Most teams are satisfied with an eight end game hut Jack Keilough and\ associates prefer nine or even ten ends a week. For the third time in four weeks the union foursome became entangled in an extra end encounter. Their opponent this time was the Hospital No. 1 team defending their perfect record. In the extra end, the coolness of veteran curlers Ron Klages and Tom Jasper proved to be the deciding factor as the Hospital unit squeaked -by last year's champ, 7 - 6. Second place is shared by four teams that have lost only one match. The Maitland Golfers recorded an unusual shut- out victory over a totally luckless Victoria Sweepers squad.

This was the most ex- citing game of the evening as the final result remained in doubt until the last rocks of the game. The Assessment Office was inspired by the spirit of Sue Ritchie and the calm efficiency of Dennis Lebrun while the losing teacher unit got similar performances from Elaine Bertram and Ron Tichie. The game between the GDCI No. 1 team and the A.M.G. Hospital No. 2 team was a very close affair until the fifth end. In that end, the teachers scored four big points behind an almost perfect team effort that produced seven excellent shots and went on to record a misleading 13 - 4 final score. It is becoming clear that the GDCI Teacher No. 2 team is going to challenge their colleagues of the number one team for top billing. They recorded their third victory with an im- pressive win over the very talented Huron County Health Unit. A shaky start for Victoria and Grey quickly put them down by six after only two ends and the ever -improving Oom Club refused to fold in the later ends as they claimed their second win in a row 10 - 3.
