Rosters were reduced from 40 players to 34 on September 15.
Ottawa's Ron Stewart rushed for 287 yards on 16 carries in a game in Montreal against the Alouettes on Monday, October 10. He rushed for four touchdowns, one in each quarter, on runs of 39, 51, 51 and 37 yards. He broke the single-game record of 217 yards held previously by Hamilton's Gerry McDougall.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers honored their 11-year veteran guard with "Buddy Tinsley Night" at half-time during their Thursday, October 13, 1960 game versus the BC Lions.
