the oldest curler to participate in the Toronto-Dominion
Bonspiel on Saturday: Still good enough to make lots of
younger curlers envious he delivers his rocks with an accurate

The action this week didn't
start till Saturday when two Sea-
forth rinks took in a Spiel at
Ayr. This was for the business
• girls and the rinks were Betty
Canino, , Claire Brugger, Mar-
lene Robertson, Marg Sallows
and Leone Rowatt. Joyce Doig,
Gwen Patterson and Vi Peter-
son, the latter coming home with
third prize and the Memories
of an enjoyable day.
•InSeaforth It was the Tor-
onto-DOminion 11th Annual Spiel
which has to be the most Ontario
represented spiel anywhere, with
two full draws for one eight and
two six end games in each draw.
The early draw had four London
teams, and tearn.s from Wyoming,
le Burford, Chatham and Wingham.
Winner of the first event was
the Ctratham - team with three
wins plus 39 1/2, second prize
Market Braikh
with two wins plus 28 '1/2 and
consolation prize was won by
London Main with two wins.
The second event had two

was a Toronto team, skipped by
Seaforth's Dick Kirk with three
wins and a plus of 42 1/2. Sec-
, and prize went to Sarnia with
two wins plus 26 and consolation
was won by a London team.
The Toronto team with a plus
of 42 I./2 won the Toronto-Domin-
ion Head Office Trophy With the
highest points for the day.
"'-; Not only was it a good day
of Marling but for many it was
a day of visiting with former
I associateS. They included Fred
Snow, Harry Cuming, Dick Kirk
and several more former mem-
bers of the Seaforth Branch.
But most amazing- of all was a
gentleman by the naine of Ned
Boswell, who at the age of 83,
still throws . a pretty mean rock.
More power to you and may ,we
all be out there as long as you.
On Sunday the intermediate
team had their third'playdown.
It was against Guelph in Clinton
Base rink. They lost their first
game, coming back to win their
second; only to lose out in the
final. The players 'were J. pat-
tersen; Sr., L. Rowatt, F. Case
and Bill Lobb. Needless to say,
you had the good wishes of all
the Club. Better luck next year
boys.
The •players on the Silver
Tankard play-off ,which was also
called • for • Sunday were, unable
to get to paisley on account of
road conditions. .A decision has.
not been handed down 'yet as to
whether it is a default or not. I
will keep you posted on this.
Over the weekend Dave and
Grace Cornish took in a Spiel
at Kitchener with friends from
that city, coming home with first
prize.
On Wednesday afternoon the
mefi held their second'Spiel with
a lovely roast beef supper and
another game after supper. This
of course, is a tradition that
dates back a long, long time to
when as a boy in the old palace
rink, I remember seeing some of
the past members of the Club
cooking a pot of beans. What
else they enjoyed I don't know
for I was never allowed in their
room and not on their ice either
if Peck Johnston caught you.
Times change but the spirit re-
mains.

SPORTS SCENE
by Ding
The Seaforth Beavers tied the strong Port Elgin
team in the opening game of their semi-finals in the
OHA Intermediate' C" league. '
Area fans following the Junior ,B" team-s—ahould
be in for some real' good hockey as the Stratford
Warriors continue 'to advance in their bid for a
Provincial title.
Exeter of the Junior • D")ranks also continue
their climb . for Provincial honors. The Junior
A" followers are disappointed in London's efforts
this season and the Knights are struggling just to
make the final playoff spot in the OHA league'.
In the southern Junior "A" g'iou'p Guelph -has
surprized the league champions , Chatham Maroons
and are presently leading their semi-final series
2 games to 1.
In Curling fans following the Canadian
Championships saw Manitoba's Don DUguid win
his second straight title after a three way playoff.
Don will now try to capture his second straight
world title later this week in the World Champion-
held this year in France. At least in this
qne sport Canadians are proving to be the best. ,
In Baseball the exhibition schedules are under-
way in Florida and Canada's only major league '
team so far hasn't fared too well as they have
dropped their first two games. Perhaps a poor
exhibition schedule will mean a good regular season
for the Expos.
With hockey entering. its final'Month of regular
play and the playoff 'positions still in doubt, the
•importance of every game is amplified. While
almost everyone continues to watch the amazing
Bruins and Phil Esposito and Bobby Orr break
record after record we tend tb forget the goal
tending race for the Vezina trophy and the amaz-
ing performance of rookie Gilbert Perreault who
has tied the mark for a rookie set back in 1925-26
and tied by Danny Grant in 68-69. Not only has
Perreault tied the record , but he has 13 games
left in which to break this Mall( and .1s playing for
a new tech') with little or no playoff hopes. The
New York duo of Gilles Villein ure and Ed. Giacom in
Continue to lead the goalies in the Vezina trophy
race and are only threatened by Chicago's duo of
'Esposito and young Gary Desjardirts.
