Such a thing happened to the Bolan family on the tenth night of Industrial League Curling. Both Sylvia and Jim are skips; both were involved in extra end games,.; one won; one lost. The Champion Girls team are on a hot streak. Their second victim in a row was the GDCI Vikings but it took an exciting extra end as Marg Debolt and Sylvia Bolan made superb shots in the eighth end to sit cu.r���in�,.� a ,....._ the cumulated Luin- with two shot. rocks manding 6-Q lead after leaving Viking skip Dave four ends but a brilliantly Cloet with a very difficult executed eighth end shot. Cloet's fine shot reduced the Girls' count to one but the game was tied. On the extra end Bolan made her final shot and ,had to watch helplessly as Cloet at- tempted his final shot. Cloet's shot missed by inches and the thrill of a 6-5 overtime victory belonged to Bolan and the Champion Girls. Right next to this contest, the Champion Office was fighting it out with the Victoria resulted in four big points for Ron Ritchie and the Victoria Teachers. Jim Bolan, however, ap- peared to crush the Teacher comeback at- tempt in the next end as he made two outstanding shots to score two and take a four point. lead with only two ends to.go.

Jim hit the shot rock but rolled a feW inches too far and had to experience the agony of a tough 9-8 loss. These two excellent matches share the game of the week honours. Another close contest took place as the Assessment Office defeated the AM&G Hospital No. 1 team by the score of 5-4. Sue Ritchie and Cam MacDonald led the way for the victors as they constantly began the end with exact shots allowing Jim Bell and Dennis Lebrun some choice in Chess club toplayKincar'dine-- The big- news this -week is that the return match against the Kincardine Chess Club has been set for Wednesday Jan. 31. The first match ended in a draw. The competition in this match should once again be very intense. The other big news this week is that Louis Stadelmann came up with three big wins to once again take over first place • from Charlie MacDonald, who was absent. Louis has a 18 - 1 record to Charlie's 17 - 1 mark. Jim Kingsley won three games also last week. But even though Jim 'has his best year going with an ,821 win -loss percentage it ,is not good enough to make Level 1. Brian Miller holds down the last first level position with - only one loss in 21 games! Also in Level 2 play Darrell Clutton increased his win -loss mark by five points to move a little closer ' to Bob Dick in second place. Bob Fit- zjames is still keeping up his hot pace winning two of three games to move a little closer CO' Kirk Lyndon. The highlight in Level 3 play was Barry Page's game in which he picked up a victory against a Level 1 player. Barry's percentage, increased by nine points to strengthen his hold on Level 3. Owen Moriarty gained two victories to take over the lead in Level 4 play while Mark Russell°also picked up a win to move up to fourth place. .. The most improved player race is coming down to a two man affair. Bob Fitzjames leads with a remarkable im- provement of 328 points but is followed Closely by Steve Harding who is up by 304 points. The standings as of Jan. 24 are as follows: LEVEL 1: Louis Stadelmann with 18 wins and 1 loss for .947 per- centage; Chas.

Dennis Miskie had an out- standing evening for the losers while Peter Bergin is always noteworthy when he is on the ice or anywhere else for that matter. It was the Mitchelmore not quite as consisten�Jas family's turn to face thethe seconds, Donna Doidge and Elementary -- skip Mary Lu Taylor, alsd made some precision shots. The Goderich Legion foursome of Bill Duncan, Torn Eadie, Phil Turner and Gerry Walter had its best game of the season as they whipped the AM&G Hospital No. 2 team 9-2. Hospitalites Dawn Westbrook and distracting Jennifer Matthews had _ good games for the unlucky Hospital unit but the fine team effort of the Legion men plus' some timely takeckuts. by To.m .Ea -die spelled defeat for the constantly spirited group from AM&G. Pete Crew's herculean efforts resulted in Vic- toria and Grey fielding, a team despite the absence of seventy-five per cent of their regular team. In addition, Pete's "crew" performed well' against one of the league's strongest teams, the Huron Health Unit. In fact, V&G had Jack MacKinnon and company worried in.the early ends with the score 3-2. Laurie Ginn and Don Hullah, however, began to curl very well and the Health Unit pulled steadily away and finally recorded a 14- 2 decision. Pete Crew and Patty Denomme had fine games in a losing effort while Phil Paquette was the Health Units most consistent curler. 4. The most exciting match up of the game was the,battle between the secnds of each team. Diane Budnark and Doug Bundy each curled ex- ceptionally strong games for their teams. Although fiercesome Forester foursome and the result was almost predictable. The Foresters won 9-4. The winners needed to be sharp, however, as Del and Don Mitchelmore both curled well but were just unable .to build the big end. Ralph Foster and Cam Bogie were stan- douts for the undefeated Forester contingent. Strong sweeping and accurate shooting are the trademarks of Tom Profit and Charlie Crawford and they, were particularly sharp on the tenth- -night--of-e-ui i -ng a -s they led Local 1863 to a decisive 15-2 win over the Champion Sales Office. Novice skip Don Kent later remarked that it was very difficult for three new curlers like himself and Helen MacDonald and Pete Wanner to keep up with the experienced and talented union quartet. Never fear Don, some of the most experienced teams in our league, have had worse nights against the combination of Profit, Crawford, Falkiner and Kellough. One such team was the GDCI • Teachers in last year's championship game. Last Thursday night, however, the GDCI foursome enjoyed a successful night as they overcame the efforts of their colleagues the Elementary Teachers 12 - COME OUT AND ENJOY ONTARIO'S FASTEST GROWING SPORT IN SEAFORTH LEAGUE ROOMBALL TOURNAMENT AT THE ARENA For Both Men and Women February 2, 3, 4, 1979 Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies Ladies .
