A REAt.. QUARTERBACK 'SNEAK?
Despite the fact that most football fields are
presently covered with a few inches of snow, and
the players are spending the off-season cavorting.
in the sunny south, the popular sport managed to
steal all the newspaper headlines with the an-
nounvement that Sana Etcheverry has ;signed with
tie St. Louis Cardinals of the National. Football
League.
The Etcheverry name is by no means a
newcomer to the sport page headlines, .and will
probably be very predominant in the same spot
for the next few weeks, Etcheverry, a nine-year
veteran with the Montreal Alouettes, is one of the
greatest quarterbacks to fait the Canadian football
scene, .and during the past season he was picked
as the all-star on the Eastern team. iMuch to the
dismay of several Tobin Rote supporters.)
At the conclusion of the season, Sam was
involved in a player trade that was termed •one of
the "strangest events" on the Canadian sport scene
during 1960. Along with all-star end, Hal Patterson,
Sam was swapped to Hamilton for Bernie Faloney
and Don Pacquet. This trade drew the ire of the
pP
Montreal supporters because Sam is the "Rocket"
Richard of football down that way. However, the
uprising appeared to be over and the Montreal
fans were resigned to the fact that Sam was leav-
ing, and the ink ceased to flow over the Etche-
verry .name.
That is, until the announcement last week
that Sam had signed with St. Louis. This brought
a storm of protest from Ted Workman, president
of the Alouettes, and he even promised a war
between Canadian and American football teams,
such as the one conducted a few years ago that
saw the Toronto Argos "lift" several big names
from south of the border.
The threat by the Alouettes came asa bit
of a surprise, because most people figured that
Sam was Hamilton property, and if anyone was
getting hurt it would be the Tiger Cats. However,
it appears that the trade was made in such a way
that the two quarterbacks had to play for the
other teams, or the trade was nullified.
The signing by St. Louis is still pending
on whether or not Sam's contract was broken
when he was traded. Apparently, the flashy signal -
caller had a no -cut no -trade clause in his contract
with Montreal, and he feels that this contract was
voided and he is now a free agent.
This complicated matter will undoubtedly
reach the courts before it is settled, and could
cause some bad feelings before Sam starts throw-
ing pigskins next fall, in either St. Louis, Hamilton
or Montreal
11 perchance he sticks with the Cardinals,
It would certainly be a heavy loss to Montreal (or
is it Hamilton) and. Canadian football, because Mr.
Etcheverry is one of the big drawing cards inthe
rugged sport. ,
We'll just have to wait and see, 1 guess.
HE'S REALLY WANDERING NOWI
With the Etcheverry deal filling the sport
pages last week, another interesting event was
taking place. that is almost as strange as the foot-
ball item, Jacques Plante, the masked marvel of
the Montreal Canadians of the NHL announced
that he would play for the Montreal Royals in the
Eastern Professional league. Plante, who set an
NHL record by copping the coveted Vezina trophy
for the fifth straight time, has been forced to the
sidelines by the capable showing of Charlie Hodge.
When Plante injured his leg earlier in the season,
Hodge was called up from the Royals to fill the
spot. He not only filled the spot, but he stole
Plante's job.
With Plante in the nets, Canadiens won 10,
lost seven and tied four. With Hodge they have
won 16, lost four and tied one. Plante is stepping
down to the EPHL at his own request, in an at-
tempt to sharpen up in regular games, so he can
get his old job back.
1-iovvever, Plante will have to sharpen up
quite a bit, as we doubt if the Nabs will give up
on a winning combination by sending Hodge back
to the minors. At present they are engaged in a
close battle with the Maple Leafs, and would hardly
be expected to give Plante a trial run.
So, if Hodge continues his good wort;, the
wandering Mr. Plante may be wandering right out
of the NHL picture. Hardly the fate one would
expect for a five -time Vezina winner; But, that's
life!
