We thought the attendance would be much better in To- ronto, even though it turned out to be considerably more than the first year. • The new format of a sev- en -game round robin series for the eight rinks, then straight knockout of semifi- nals and final for the top four finishers in the round robin added tremendous in- terest. This could be an idea for the Canadian Cham- pionhip Brier, but it is not likely to be adopted for awhile yet. uIltllrlllunlutlluui/ui■glIll1uIlIIIilINIuIlIA111511I1 uIiusiInUuitatiaintrui Hill LYCZ!UM SHOWPLACE OF WINGHAM -- PHONE 357-1630 WED: THUR.-FRI. 3 Days JANUARY 20-21-22 "PT 109" CinemaScope - Colour -- Starring: Cliff Robertson and Ty Hardin This is the true story of the war -time experiences of the late President John F.

The young lads were very nervous and this had con- siderable effect on their shotmaking at times. The excitement of this big competition also seemed to make them overanxious and the result was rather fre- quent bad judgement in sweeping, although they were vigorous sweepers when needed. The showing of the Kirk- land Lake rink proved the point made by the Dominion Curling Association when they declared Schoolboy rinks ineligible to compete in the Brier or provincial playdowns for Brier repre- sentation. Competing against the country's most experienced players under tremendous pressure is far too much to expect from these young lads and a few setbacks could discourage their fu- ture curling plans. The unexpected showing of Winnipeg's schoolboy en- try skipped by Terry Braun- stein in the 1958 Brier at Victoria is not likely to hap- pen again. In fact, the DCA has made sure of that. The big prize payoff of $5,- 000. all in merchandise, for the winning rink in this year 's Tournament of Champions added great ten- sion to play throughout the entire bonspiel. And, with but a few exceptions provid- ed some of the finest cur- ling Ontario spectators have seen in a long time. There were not the ice problems such as a year ago and the result was im- proved shotmaking as well as some highly interesting battles of strategy. Unfortunately, we didn't win an of those battles and one in particular I wouldn't recommend you try under similar circumstances, especially in a major com. petition. The point refered to is When I gambled on my last rock against Doug Camp- bell of Charlottetown and lost When 1 may have be- come a little too greedy and sure of myself. The try failed When my own shot stone, which would hai'e tied the game anti forced an extra end, was tapped out 18/*ZWII COMMERCIAL LEAGUE Ah, met This throwing three bowls is for the birds. I guess Maxine, Dot Bain and a few others, including yours truly, are going to have to do some- thing about it. Anyone for a good game of checkers? Or, how be we try for a booby prize? Anyone offering one? Shirley Storey kept all the honors for herself tonight, bowl- ing a 292 for high single and 757 for high triple. George Cameron, after letting his wife beat him in the first two games, came up with the high single of 271. He shared the honors with Jim Bain, who bowled 694 for the high triple. Team standings: Lions 78.; Seals 75; Wildcats 62; Cougars 48; Tigers 46; Beavers 42. Our thanks to Hilda Brown, Ev Rapson and Jack Walker for helping us out. Again, on behalf of the League, our very best wishes go to Ernie Walker, Morris Swan- son and Joe Schneider, who celebrate birthdays this week. 0--0--0 WEDNESDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE Hooray and Whoopee and all that stuff; the Larks finally did it. We took all seven points last week and although we're still in last place, it seems we might catch up a little. As for the men's high single and triple, Ken lost out to his teammate, Bob Angus, who had a very nice. 295 single and a 745 triple. For the women, Marion Maclntyre took the honors with a 254 sin- gle and a 616 triple. The Kats have moved well out in front with 71 followed by the Tigers with 59; Packers 54; Hawks 47; Rovers 37 and the Larks 26. Special thanks to Sonny and Ruth Shropshall, Bill Johnston and Sharon Riley for theirhelp. 0--0--0 THURSDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE Captain Hap Swatridge of Hap's Happy Gang bowled 358 and 919 for men's high single and triple. Terrific bowling, Hap. Spare, Hilda Brown bowl- ed 285 for ladies' high single • with Gwen MacLaurin bowling 729 for ladies' high triple.. Team standings are: Wayne s Woofers 62; Mac's Mules 56; Ian's Idiots 55; Matt's Meeces 45; Hap's Happy Gang 42 and Bill's Boobs 34. o--o--o LADIES' LEAGUE The Wrens took two points on Wednesday night and are now up to 42. The rest of us are sticking pretty close, as the Orioles have 35 points, the Budgies and Canaries 34, the Robins 33 and the Bluejays 26. High single went to Gwen MacLaurin with a 296 and also the high triple of 766. and left Cameron a winner 5-3. There was a chance to make the shot but it was more difficult than we thought. Had the gamble worked and the shot come off as intended we would have counted the two shots necessary to pull out a win. I figured that had we ac- cepted the single shot to tie, Cameron would still have a big advantage of last rock on the extra end. In my mind the gamble was worth taking at that stage of the round robin (it was in the third draw) but I am not sure it would hap- pen again should a similar situation arise. We certainly would not advise it for the average curler. Do you have a question on curling? Send thele to Ernie Richardson, tare of this newspaper.
