If the loCal curling experts
had been asked to pick a
winner at the $200. cash ban-
spiel held here on Friday and
Saturday, there is little chance
they'd have hit upon Dave Corn-
ish's rink.
As tne organizer of the bon-
spiel, Cornish was in a tight
spot Friday when he discovered
that due to a late cancellation,he
was short an entry for the event.
• He arrived at the curlingi,
club Friday night in time to
round up 'four curlers who
agreed to make up a fill-in
rink for the Friday night game,
providing they would be re-
placed on the Saturday draws.
Then came the second dis-
appointment. A local entry
turned up with only two curlers,
so, Cornish agreed to skip the
rink for Elgin Cox and Ken
Forbes.
Harold Pryce, proved to be
the 'man on the spot' and he
was substituted as vice-skip.
The rest of the story,which
has been the talk of the Curling
Club this•week, is almost legend;
Cornish skipped his rink to
a slim 8 - 6 win over the fill-in
rink in the first game. The fill-
in was skipped by Duff Thompson
of Clinton.
Then on Saturday morning his
rink coasted to a 9 - 4 win over
Jack MacDoriald's Brussels rink
after counting a four-ender early
in the game.
On Saturday afternoon, the
two 2-game winners met head-
on to decide who would be playing
for the big money.
This time Lee Learn's Exeter
rink provided the opposition and'
very nearly too much of it.
Cornish was down 6 - 5 going
into the 7th end when a draw
shot to the four-foot circle
brought the score to a 6-6 tie.
On the final end, Learn had
last shot and he elected to draw
rather than take-out Cornish's
rock which was just touching
the 8-foot circle. Learn overshot
and Cornish won by a 7 - 6
score.
Then came the play-offs.
Jim Hewitt's Exeter rink was
the three-game winner in the
early draw and his,ripk was one
of those' which spectators ex-
pected to see in the finals.
Hewitt won his opening game
11 - 6 against Herb Pocock of
Goderich. He edged George
Mutter of Brussels 8 - 7 in 9-
ends for his second win.
For the third win he beat one
of Ontario's best rinks, the Ken
Buchan rink from London, '7 -4.
There was much speculation
among the gallery of spectators
about what would happen when
Hewitt and Cornish met iri the
final Saturday night.
While Cornish'S rink was up
for this contest, they weren't---
exactly bubbling with confidence.
But, more imp ortant they were
curling at their best.
They opened the play-off with
a four-ender in the very first
end and the n posted an. identical
count in the fifth end. In between
time they picked up a single point
to the 3rd. end.
While Hewitt's rink wasn't
out of the picture altogether, they
were taken a little aback at the
fashion in which Cornish's rink

MINOR HOCKEY ROUND-UP

publicity or support at the gate.
However, this week, we received our first up-to-date

teams with good solid opposition as well as sportsmanship.

of the season in Goderich. Their next contest was on home
lee and they came out on top of a 2 - 0 decision over Hensall.
In their third game they downed Clinton 4-1. Once again it
was Goderich who put the Peewees down. They beat them 5-1
