iectlons that ii comes to mind in daytime reunnlscenee and even occasionally duriné my rcstlessl sleeping hours takes me hack to curlingbottle with the famous GWFIIIDCK rink from Glenlioro It occurred on sheet five at the Granite Club WinnIPeE and the out come meantI greatdeailo both teams as thewinner moved into the provincial Brier finals for the right to go east and repre sent Manitoba The usual bon spiei thaw had moved into Win nipeg that second week in Feb ruary 1935 and had played havoc with the draw Our game had been postponed to when the coolrol the evening wa expected to dry up the surface moisture on the ice But honspiel otiiciais had not foreseen the huge throng that clamored for admittance to the rink before game time When the front door failed to admit the spectators quickly enough hundreds of the more agile members of the crowd made or the windows on the north wall that had been lett open for an other purpose By game time the ramp surrounding the nine sheets of ice was jammed solidly with human bodies generating heat in all directions During the first few ends the playing surface was passable The ice was lair ly keen and the tuna wercnt pulling too much About the sixth end the ice began to swing bit and with each succeeding end Gowanlock and werc liv ing more and more ice for takeouts and draws Each tllne player stepped into the hack he knew more weight was required and ad justed his guess as to how muchaccordingly We entered the home end withlast rock but we were three down and against power hitters like Bung2 Cartmell and the McKnight brothers it looked hopeless By this time young runner was needed for draw weight as the house at the home end was saturated with moisture fdwifast in the rings and Abs boys ing the longsought victory in their grasp started throwing the highhard nose at our AGAIN stones Their rocks dodn like bullets but on the wet ice swuhed hyou theinsideWhen came lo pity my first stone we were lying tour so pulled anothcrr inrfor tiv took aim and fired fairly fast shot that curved past our stouu again but it hit the slush in the rinks and siopped at the back of tlie fourtoot ring as it it were equipped with suction cups tocut out all but two at our Icounters Here was my chance for glory All had to do was move this rock back six inches to snatch victory from certain detest took twa feet at icewith on outturn which Gowanlock usually threw little wlde ol the broom so feltquite certain put all the weight in the shot could with due regard fol accuracy When the stone was hallway thought it was too wide At the front rings it was perfect Three feet from the Gienboro rock it was dead on Then it hit the water and curved past The whole wdrid swam around me as walked eremaiuinz distance to shake ands with Ab and his rink Do you know what remind ed me of this story missed two shots narrowly in my club game last night and both of them went by the opposing stone on the Inside Was light Was narrow Was both light and narrow These questions kept buzzing in my mind until decided that in both cases did not play lull broom Think back for moment it you will Try to recall the take outs you missed last week In how many cases did you go by the insideot the stone you were trying to remove lll wager that 75 per cent of your misses were on the narrow side and whats more if you wereto keep score onthe seasons play this plvportion umiild still hold good This point is so import ant to the average curiers mor ale and it is so prevalent among all players that icannot resist the temptation to devote an other
