ARGOS, TI-CATS FIGHTING SLUMPS

Minds not on the game?

coach John Payne complains
some of his Tiger-Cats
players don’t have their

Both statements underline

‘ the claim of some critics that

neither team deserves to
qualify for the Eastern
Football Conference playaffs
since both have won only
four of 14 games.

Yet, one of them will ad-

against Montreal Alouettes,
And Hamilton could do it
without winning another

In the contest for the third

tie and nine losses, hold a_

one-point advantage over the

The Ticats meet the

Riders in Ottawa on
Saturday while Argos face
British Columbia Lions on
Sunday before closing out
the season in a Toronto-

both clubs lose this weekend,
the Ticats need only a tie in

Dickerson, offensive line
coach under head ‘coach Bud
Riley, alluded to the fact that
the future of Riley and the
other Toronto coaches is not
secure beyond the end of the
season and this is having an

‘effect on the players. Riley
was moved up to interim

co-ordinator after the mid-‘
season firing of head coach
Leo Cahill.

Goaltenders
turning to
cage masks

Dan Bouchard says he'd be
afraid to play hockey without
one. Glenn Resch thinks they
are the wave of the future.
And Don Edwards wonders

‘how anyone would dare

stand in front of the net
without one. .

The newfangled “bird-
cage" mask being worn by
goaltenders throughout
hockey, including many of
the National Hockey
League's top nelminders,
may look peculiar but those
who use it say it’s the safest
and most comfortable mask
around.

“When you get hit in the

severe," says Resch of New

_ York Islanders. “I wasn’t

sold on the fibreglass but I
used It.

“Then I saw our Swedish
goalie, Goran Hogosta, get
hit on the coconut a couple of
times and not feel a thing. So
I said maybe I should give it

a try.

“But there have been im-
provements in it and I feel
it’s saved me eB a
couple of times. Sight-wise,
it’s as good as fibreglass. But
protection is the big thing.”

Protection is the main
reason Bouchard of Atlanta
Flames uses the birdcage.

It resembles a football
helmet in many ways,
“except that the bars cover
the whole area of the face,
not just the lower part of it,
like in football," he says. “I

The Baseball Writers

Vida Blue of San Francisco
Giants, with 17 points, and
IR. Richard of Houston As-

Blue and Richard each
