This year's Canadian Brier curling championships
which were held at the London Gardens provided the most
exciting finish anyone could wish especially with CBC
television cameras grinding out the live action.
In many of the recent years, the champions have been
v; declared long before the final draw which takes much of the
excitement away from the TV presentation,
This was not the case Saturday as the final outcome was
not decided until the final end and the final rocks. Until the
last rocks were thrown a two way tie or even a three-way
deadlock was possible.
We were fortunate enough to take in one of the sessions
during the week, It was the Thursday afternoon draw and in
this one you couldn't call it a Newfie joke but one on On-
e tario.
In a game which looked as if neither rink really wanted
to win, the Newfoundland rink won on an extra end when On-
' tario's skip Paul Savage threw his last rock through the
- house when a good draw would have given him a victory.
f' This loss put Savage and his Ontario group completely , out of contention but it was actually the last time he lost.
The young Toronto salesman came on strong in the 'last
three draws and poited wins against the three top con-
, tenders.
It was a victory by Ontario over Alberta Friday which
kept Quebec and Saskatchewan in contention and then
Savage edged Saskatchewan Saturday afternoon and allow-
ed Hec Gervais and his Albertans to take the championship
home.
Gervais has to be the ultimate in coolness. He never
changes his poge whether he has a big lead in a game or is
deliberating an important shot in a tight game. He stands
with the broom in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
with a thumb hoOked into a pants pocket.
While the .chips' eren't quite down yet in Thursday's
play, the action was exciting and in the latter stages of the
draw one needed his head almost on a swivel to catch all the
action. Two of the games went into extra ends.
At the time when Gervais scored three on the seventh
-end to take a 7-3 lead over Nova Scotia we agreed with the
fellow in the next seat when he said, "that probably won the
Brier for Hec."
When this was said, Newfoundland had a big lead over
Ontario and no one envisioned Savage coming back to be a
real spoiler against the three contenders.
We will just leave play in the Brier for a moment to talk
, about the fellow in the next seat to us. He arrived just after
we did, about an hour before game time and after opening
chit chat we asked where he was from.
His answer was Ottawa and in turn to his question said
we came from about 30 miles north of London. To this he
replied, "that must be close to where I was born." You
guessed it he was born in Exeter and is Russell Passmore.
Russ is currently president of one of the curling clubs in
Ottawa and came to London Thursday to take in the balance
otthe Brier. He said he expected to drive to Exeter Friday
morning' to visit relatives' and renew acquaintances. It's a

*A e ,
tmg ,garne, involving Alberta, once Ger-,
v 'Oat:up a fiiiir,?point lead ther‘yvas_no way he was.go?
ing to be caught. He had his lead throw the first rock
through the house and never allowed any score to build,up.
Another thing that impressed us was the way the skips
kept the garries going with very little time spent in deciding
which type of shot to use. Only in the 12th and 13th ends did
the rinks go into any conferences.
, Barry Shearer the Nova Scotia skip actually ran back
from the house to the hack to throw his rocks,
All in all it was an exciting Brier and the London and St.
Thomas committees are to be commended in their excellent
organization and in providing top notch ice. Add to this the
large, enthusiastic crowds which included many from Ex-
eter and other area curling clubs.
The total attendance was in excess of 48,000 which
means the average attendance for the 11 draws was over 4,-
300. That's tremendous support and is the best ever received
in Eastern Canada.
An interesting rule experiment
A rule changed proposed over the weekend by the On-
tario fastball league could prove to be very interesting.
The popular ball loop which includes the London Dukes
will in exhibition play allow a batter to take first base when
he has received three balls from the pitcher instead of the
normal four.
This should give an advantage to the team at bat and in
turn produce more runs. Up to this time, the majority of
games in this league produced very few runs with the /
pitchers seeming to have the upper hand.
In addition to the possibility of more bases on balls, it
will probably induce more hits as the pitchers in attempting
to stay away from the easier walk will serve up better
pitches.
We will have to see how this works out in actual games
before passing an opinion. One of the things we liked about -
this type of fastball was the fact the games moved very
quickly and were usually over in a little more than an hour.
This should lengthen the games a bit.
Play between two leagues.
We read with interest in the current edition of Hockey
News of the exhibition hockey games planned this fall
between teams in the National Hockey league and the World.
Hockey Association.
Despite comments by Allan Eagleson of the
players association that the move is the first step towards a
merger, presidents of both leagues insist it is only a step
towards peaceful co-existence between the two groups.
Taking a quick look at the schedule we can see several
interesting games developing. Providing close competition
should be the Atlanta Flames and Winnipeg Jets and the St.
Louis Blues and Houston Aeros.
The Toronto Maple Leafs get to play the WHA's newest
expansion team from Indianapolis and the Toronto Toros
meet the Minnesota North Stars.
While talking about the WHA, their rule makers have
come up with another change, For the balance of this season
international offsides will be eliminated,
The face-offs will be right outside the blueline where the
infraction occurred regardless of who caused it or if it was
intentional or *not. This sounds like a good move in
speeding up the games,.
