CURLING CAPSULES By Ernie Richardson In the previous article we dealt with the lead and sec- ond, or front end players. Now we move to the third spot and look at what a skip should expect from a third, or vice -skip as he is termed in some parts of Eastern Canada, and as mate in the Maritimes. No matter by what name his position is described the third is an extremely im- portant man and his duties are exacting and varied. The third man theme is that he must be able to make al- most every type of shot in the curling book. He is also expected to be skilful enough as a strategist to help the skip solve difficult problems. Among the duties of a third is to be able to make the shots that clear the way for the skip. In some cases, early in the game, these shots can be in the nature of experimental pr o b i n g to gain valuable knowledge of the ice for later shots. Most thirds are expected to be good cleanup men who keep the house open for the skip's shots, particularly when your team has last stone on the end. A good cleanup man can make life much easier for the skip. Third players should also be able to make a straight hit, a simple draw, a guard or raise, or draw behind a front stone that is either in the house, or out in front. Ile should also be accurate enough in hitting, and sure enough on the broom to make double takeouts. Oth- er qualifications are that he should be a good sweeper and an excellent judge of weight. The third must be a good houseman when the skip is playing his shots. He needs to be quick to call the sweeping on, or off, and should be able to read the ice and convey the informa- tion to the skip. It helps considerably if each man on the team is ca- pable of reading the ice since it is much easier to make good shots when you are familiar with the tricks of the ice and its general condition. One of the essential attri- butes of a good third is that he be a steady curler in the key situations. A clutch shooter with the ability to make the big shots when the pressure is greatest. Many thirds who are ex- pert shotmakers, fine strategists, good judges of ice and sweeping and would generally prove good skips, prefer to remain as third players. These are sometimes cases where playing the last stones with the responsibili- ty of the team on their shoulders is too great a pressure on third players and they just can't make the same shots they normal- ly make in the third posi- tion, Such players are more valuable to a team as thirds, where their shot- making ability and confi- dence in snaking key shots is of great importance. This is one of the peculiarities that appear in all sports. It takes a player of highly varied curling skill to be a qualified third in champion- ship competition. WEDNESDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE The men's high single and triple were taken by Bob Angus with 268 and 705. For the ladies, Gwen MacLaurin took the high single with 243 and the triple went to Marilyn Lockridge with a 595. The ICats now have 96; Ti- gers 77; Packers 74; Rovers 63; Hawks 61; and the Larks 49. Special thanks to Carl Lott, Donald Rintoul, Dorothy Cam- eron, Gwen MacLaurin, Mari- lyn Lockridge, Mike Newton and Dave Crothers for their efforts on our behalf. 0--0--0 COMMERCIAL LEAGUE The Cougars went all out tonight and bowled especially for Merv. They came up with six points to add to their 75, but are still in fourth place. Jim Deneau, who spares in Merv's place, really came up with a good game, bowling a 321. However, Gary Storey de- cided enough was enough, and he bowled a beautiful 332 to take the men's high single. Not being content with that, he also took the men's high triple with 791. Nice bowling, Gary! Agnes Cameron took the ladies' high single with 240 and Helen Casemore the high triple with 584. Team standings: Lions 108; Seals 95; Wildcats 82; Cougars 81; Tigers 75; Beavers 60. Jim Deneau, Helen Case - more and Joan Yeoman were our spares for the night. Maybe one of these times, it will not be snowing, raining or freezing and may even be a nice spring evening to sort of make up for asking our ever reliable spares to come out on those "snow - belt" nights. Just a reminder. Four more regular games left. 0--0--0 LADIES' LEAGUE Well, it looks as if the Orioles are really trying to catch up to the Wrens as the Wrens ended up with 58 points this week and the Orioles had 51. The rest of us seem to be left out of the race. The Can- aries have 46 points, the Budg- ies 44, Robins 42 and Bluejays 35. High single went to Hilda Brown with 284 and Hilda also took the high triple with 674, 0--0--0 TIIURSDAY NIGIIT MIXED LEAGUE Matt's Meeces a re top team now, with a total of 83 points.

The Ontario Safety League claims that anyone who can af- ford to ski cannot afford to be without the proper equipment and clothing. Light, windproof outer garments and insulated or woollen undergarments are re- commended. Two pairs of socks are better than one. A light pair of wool or nylon socks is suggested next to the feet and a pair of heavier woollen socks outside. This gives greater warmth and provides a comfort- able cushion. And take along an extra woollen shirt orsweat- er to put under your parka on the bitterly cold days. Shatterproof sun or snow gog- gles, as they are sometimes called, are a necessity for any- one who is skiing for any length of time in bright sunlight, par- ticularly on new fallen snow. Even on some cloudy days, light reflection can be annoy- ing and even painful to the eyes, so it is advisable to take along goggles on all ski trips. There is one small piece of equipment which most ski re- sort operators insist upon being used, and that is the safety strap. A run away ski can be- come a real menace, so be sure your safety straps are in good condition, and fastened whenever you are out on the hills. Another piece of important ly perk up. In third place, Mac's Mules have 74 points and next in line are Ian's Idiots with 67. Hap's Happy Gang have 61 points. Bill's Boobs are in sixth place with 56 points. Spare, Ruth Tiffin bowled 283 and 695 for ladies' high single and triple. Hap Swat - ridge and Ian MacLaurin tied with 285 for men's high single. Bill Edwards bowled 743 for men's high triple. Despite the snow storm the majority was able to make it to the bowling alley, with hopes that next week will bring better weather. safety equipment for your own protection is a release binding. Cheek the adjustment on your harness several times during the day to be sure the tension. is right for easy release. This can make all the difference between a safe fall or one that leaves you incapacitated for the rest of the skiing season. And now that you are pro- perly equipped, follow the example of the experts, always ski under control. Aux.
