharoah of Egypt tumbled out of the wrong side of the bed and decreed that henceforth the Israelites, captive hordes who’d built all his cities and pyramids, would not be supplied with straw from which to make bricks. A great hue and cry went up, and as you know, God sent a head coach named Moses to recruit a team of leaders who brought the Israelites to the Promised Land. Egypt never again made it to the Eastern Mediterranean divisional playoffs. While the recent decision handed down by the St. Lawrence University trustees wasn’t as abrupt sounding as that of the Pharoah, it will certainly limit the supply of human bricks and mortar with which the next head hockey coach must try to rebuild the once-proud St.…
