If anyone should ask,
we Richardsons would
rather fight than switch
to anything but a 1965
Canadian Brier Curling
Championship.
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

in the competition I don't
see how anyone could
feel it would be easy.
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.

COMMERCIAL LEAGUE
I was sitting around not do-
ing a thing,
When there in the hall, I
heard the phone ring.
I lifted the receiver and
heard a voice say,
"Will you please take over
while I am away?"
I said, "I sure will do the
best I can do."
So for all you readers here's
what is new.
All but three regulars report-
ing for action and everyone set-
tling down to pretty good bowl-
ing now that ball and golf are
put away for the winter.
A tew of us are still having
headpin trouble but they have
that on the CBC, too, so why
try to be perfect?
Thanks to Joan and Ed Yeo-
man and Vicki Wild for filling
up the ranks.
Ruth Lott was a bit selfish ani
and took high single and triple
on the ladies' scores with a 258
and 648. Jim Bain had gents'
high single with 255 while Ken
Cerson took the triple with 657.
Team standings: Lott's
Lions 37; Templeman's Tigers
22; Cameron's Cougars 16;
Storey's Seals 32; Bain's Bea-
vers 13; Walden's Wildcats 31.
