Last year the boys shared goaltending duties and their return will give the 'A I'-'' A--J garne schedule on Feb. 20. Pats opened their training camp today at 9 a.m. with a second drill to follow at 5" p.m.

Facing a year of rebuilding, Mario will have only eight holdovers from bis Memorial Cup finalists of last season and will have to rely mostly on Juvenile graduates and newcomers invited to attend the training camp. Of the eight players returning, By RON CAMPBELL "With a break-on about three ef our newcomers," said Frank Mario, we will give any other clubs in the league a real run for their money this year." Mario, who is starting his third season as coach of the Regina Pats, was referring to his club's chances in the coming Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League campaign which gets under way Oct. 17 and winds iip its 168- Pats the best pair in the league this year. Terry Harper, Don Rogers, Dave Boa and Jack Phillips, all defencemen, are back and should form the backbone of Mario's blueline brigade.

The reactions were brought on Win Will not only from the score worst wards returning from last year's western Canada champions. GOALIES GALORE While most observers feel that Pats will be sound in goal, manager Del Wilson must have his eye on the future as he has brought in three additional net-minders to vie for a berth on the club.

Heading the list is Art Kob-erinskl, a 15-year-old from Sin-nett, Sask. Jim Letcher and Bobby Haymond are the others. Letcher comes highly recommended from hockey moguls at Kam-loops, B. and Haymond is from Rossland, B. C.

A pair of Nanaimo, B.C. boys, Larry McNabb and Jim Dawes, will be gunning for blueline jobs along with Wayne Kartusch, a graduate of the Pat juveniles. Battling for left wing positions are Vernon Wildeman of Leroy, Butch Kaems of Craik; Albert Holmes of Rossland; Dan Zolab of Nanaimo; Larry Morrison and Ron Bahr, a pair of Pat Juvenile grduates, and Butler. Right wingers in camp are Mickey Vernon B.C.; Reg Perry of Leroy; Larry Edwards of Wawota; and John Ivanitz and Scott Watson up from the Pat juveniles. Wilkie heads the list of centres in camp.

Others are Larry Fischer of Rosetown; Mike Harper of Wawota; Joe Baumgarten of Carrot River and Jon Art from the juvenile Pats. TICKET DRIVE Tuesday evening at a smoker in the King's Hotel, the Pat executive announced plans for their season ticket selling drive. This year season tickets will be sold for $10 on a 10-game basis with the purchaser having the option of buying the same seats for additional games at any time. A card will be given to each season ticket purchser which will show the number of paid games they are entitled to along with the seat location. This card is to be presented to Gillies Agencies where the actual tickets will be issued.

Tickets will be held until 5 p.m. the day of the game or may be obtained at wicket No. one at the Stadium between 7 and 7.30 prior to each game, Season ticket holders will also have special playoff privileges and with the change in the reserved seating system at the Stadium, holders will have an added advantage.

Lyle sent an all-Canadian back- Two teams had new managers.

A third rewarded its leader with a new contract. St. Louis Cardinals signed former Cardinal Solly Hemus for a pne-year term at a reported $33, 000. Cincinnati Redlegs ended the speculation as to whether Birdie Tebbetts' interim successor, Jimmy Dykes, would be kept on for 1959. They hired former Philadelphia manager Mayo Smith for a year and left Dykes' status with the club uncertain.

Harry Craft, who won 14 mora games with Kansas City Athletics this year than last, received a one-year renewal of his contract at what the club said was a substantial increase. Craft won 73 games, finishing seventh. PLAYING MANAGER Hemus succeeds Fred Hutchinson. Hemus, who played with Philadelphia this season, also made himself available as a playing manager, the only one in the majors. The Phils received in-fielder Gene Freese for Solly.

Smith, deposed by the Phils July 22 after the club tumbled from second place to the second divisi6n in the National League, was an early nominee for Tebbetts job. Tebbetts resigned earlier this month after being in the second division most of the year and a constant scapegoat, for Cincinnati fans. hoop looj field against the Bombers for most of the first half of the ball 41 i The Regins Moose Jaw Senior Men's Basketball League became a certainty Tuesday night as six teams submitted entries to the game and they didn't make as much headway as some felt the regulars might have made. "ENORMITY" SASKATOON (CP) Gordie Howe scored five goals to lead Detroit Red Wings of the National Hockey League to a 10-3 victory over Saskatoon Quakers of the Western Hockey League in an exhibition game Tuesday night before a capacity crowd of 5.500 fans. Other Detroit scorers were Johnny Wilson and Pete Goegan with two goals each and Jack Melntyre with one.

