But seldom have we heard,- of dedicated physicians toiling in search of formulas outside the field of their train - Now word seeps .out of Saskatchewan that a mild- ina.neered ineclieo in Saskatoon has developed an antidote to relieve the aching muscles and sleeplessnights of countless urlers in bonspiel time, Two Dr. George Beall persuaded Saskatoon Bonspiei officials to take a whirl at a new mechanical draw system on which he had been doing laboratory studies for a period of 10 years. i The idea had been germinat- ing in his eurling-conseious mind ever since he had heard of Jim Weyman's noble expertrnent with an automatic draw competition in the famous Quebec International Bonspiel, simple genius Weyman's system had the simplicity of genius and was admirably suited to the car• nivel spirit of overwhelming hospitality for which the "In- ternational" has been known. :lt • consisted of a single string of events in which rinks were shuttled down with each loss to the next competition. No rink, therefore, could be in more than one event at a :time se bonspiel tie-ups and delays were summarily elim• Mated. Each rink was provided with a card on which all events and di .draws were charted,iced and timed. Gone were the days when the lead man had to keep in constant touch with the ice - room by phone or carrier pigeon in order to notify his skip when to put the cork in the bottle. This efficient, streamlined system was carried a step farther and introduced to the Manitoba High School Bon - spiel, at the request of the writer, by Al Archer in the late forties when he was a young commerce student. Archer devised a colored card system foreach game. The pasteboard was placed 'behind each sheet of ice by the umpires and was divided into • three detachable sections. The upper section was for .the score and skips' signa- ture. The middle portion was, retained by the winning rink and indicated the ice and time for the next game. The lower, section went to the loser and directed him similarly. The unique system completely elim- inated errors in oral direction' or typewritten instruction, It was tabulated, checked and double-checked, and a card for every game was ready: days before the first draw got under way. Adds few wrinkles The indefatigable Dr. Beall, who is so immersed in his new-feund hobby that he is vacating his busy medical practice for the entire month ef February to take on the duties of the drawmaster at , the North Battleford, Regina and Saskatoon rock-fests in- relying some 650 rinks, has added a few copyrighted wrinkles ef his own to the mechanical draw. Borrowing from golf, the doctor of draws has added curling* lights and copied the idea' ef seeding name rinks! from the tennis moguls. By ' Combining the three ingred- ients, the old horror, long -used in Western Bonspiel circuits, of having two main events and a 'double string of minor com- petitions with all their attend- ant evils of (1) Concessions to friends and dignitaries; (2) Back -breaking four draws per diem; (3) Late shifts followed by the up -at -sunrise draws: (4) Delayed finals, waiting for a rink with. a long winning streak to be defeated, have been removed, Divides curlers Or.. Beall's draw divides the Rink cops 7th in Legion spiel Two rinks, representing the Exeter Legion, competed in the annual Legion bonspiel staged in Kitchener, Sunday. Charlie Shane skipped one of the rings to seventh place in the event. Members of the rink included Bob Jeffery, Eldrid, and' Fred Simmons. Lee Learn skipped the other Exeter rink, Cop second spot at Listowel spiel An Exeter rink copped sec, and place among 32 teams in the annual mixed bonsPell ftaged in Listowel, Saturday. Comprised of Charlie Shane, skip; jessie Shane, vice -skip; Art, Cann, second and Bernice Cann, lead, the foursome won two games and ended up with a plus of 13, but lost a thrilling 7.6 final in the Renwick rink Earlier in the day, the ririk defeated teams frcnn Sfra tford and Burlington to gain a berth in the final. The two ladieS on the Egeter rink won ttnibrellas for their efforts, 10iile ‘,.their luitbantla won A lzkris fruit bowl each. The Shatte,rile tiWatt ntthe ottlY team entered troni Leh, ;elders into their respective 'categories of competition, Ile says, and I quote Scotty Mel. yille of Regina, "We must re, ;member that it isn't the prize Winners alone that make a bonspiel, If the little guys aren't paying their entry fee, you are not going to have a bonspiel. You have to give everybody who enters an equal chance," How right this dedi- cated medico drawmaster isl Here is a palliative that will help cure the rheumatism of our antiquated bonspiel sys- tems and at the same time gear the draws to the acceler- Ated demands of modern Uv - mg. (To he continued net wee1)- curling tip for today; Take every precaution when cleaning the cup of your stone and the lee in front of the hack preparatory to delivery. Every last vestige of dirt should be removed. Even a small shred of straw adhering to the rim will aid the gather. ing of refuse or dirt as the stone curls along the ice, This admonition is extremely important for draws and guards. Yoe can't be too careful. Shane holds margin, five rinks unbeaten Only five rinks remain un defeated in the Men's Curling club as play commences for the last hall of the South End Service draw. Charlie Shane maintained his slight lead in the race, coming up with a hard-fought 10-9 win over Allan Westcott, to give him 38 points in the first three games. Dick Jermyn follows closely on the leader's heels with 37 points after his five -point win over Harvey Cowen. Mac Hod- gert holds down the number three spot with 34 points, while Art Cann and Bill McLean are tied in fourth position with 33 points each. In last week's play, Ross Taylor came through with the biggest win, ending up with a 19-4 win over Russ Snell, who donated the trophy for the draw. Doug Hughson took second honors with his 17-5 triumph over'John Corbett's foursome, while Dick Roelofson emerged with a 14-5 win oover tflrie Snell to tak2 third place in the night's point standings. Elmer Bell and Charlie Smith teamed up in the closest battle of the night, with the Exeter lawyer emerging with the win in the extra rock after the two teams played to a 11-11 tie in regulation ends. Play was not as close this week as it has been, and there were only two one -point wins recorded. These were picked up by Shane and Mac }lodger over Westcott and McTavish Ernest Gerson, Glenn Mick] and Harry Snell each skipped their squads to two-point wins in the week's action.
