Another Perfect End • During the last couple of weeks we have mentioned that only two eight enders have been achieved since the Exeter curling club was established. Bill Mickle started refreshing minds when he pulled off this once -}n -a -lifetime feat .this winter. At that time we thought the only other eight ender was put together by Clarence Down's rink. Now we find out, that Art Cann and hismixed rink did the same trick back in the early 1970's. Other members of the Cann rink were Alvin Pym, Betty Coates and the late Helen Jermyn. For Those That Didn't Get Away Molsons Brewery are again sponsoring their annual fishing contest with prizes totalling $35,000. This event heading for its 24th year is held in association with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. The rules for the contest are simple. The main stipula- tion is go out and catch a big fish. There are weight standards for the 10 classes of fish and in each case they are well below the mark of the largest fish ever caught and quite conceivably can be landed in many parts of Ontario. For example, the standard weight for a northern pike is 15 pounds while tlIe record is 40 pounds on one caught •in 1966. Last year's winner in the muskie division weighed 55 pounds and set a record in that department. Actually there were two that tipped the scales at 55 pounds, but, one was more than an inch longer than the other. Getting back to more reasonable catches, the stan- dards for largemouth and smallmouth bass are five and four pounds, respectively and the records are 10 pounds, seven ounces and 11 pounds, eight ounces.