Gordon LaBossiere, Winnipeg junior who is certain to catch a place with the Quakers, Aggie Kukulowicz and Elliott Choriey tallied for Saskatoon.

The future of the proposed backfield against the toughest club in the league in the most im portant game of the season to senior women's league became clouded, however, as only one team, Regina Lexiers, submittted QEORGE TERLEP, coach of Saskatchewan Roughiiders, said that he was "more than happy" with what the Riders managed to do In the first nine games of the Western Conference schedule.

The prirted words show that Riders have 11 points from five wins, a draw and three losses. Edmonton Esks have the same number of points with four losses and the Calgary Stamps are standing st 10 points from five wins and four defeats. Winnipeg Bombers are runaway leaders, with eight wins against two defeats. And so another crucial weekend lies ahead of the Riders, with a game in Calgary on Saturday and a home stand Monday night against the explosive Winnlpeggers. The Bombers play in Edmonton Saturday and on Monday Calgary goes to C.

There's one thing about Terlep. He tells the truth even though it may sound like the moaning of the wind around a deserted prairie barn. "I'm thankful for the three points we picked up from the tie game at Edmonton and the win over B.C. Lions." he said. "The Esks ran better than they did in their previous game with us in Regina, but our defence came through when we really had to stop them.

Still, we were lucky to come out with the tie. But we should have beaten them in Regina. so I didn't mind the luck, "With our defensive team holding up it may not be the best in the league but it has come a long way in recent games and our defence on passing taking a lift, I think we could create some surprises if we got our ground offence rolling. We need better blocking. That worries me, because with the prospects of poorer weather as the season goes along, we must have something going on the ground.

"The line holds well when we throw passes. Frank Tripucka is getting splendid protection and the receivers have given him good support but if we can't run the ball we'll always face The arrival of tackle Harry Javcrnick from Cleveland Browns' camp may help matters a bit Javernick, who played with University of Colorado last season, was the Browns' last cut from the position and checked in with good reports on his offensive ability. The line needs inspiration when it comes to giving the beleaguered backs some right-of-way and if Javernick is the boy who can direct the traffic he could well be the man of the year in Regina. Karl Koepfer, announced today, will have the same opportunity to help out -A- rTERLEP HAS RESPECT FOR THE ENEMY at til times and even had nice things to say about the B.C. Lions, who seldom hear nice things at home.

He thought the Lions played good, scrappy ball. "Their line is as good as they he added. "I'd say their main weakness is on pass defence and we had to play that to the hilt. It was" a tough game. The Lions had plenty of variation pn the attack.

They gave us lots of trouble." Three points are three points, but the future always looms dark. "Calgary," said Terlep. "Yeah, we play them Saturday night. The Stamps have boosted their stock with Gene Filipskl and Verl Switzer, the new backs. Against B.C.

the other night Filipski was the best halfback on the field. They'll have Switzer against us, too, and they'll be in the mood to go again after snapping out of their losing streak. "And then it's Winnipeg here on The Bombers can make you look awfully bad. They're an explosive outfit and if your pass defences are at all wobbly they'll boom over you like birds. They can run.

too. Right now the Bombers are the best-balanced team and they've got a lot of pride in their work. That really counts for something and it's all on the scoreboard. "But, as I said, the Riders have done a little better than I figured on and maybe they've got pride, too. They know what they have to do if they want to make the playoffs.

If you look at the standings and the schedule ahead it's quite clear what needs to be done." The coach had more things than the game to worry about when Riders arrived in Vancouver, Ken Carpenter, Ron Atchison. Doug Killoh and Kurt Burris suffered severe body bums from the saturated compound that was used to mark the Edmonton field. It was likely that a number of Eskimos also needed treatment (there was considerable shuffling of the Esk lineup Monday in Winnipeg) although the diagnosis of somebody in Edmonton was that "wet equipment rubbing against wet skin" must have caused the injuries. That will amuse Dr. Coulter Rennick, who treated the Rider players afterwards.

Several Riders and members ef an opposing team suffered similar painful burns in Regina a few seasons back when a game wa played on a wet field. lime, apparently, got mixed in with the marking compound but there was no attempt to play down the incident It would be interesting to know how many Esks were hurting from burns when they played Winninesr and were clobbered Monday night an entry. vV7 Six teams will form the men's loop.
