BLACK HAWKS goalie Glenn Hall appears to be do- ing a little jig as he snags a 'sizzling shot on his citadel by PLANTE BLANKS BLUES Toronto Leafs' team captain George Armstrong in the first period of last night's NHL | tilt in Toronto, which ended in a 0-0 deadlock. --(CP Wirephoto) Hawks And Leafs Play First 0-0 Since 1957 By THE CANADIAN PRESS Jacques Plante, the goalie with the mask, is the chief rea- son why Montreal Canadiens are atop the National Hockey League. That, at least, is how coach Toe Blake of the Canadiens sees it. "T don't want to take anything away from the other players," says Toe. "But, let's face it. Without Plante, we wouldn't be as high in the standings as we are. Plante was sensational again Wednesday night when netmind- ers stole the spotlight in games at New York and Toronto. At New York, Plante shut out the Rangers 3-0 with a. stout 24-save performance that en- abled Canadiens to open up the biggest bulge any team has en- joyed on top of the heap this The second - place Toronto Maple Leafs dropped five points off the pace when they bat- tled to a scoreless tie with Chi- cago Black Hawks. EACH SAVES 30 Veteran goalers Glenn Hall of the Black Hawks and Johnny Bower of the Maple Leafs each made 30 saves for the NHL's first double shutout in one game since Dec. 28, 1957. The pre- vious scoreless tie was between Boston Bruins and the Hawks at Chicago. The one point gained by the Hawks snapped a fourth-place deadlock with idle Detroit Red Wings. These two teams meet in Detroit in tonight's only game. The Rangers, who remained third, had plenty of scoring op- portunities but Plante, aided by a strong defence, thwarted everything tossed his way. season. He even stopped a sizzler by 'SPORTS MENU By Geo. H. Campbell SPORTS EDITOR 'Everything From Soup To Nuts' * \ FEAST OR FAMINE! That's what the National Hockey League action has produced over the Christmas holiday weekend and since. Saturday night, the various team statisticians in the NHL had to sharpen their pencils at least twice in almost every game as there were goals galore and assists by the score. That's the night Boston Bruins even scored seven, ending Toronto Leafs' undefeated home record of this season. But last night, it was entirely different. For the first time since four years ago -- less one day -- they had a score- less draw in National Hockey League play, with Glenn Hall of the Black Hawks and Johnny Bower of the Mapleos each stopping everything fired in their direc- tion, including 30 official shots-on-goal for each of them. And that wasn't all -- Montreal Canadiens invaded Gotham and Jacques Plante came up with another sen- sational shutout performance, to enable the Habs to blank the Rangers 3-0, giving the Montreal club a five- point bulge over Toronto while Chicago's one point put them ahead of Detroit, at least until tonight, when the tito clubs clash in Detroit. & °F GREEN BAY Packers held a workout yesterday in one-above-zero weather and as one coach commented, folowing their 90-minute workout, in which the playé wore parkas, towels and gloves -- "no one was standing afound." With the two clubs very evenly matched and both keen to cop the National Football League title, this Sunday's title clash could prove one of the big games of all time. New York Giants are going to Green Bay prepared for the weather. In addition to regular equip- ment, they'll take along running shoes and gloves. The "sneakers" may be used if the field is frozen too hard te permit regular cleats to get a grip in the turf. Wear- ing cleats on a hard-frozen field is about as tricky as trying to walk on stilts over a frozen pond.

Seems Argos haye offered Joe a tempting bit of financial bait, Ted Hampson with his should- ers, bending over in pain for 30 seconds after the save. Bobby Rousseau, Ralph Back- strom and Gilles Tremblay scored the goals for Canadiens, who haven't lost a game to Ran- gers this season. The Blueshirts haven't been able to beat Canadiens with Plante in the nets for 16 con- secutive games. They won two games from the Habs last sea- son, doing it against substitute goalie Charlie Hodge. BEATS WORSLEY Rousseau, a rookie right winger, got the first goal at 2:04 of the second period, beating goalie Lorne (Gum) Worsley after splitting the New York de- fence. Backstrom made it 2-0 at 10:02 of the second, jamming 'a close-in drive behind Worsley from a scramble. Gilles Trem- blay's goal came with less than three minutes to go in the third. The Rangers had scored 19 goals in winning three-in-a-row before running into Plante. Plante's shutout was his third of the season. Hall also picked up his third while Bower got his The league's goose egg leader is Terry Sawchuk of Detroit who has four.

Red Kelly, Frank Mahovlicn and defenceman Carl Brewer of the Leafs also were foiled on good scoring chances. Bower made his best saves against Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita and Ab. McDonald. The Hawks and Leafs did just about everything but dump each other in the box seats in the first period. Seven minutes were handed out by referee Dalton McArthur in the first 20 min- utes, but things quickly settled down and only three infractions were called in the second pe- riod and none in the third.
