With the change, the quality of play has also improved tremen- dously and this has carried through even at the level of club games. And, although it might be attributed to an increase in the value of prizes in some sections of the country, par- ticularly in Western Cana - 1111111=11111111•1 CROWN THEATRE HARRISTON THUR.-FRI.

The improvement in play generally, and the appear- ance of many outstanding rinks has been brought about through a boom in curling popularity across Canada, and now in other parts of the world. Like golf, curling offers a challenge to improve, and the increase in the number of bonspiel of all types, pro- vides the competition neces- sary to develop better play- ers. Then there is the fact that each of the public, or semi- public rinks, provides per- sonal instruction — in many cases free — and the im- provement in many in- stances has been fantasti- cally rapid. Another point — similar to golf on a pay -as -you -play basis — is that players can at least make a start in the game. From this source has come many of our leading players in recent years. Aft- er that start, however, they generally wind up in a pri- vate club. Some quickly move to the highly competi- tive bracket of the game. This trend of general im- provement was proven in the 1965 Brier at Saskatoon where the play was fairly even, and there was not the vast difference in quality of rinks from different sec- tions of the country. The quality of play has picked up in all scetions, and within the next two or t h r e e years, the Brier should develop into an event which could be won by any one of the 11 provinces rep- resented. There was some concern among both players and spectators at Saskatoon that the game might become too scientific among the coun- try's leading players and as a result lose much of its in- terest. The strictly knockout type of play with several blank ends — most of them deliberate — is making it a dull performance for spec- tators. The feeling also exists that this type of play, espe- cially by accurate shooters, brings all top-ranking cur- lers into pretty much the same ability bracket. Much of this concern in our mind is unwarranted. Expert skips have generally been able to switch their style of game at any point, and with a tea made up of players who are versatile enough to play most of the shots required, that team will win often in any kind of cotnpany. As in most other sports, ability, Variety and strate- gy are generally the factors that separate the men from the boys. Broomball Games Two broomball games were held on Tuesday last week in the North Huron Men's League semi-finals. Wingham trounced Whitechurch 7-1 and 10th Wawanosh defeated Brus- sels 1-0. In the girls' league, Brus- sels got two goals on Monday night while holding the Bel- grave team scoreless. COMMERCIAL LEAGUE About half -way through the night's bowling, word was pass- ed along to each person that our friend, Jim Bain was on 7 strikes. Then it was 8; then 9; then 10. A sudden hush fell over the alleys as we all waited with bated breath, hoping Jim would finish off with that all important perfect game, but with everyone watching (and trying hard not to), it was too much for Jim, and on his eleventh bowl, he left thatyou- know-what corner pin, and missed it again on the twelfth bowl. But, even so, congratula- tions are in order, as Jim ended up with a game total of 431. How's that for a high single? I am sure Jim was no more excit- ed that the rest of us. Spares who helped us out were Jim Deneau,Jack Walker, Vicki Wild, Helen Casemore, Hilda Brown and Joan Yeoman. This was certainly "Bain" night. Dot Bain took the high single with 243. Hilda Brown took the high triple with 608. Jim Bain with a 431 took the men's high single and also the high triple with a beautiful918. Congratulations again, Jim. Team standings: Lions 109; Seals 98; Wildcats 89; Cougars 83; Tigers 82; Beavers 65. To Grace Walden, who is a patient in Wingham and District Hospital, go our best wishes for a speedy recovery. 0--0--0 WEDNESDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE Some will likely remember away back near the first of the season, when I made a remark about Bill Ivlaclntyre getting 100 with a good handicap. Well, Bill didn't even need his handi- cap last week. He took the men's high single with an even 300 and went on to pick up the high triple with 745. Very nice bowling, Bill. For the ladies, Dorothy Tur- ner came up with a 221 for the high single, followed closely by Betty Lee with 220, and the high triple of 585. The Kats have now passed the hundred, with 101 followed by the Tigers with 79; Packers 76; Rovers 66; Hawks 65 and the Larks 54. Special thanks to Jo English, Mrs. Dave Crothers, Sharon Ed- wards and Rod Hickey for help- ing out. We want to take this oppor- tunity to express our thanks to the Wingham Advance -Times for donating the trophy which is on display in the Advance - Times window. This trophy will be presented to the high team (and it looks very much as if the Kats might be that team), at the end of the regular season. n--n--n LADIES' LEAGUE The Wrens took two points on Wednesday night to give them a total of 60. The Orioles are giving the Wrens some good competition as they took four points and now have 55. The Canaries also took four points to give them 50. Budgies took two points and have 46 and the Robins and Bluejays were left out again this week and remain at 42 and 35. Guess we'll have to try for the playoffs girls! Dorothy Bain took the high single with a 283 and Shirley Storey had the high triple of 677. 