Although most skips, in-
cluding myself, have some
private little signals all
their own, there is a basic
set of directions skips pass

THE LONG SHIPS

An adventure of the Viking age
Starring RICHARD WIDMARK
and SIDNEY POITIER
Show Time -7:15 and 9:30
on to members of their
team that are universal.
The special signals are
generally used by skips who
have been with the same
play e r s for considerable
time and they carry out the
skip's directions with a min-
imum of verbal orders or
vigorous display.
Most of these signals per-
tain to the position and
weight the skip wants on the
stone and these signals are
given before the skip actual-
ly places his broom for the
ice and signals for the turn
he wished on the stone.
This system saves a lot of
shouting by the skip to give
information to the man on
his rink playing the shot.
Where sweeping is con-
cerned, many experienced
skips with equally exper-
ienced teammates also sig-
nal with hand or broom the
force of sweeping desired.
Skips do this with a gentle
shaking of the broom or
hand for light sweeping and
a vigorous shaking for vigo-
rous sweeping.
With experienced teams
that have played together
for a long time, the skip fre-
quently leaves judging of
the weight of the shot to the
sweepers, while he calls
sweeping if the shot should
happen to be off the broom.
The skips also directs sweep-
ing if the shot calls for a
draw around another stone
or through a port.
In calling for a hack
weight takeout, the skip will
tap his broom on the stone
to be hit, then reach back
and touch the hack with his
broom. He wants the stone
played heavy enough to
reach the hack. Most skips
will give the ice the same
horizontal line as the stone
to be hit.
Back ring weight is just

Elora Rink Takes
W. Foundry Trophy
The annual Western Foundry
bonspiel was held last Wednes-
day at the Wingham Curling
Club, The Western Foundry
Trophy and first prize in the 9
o'clock draw went to a rink
skipped by Bob McEnery of El-
ora.. Other members were Bill
Maben vice, Lee Symmes sec-
ond, and Hugh Waind lead.
They posted three wins and a
plus of 14.
Runner-up in the early draw
was a rink skipped by Judge R.
S. Hetherington of Wingham
heavy enough to reach the
back rings or back line if in-
dicated by the skip. This is
called for either a draw or
light takeout. With back
ring weight on a takeout, it
is generally necessary to
sweep the opponent's stone
after it has crossed the tee
line in order to take it
through the house.
I particularly like light
takeout weight because, if
the stone to be removed is
not struck exactly right you
save your own stone, and
this can be most valuable at
almost any time in a match.
Also with a hack or light-
weight shot, a chap and a
lie shot can be readily
made. This is to hit the
stone to be taken out on the
side, then have your own
stone carom over to a better
position in the house, pref-
erably behind a guard. The
general term for chap and
lie in present day curling is
the takeout and roll shot.
Other weights you will see
indicated are tee weight,
with two wins and a plus of 11.
Third was a rink skipped by Jim
Carr, also of Wingham.
In the 11 a. m. draw, Len
Schmidt's rink from Walkerton
came out the winner with three
wins and a plus of 13. Also on
this rink were Ed Tanner, Gor-
don Tanner and the veteran,
Bill Dobson.
Runner-up in the late event
was Jack Bowman's rink from
Brussels with two wins and a
plus of 10. Last year's winner
of this event, Ted Thede's rink
from Kitchener, ran into some
rough going and this year finish-
ed out of the prize list.
GOOD FISHING
Landed value of the catch of
Canada's sea fisheries totalled
$115 million in 1963; landed
value of the catch of the in-
land fisheries is about $20 mil-
lion annually.
front ring, and in front of
the house when you do not
have last rock on the end.
This could later become' a
guard for your shot if the
opponent should fail to
keep the front clear.
Whenever possible t h e
skip will stand at, or near
the point he wishes the play-
er to draw to and in this
way help his player in judg-
ing the weight and distance
the stone must travel.
The skip's direction of the
play is the key to the confi-
dence with which his play-
ers make their shots.
