ATCH HE YOULl MAKE As mostcurlcrs know the fine spray of water sprinkled on the ice prior to each game provides the pebble that puts the curl in curling andvirtually lifts the stones of the flat ice surface so that they ride more easily How ever it is thisselfrbame pebble that creates many conundrums that make curling the fascinat ing nd unpredictable game that it is As the crests of the pebble are worn off by the passage of rocks over them and after end there are two inevitable results The stone curls more as the pebble wears down because the cup or running level The ice becomes keener as the frozen drops of the pre game water sprinkle are grad ually ground smoother by many rockscurling up anddown the ice Today we are concerned with the second of these ef fects The problem for both the curler and the skip is What has the wearing of the pebble to do with draw weight and how do go about judging the difference in weight rcqulred Let me lllnstrate by reference to game in which had the pleasure of playing against one of 18 rinks of Americans from Minnesota and Wiscon sin that visited Winnipeg on friendly excursion las December My lead with whom had never previously curled caution ed me before the game that he was southpaw and favored the inturn Being in an obliging frame of mind gave him noth ing but his favorite turn The opposing skip young lad from Minnesota followed by giving his number one man the same turn on the saint side of the sheet After six ends had been plaY ed the pebble was wornvthin on the lefthand side of the sheet of in going awayfrom and coming to the

ice for righthanders became excep tionally keen at both ends and as long as draw shots were call ed for on the keen ice every thing was hunkydory But on the sixth end strat egy callcdfor Inc to play

stone would be negotiating seldom uschce and my tempted draw stopped inst over the hog line The op posing skip should have scored three because of my abscntmindcdness The fact that we escaped the penalty of this miscalculation serves only as an object lesson for thoge who might be less for tunatc The wearing not etched on the ice for play ers and skip to see But the paths worn by the stones should he and in important competition must be engraved on the mem ory in such indelible fashion that it can be recalled when the oc casion warrants The crazy patchwork of pan bolalike lines over which the fiveinch cups of the stones have passed is course in memory training itself and must be con centrated on by the player in the hack andthe skip on the tee For the average hurling teams the pattern of keen ice takes the shape of long slender hour glass on the sheet becausethc players usually draw from the centre to the outside but for the top strategists the mosaic spreads itself into more intri cate vwcave Whoever it might be and whatever class of curling competition is lnvolveduthc quandary ofhovf much weight will he forever present Seldom do two draw shots require the same weight unless their paths traverse identically curved lines There are few simpleax ioms that might be kept in mind but let me warn you that there are more excel tions than the rule Wide outside ice requires more weight Backup turns need less weight Wide swinging turnsusv ually need more weight because the stone travels agreater dis tance The morerocks travelling over the same course the keener
