CYO Senior Atom League -- Holy Cross 'vs St. Gregory's or Goalies It took a deep gash at the side John's war ES AT Canadian Press StaffWriter MONTREAL (CP) -- The eerie- looking contraptions that have been masking the face of goalic Jacques Plante started such con- tentious debate that finally an ap- peal was made to science. Essentially scien ce substan- tiated the claim of the sad-face' angular netminder of Montrea' Canadiens of the National Hocke: League, Special tests showed the! Plante's original mask, now su- perseded by a type of a differe pattern, did not hinder his visio' to the side or toward his fee! There was only slight hindranc --about two per cent loss--abov: "But I always let the high shot go over the net anyway, and eve without a mask I have to look u} for the bloopers," said Plante. NEW-TYPE MASK 3 Scarcely two weeks after the tests Plante blossomed out in hi new - type mask. Instead of : solid facial covering--except for openings for eyes, nose anc mouth--the new mask is of a bar pattern, something like a base- ball catcher's mask. The masks are similar, apart from the pattern change. Both are basically of glass-fibre con- struction and both fit the face snugly. The bars of the new type, all joined together, are made of filaments or threads of glass to a thickness of about one-quarter inch. The old type utilized flati§ weaves of glass fibres. The new type provides 30 open- ings, reducing perspiration to a minimum. If anything, it also permits better vision. From the time he introduced his first mask at Canadiens' training camp last fall, Plante SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' HOME FROM QUEBEC! The six Oshawa rinks that participated in the 47th annual Quebec International Bonspiel, arrived back home over the week-end to receive the congratulations of their club-members, who in turn, listened to reports of the fine time enjoyed. Two rinks brought home trophies from Quebec. Ken Conlin's rink, which included Ed. Disney, Bob Patte and Alex Mackay, captured The Royal Bank Trophy, while Les Eveniss skipped his rink to victory in the finals of the City of Quebec Trophy event. His cur- lers included Claire McCullough, Cec Stevenson and Bill Ridgely. We note that they had a schedule mix- up at the start of this year's big 'spiel in Quebec and apparently, next year they intend to cut down on some of the out-of-town entries, as well as some of their own hometown Quebec entries, in order to make room for rinks from Western Canada, and even from Scotland, who have expressed a desire to attend this gala event. HOCKEY STYLES -- Mont- real Canadiens' Jacques Plante takes off the original glass- Oshawa Ski Club executive, members and tourna- ment officials especially, can be forgiven if they feel the "weather man" played a dirty trick on them, this past week-end, Miserable rain and wet snow on Saturday meant that members spent uncomfortable hours "pack- ing down" the hill and outrun. Then when the weather changed on Sunday, they got gale-like winds which caused officials to rule that holding the Ontario Jumping Championships off their new "senior" tower, would be too dangerous, so they settled for the Junior tower, which resulted in shorter jumps of course. Then to make matters worse, parking facilities, at the hill used for the jumps, were not nearly adequate and the crowd was far above expectation, so they had traffic jams on the road from the highway into the club, at the club and for that matter, in the club quarters too. In short--they had so many interested spectators on hand, that it wasn't a success. However, that's a good problem to have to solve -- since it proves there is lots of interest, so the Oshawa Ski Club men can take it from here with steps for future improvement. In the meantime, their club champions, later this month, is their next big cal- endar event, BRIGHT BITS: -- Members of the Oshawa Scugog Cleaners Juvenile Softball Club, All-Ontario champions, in 1959, were feted by their sponsor and city officials, at a banquet on Saturday night.

Dean Alberta Race Tracks Strikes Colors STAVELY, Alta. (CP) -- It won't be quite the same along shedrow at Prairie race tracks next summer. p Ned Northwood. veteran owner and trainer, will stay at home in this southwestern Alberta town. Mr. Northwood, now 70, has re- covered from a winter illness but the rugged life of the race track is a thing of the past for the ma. chinist-turned-horseman. His horses, his tack and racing silks have been sold. The Teeworth Plate run each spring at Calgary is named after a great mare he once owned. The 1 1-16 mile event has a purse of $2,500. . Born in Bedford, England, he came to the west to ply his trade as a machinist and spent six years in Calgary after his arrival in 1911. Then he moved south to Stavely and has been here since, Northwood moved into the auto- mobile trade from a machinist and kept at it until 1943, when he decided to make the turf a full. time occupation.
