A roundup of Nov. 1 sports history recalls milestones including Notre Dame’s 1913 win over Army, the NBA’s first game in 1946, Chuck Cooper becoming the league’s first Black player, and goalie Jacques Plante’s adoption of a protective mask. In Australian horse racing, jockey Jamie Melham’s Melbourne Cup and Caulfield Cup victories a decade after Michelle Payne’s breakthrough win highlight how women have challenged barriers in the sport. In Italy, Arezzo and Ascoli were preparing to meet in a rivalry shaped by last season’s promotion race, with Arezzo seeking its first home win over Ascoli since 1968. A local sports retrospective also profiled McMinnville soccer coach and jazz musician Jory Shene, and recalled strong seasons by McMinnville cross-country and Linfield women’s soccer teams.