0--0--o THURSDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE Matt's Mceces are zooming ahead witli seven points again this week giving them a total of 90. In second place are Mac's Mules with 81 points. Wayne's Woofers have 79 points and Ian's Idiots took five points for a total of 72 points. In fifth place are flap's Happy 'Tis Show Biz Well, the Oscar nominations are out, and to say many peo- ple (including yours truly) are plenty 'browned off' about the whole mess, would be putting it mildly! There just ain't no jus- tice anymore! When it was an- nounced that Jack Warner had paid an astronomical sum for the film rights of "My Fair Lady,' every young actress in town en- vied Julie Andrews. She had played the heroine Eliza Dolit- tle on the stage and naturally she would re-enact her role on the screen. But Warner had dif- ferent ideas. Julie had never made a movie, her name wouldn't be big box office, and they couldn't afford to lose PLANT PERSONNEL WIN STEAK SUPPERS On Saturday there was a curling match between the plant personnel of Western Foun- dry and the office and manage- ment branch. The office and manage- ment branch consisted of Mur- ray Rae, skip, D. P. Kennedy, third, R. W. Le Van, second and Harry Spry, lead. They were soundly trounced for the steak suppers by the rink skipped by Jack Tervit, with Lee Grove, vice, Ray Walker, second and George Skinn, lead. By Venni Lee money on this project, SoJulie was left sitting and Audrey Hep- burn got the role. Every other studio, wanting to make Warner look silly (and they did) bar- gained for Julie's services. Walt Disney put her in " Mary Poppins", MGM grabbed her for "The Americanization of Emily", 20th Century Fox gave her the starring role in "The Sound of Music" and she is booked for years to come. "My Fair Lady" is making money hand over fist, and Audrey Hepburn is receiving much praise for her performance. But, at Oscar time, she was completely ignored by members of the Academy, and everyone was surprised and peeved. Poor little wronged Julie did receive a nomination for her title role in "Mary Poppins", and now everyone favors her to win. To me, this ain't no fair! Perhaps Jack Warner himself would now admit that he goofed by not giving the role to Julie; she vould have done marvellously. 3ut Hepburn was great, too, and why should she become a vic- tim of public opinion? It wasn't her fault that Jack bypassed Julie. I am not belittling Julie Andrews' talent, nor that of her colleagues who are nominated -- Kim Stanley for "Seance on a Wet Afternoon"; Anne Bancroft for "The Pumpkin Eater" ;Sophia Loren for "Marriage, Italian Belmore Teams Get The Ax in Playoffs BELMORE- Last week proved' to be an unlucky one, when all but one of Belmore's hockey teams lost in their respective semi-final playoff series. The Intermediates, who had won one game and lost one in their series with Gorrie, chalked up their second loss in a 7-5 game on Monday even- ing, in this arena. Scorers for the home team were John New- ans with two goals, and Joe Jeffray, Dennis O'Malley and Bill Jeffray with singles. Gor- rie's goals were scored by John Messon with two, Don Watson, Wayne King, Don Whitfield, Brian Sanderson and Pete Doig. On Wednesday evening the Gorrie team took the best -of - five series when they won their third game 5-3. Their scoring stars were Brian Elliott, Lloyd Gibson, Brian Sanderson and Don Whitfield. Peter Newans scored two goals and Bill Mul- vey got the third for Belmore. In Tuesday evening's games Wroxeter Squirts defeated our lads 7-1, to take that home - and -home (goals -to -count) series, 9-3. Our lone scorer was Brian Woolcock. The Ban- tams gallantly won their game 3-2 but lost their series 14 goals to six. The Pee Wees, in a simi- lar series, lost out 14 goals to seven, even though they won last week's game 4-2. MIDGETS SURVIVE The Midgets are the only team who have survived the rough treatment of their oppo- nents, although playoffs for them only began this week. Last week, in the last game of Gang with 63 points and 56 points for Bill's Boobs. Ian's Idiots got the top hon- ors for the night. Marlene Leedham bowled 242 and 631 for ladies' high single and triple. Men's high single and triple of 348 and 747 were bowled by Ian MacLaurin. their regular season, they and Clifford played a 4-4 tie. Lead scorer was Mac MacLeod with 3 goals, Jim McKague scoring the other. The other teams in the league, Clifford and Tees - water, played on Friday even- ing, to begin the playoffs, Clif- ford winning 5-3. Clifford and Belmore now play a best -of - three series, the first game scheduled for Monday evening, the 8th. The Squirts played an exhibition game in Ripley on Saturday, defeating that team 4-3. Style"; and Debbie Reynolds for "The Unsinkable Molly Brown". But Hepburn should not have been ignored; she helped to make "My Fair Lady"a magical picture. The Oscarshavealways been a, real credit to Hollywood and its performers. But if they don't stop letting personal opin- ion interfere with their decis- ions, and judge acting ability only, people are going to lose interest. My prediction for a winner? It has to be either Stan- ley or Bancroft; my choice is the latter. 0--0--0 Nominations for best actor include Audrey's co-star Rex Harrison for 'MFL'; Richard Bur ton and Peter O'Toole for "Becket" (Burton now has folks on his side, too!); Peter Sellers for "Dr. Strangelove"; and An- thony Quinn for "Zorba the Greek". Rex Harrison has to have the inside track here. 0--0--0 Nominations for best picture went to "My Fair Lady", "Mary Poppins" , "Becket" ," Dr.Strange- 'ove", and "Zorba the Greek". 'Lady' should come out on top here, but again, public opinion may sway the honor to "Mary Poppins". Lady's director, George Cukor, is nominated as best director. He will be com- peting with Peter Glenville of "Becket"; Stanley Kubrick for "Dr.Strangelove"; Robert Stev- enson for "Mary Poppins"; and Michael Cacoyannis for"Zorba the Greek". Among those nom- inated in supporting roles are Agnes Moorehead who now stars in television's 'Bewitched', in "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte" ; Dame Edith Evans foi The Chalk Garden"; Gladis.Cooper for "My Fair Lady"; Edmond O'Brien for "Seven Days in May"; Stanley Holloway for "My Fair Lady"; Peter Ustinov in " Topkaki" ; and Sir John Gielgud in "Becket". Winners will be announced on April 5th in Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, and you can bet that Audrey Hepburn won't be there! Master of ceremonies this year, will be old friend Bob Hope. It will be televised live by ABC-TV and CBC here in Canada. 0--0--0 A top series is now being shown on CBC -TV to replace the English series "Danger Man" which is cancelled for a few weeks due to a writers' strike.
