July 9.

Dandurand was interested in all sports. He had a Midas touch. born 0 extraordinary executive ability and a genial- ity that made him liked by all.

It was Dandurand who. with two partners. bought Montreal Canadiens for $11,000 after the First World War and astuteiy built them into the famed Flying Frenchmen of hockey. The club was sold for $165,000 16 years later.

It was Dandurand who virtu- ally made big-time football in Montreal after the Second World War by taking over a nonde- script Big Four tearm. reorganiz- ing it completely. naming it Alouettes and shepherding it in- to a powerful club.

It was Dandurand. too. who at once time directed the for- tunes of the Montreal baseball Royals of the International League and who turned his di- rective talents to horse racing, with wide interests in the Uni Sta s
