Many times one big end, even a three or four, turns out to be like a million in an otherwise close game, especially when your rink is on target at both draw and takeout weight. There are times, too, when even a two is enough to make the difference be- tween victory and defeat. if scored early and all other counts by both sides are singles. There are gener- ally some blank ends in this type of game, and a two would be most vain - able. An interesting feature of curling is that in competi- tion among the country's top shooters and in impor- tant events you generally find the games go right down to the wire—or rather the last stone of the final end. It just seems to work out that way with top- ranking players on well - matched rinks. It becomes like a pitcher's battle in baseball. Curling can also be liken- ed to hockey, football and other games where a strong defensive play sometimes pays off, sort of waiting for the other fellow to make a mistake, then taking advan- tage.

Carol Burnett just about steals the picture with several of her near -slapstick scenes. You'll really laugh at this one. to avoid making errors of your own. One of the most common mistakes is "counting your chickens" as the saying goes, in a match against a weak rink. This can be a setup for an upset. Using such a situation as a chance to ease up can be danger- ous and frequently the shock of such an upset can last for another game or two. Any ordinary rink can beat the champions on any given day, though it gener- ally happens only once in the same event. It has hap pened many times where Canada's leading rinks are involved, and as recently as the 1964 Brier at Char- lottetown. DISAPPOINTING At the other extreme you sometimes find that the clash between two out- standing teams can be a one-sided flop. This be- comes as disappointing for both rinks as it does for spectators. It happens to the best of teams at times. One such incident in which our team was in- volved was the playoff in the 1962 Canadian Cham- pionship Brier in Kitchener when we met big Hector Gervais for the title. The one-sided margin, fortu- nately was in our favor. We could do nothing wrong and were at the peak of our game, while it was the reverse with Hector who just couldn't get a break no matter what he tried. We won with ease and this removed a tremen- dous amount of pressure TR I -COUNTY CHAMPS—Belgrave Bantam hockey team won the J.A.

The boys were reminded of the Father and Son banquet which will be held April lth at the Wingham District High School. The invitations must from the final playoff. Unfortunately, however, the Richardsons also know how it feels to have been on the other end of a one- sided match and it can prove quite embarrassing. You might be disappointed by a one-sided defeat, but you should never he dis- couraged. activities., be signed by the fathers and handed in to the leaders as soon as possible. The cubs were urged to get busy on their models and displays which will be shown to the parents on banquet night. The leaders each took a group of boys and instructed them in various aspects of 1st and 2nd star work.
