This is by way of intro- ducing another series of my curling columns which will contain gener- al information, plans for our team and instruc- tions for curlers of all types. We would like to have curlers from across Ca- nada help us make these columns entertaining by presenting their ques- tions which we hope to be able to answer to the sa- tisfaction of all from time to time during the season. There is a question members of our rink have been asked many times since last March. It is the embarrassing one, what happened to the Richardsons in Char- lottetown? That's a good question? The logical answer of course is that we didn't make as many shots as that fellow from British Columbia L y a 11 Dagg did. NOT ENOUGH Without offering any excuses, I think those who saw us curl there would agree that we didn't curl well enough to win the Brier and no one knew it better than our- selves. That isn't to say we were overconfident, but with a'1 those good rinks LYCXUM SHOWPLACE OF WINGHAM — PHONE 357-1630 NOVEMBER 12-13-14 "BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI„ Colour - CinemaScope — Starring: William Holden, Alec Guiness and Jack Hawkins This is one of the greatest war dramas ever produced, and we are delighted to be able to bring it back to Wingham for a second time.

Nevertheless I must say we went into our fifth Brier more relaxed than any other we had played in. Too relaxed as it turned out. The fact that we got away to a good start ap- parently lulled us into thinking it wouldn't be as tough to win as the oth- ers. Even our loss to Jack Polybank of North- ern Ontario didn't shock us out of it. But we had our chance later and couldn't take advantage of it in our head-to-head battle with Dagg. He got the jump on us and then just wouldn't leave the door open for us to make a comeback. He beat us at our own game of applying the pressure until the other fellow makes the mis- take is- take s. This time we made the mistakes. It was the first time our rink had lost a Brier in five straight years, but if anything I think it will help make us more deter- mined curlers this year. The thin line between victory and defeat is one of the many features that go into making curling a great game. Even when you win the top prize in the country you can look back and recall at least a dozen games along the way when you had to make that last shot with the last stone on the final end or be eliminated. That kind of situation, such as a simple takeout, can be easy in a club game, but in a Canadian championship match that rock can look awfully small when you have to hit it to win and stay al- ive. In the 1964 Brier play - downs I think we hit our peak in the Saskatchew- an No rt h -South final against Moe Valade of Saskatoon. In that final our third man Arnold Richardson curled a per- fect 100 percent in the first game and 96 percent in the second to pace the victories. None of us went below 85 percent. There will be a change in the rink this season with Mel Perry replacing Wes Richardson at lead Mel took over in 1963 when Wes had to sit out for a year with a back in- jury. With Mel we took the Brier and Scotch Cup. This combination might just be successful again and from the standpoint of our desire to win this could be our biggest year. Bridge Club The.
