I feel that the actions and behavior of players on the ice should be of the highest order at all times. The curlers themselves are the best salesmen for the game. Their deport- ment on and off the ice is most important in keeping up the high quality of sportsmanship and enter- tainment necessary to the success of any sport. The etiquette of curling pertains chiefly to the consideration of opponents and teammates alike in all matters of play. Observing the basic rules of curling is all a part of the general etiquette regardless of the importance of the competi- tion. So, some of the things that should be observed by all curlers are recorded here for your study. FULL VISION Players other than the skips of each team, when not delivering a stone should stand well to the sides of the sheet of ice on which they are playing. This allows full vision to the skip and the player who is delivering the rock. This is a must when a wide broom is being given. Players should not con- gregate behind the house —or rings—when one of the opposing players is shooting. Or, one of their own players for that mat- ter. And, in the same re- gard, when the skip is giving the broom for one of his players no other broom should be on the ice near or behind the skip. While an • opponent is delivering a stone, the next player should not be mov- ing around behind the hack in a way that would distract his opponent. He should, however, be ready to deliver his rock when his turn conies. Skips, or vice -skips when the skips are shooting, are the only persons allowed to sweep behind the tee line (or centre line of the rings). This means that one person only on each rink can sweep behind the centre line of the rings. ADVISING Vice -skips may consult with their skips at any time during the game as to strategy. As well as the duty of advising the skip on difficult decisions, the vice -skip takes care of the scoring of ends and also decides when a measure is required to determine shot stone. Finally, as in football, huddles are permitted by teams in curling, but block- ing out an opponent when in the rings is definitely an infraction of etiquette. I y / Good etiquette in curling is sometimes very subtle. Brussels Rink Wins Hiram Walker 'Spiel Jack Bowman's rink from Brussels entered in the early draw in the annual Hiram Wal- ker bonspiel at the local curling club, walked off with the trophy last Wednesday with three wins and a plus of 15. In the same draw Jack Lloyd of Wingham was in second place with two wins and a plus of sev- en. Third spot went to George Riley of Mt. Forest and his quartette with two and five. Consolation prize went to Mel Reid of Port Elgin. In the 11.00 o'clock draw, top honours went to Howard Kennedy of Tara with three and SNOW TIRES WOULD PREVENT THIS! With winter just around the corner, now is the time to do something about snow tires. Don't wait until you're forced to add towing charges to the expense of running an auto that's not prepared for winter. Come in soon and get our prices on tires. Wingham Motors PHONE 357-2720 eight followed by Robert Bain of Kitchener with two wins and a plus of eleven. Harley Craw- ford of Wingham captured third prize with a two and nine court. The consolation in this event went to Bob McKague of Tees - water. John Cruickshank, bonspiel chairman, presented the Bow- man rink with the Walker Tro - phy and silver trays. Other win- nining rinks had a good choice of prizes. Other skips entered in the bonspiel were Doug Brown of Brampton, Carl Schaefer, Tees - water, Don Carswell of Clifford, Murray Rae of Wingham, Andy Whetham, Seaforth, Frank Mc- Cormick, Wingham, Lloyd Casemore, Wingham and Jack Bateson also of Wingham. COMMERCIAL LEAGUE December 10, 1963. It seemed to take a long time for everyone to get into the spirit of the game tonight.
