SPORTS TYPE By STEVE JONESCU Sports Editor VCURLIM curdROVERSY Almost everyone whos gone to Kitchener to Iwatch part or all of the Canadian CurlingChamp onships has different opinion of how things are going One party insists the curling is not so hot lot 30f shots are missed This is the party that would add that too many stones are cluttering the house Evtd ence of this was shown in the many pictures sent out from the competition Another party insists the curling is the greatest They just dont leave anything alive in or in front of the house these parties claim From what read and hear the men who curl ed in the 1962 edition of the championships must have returned to the human race Greatest evidence of same is in the team standing You know there was the clean sweep It means that more rinks are curling better or iniore are curling not sohot Competition was much keener Fewer big ends were blown feel the differences in opinion are simple Not everyone watched the same games Not everyone watched the same angles Not everyone plays the game the same way And most important Not every one saw the games on the same day regardless of angle etc All were unanimous in their gripes It was express ed that the point of imported westerners representing fan eastern province was just no good In that way all 10 provinces are not truly represented Saskatchewan for example could be represented by two provinces ie Saskatchewan and Ontario In the same light imported curlers are considered professionals Curling is supposed to be strictly am ateur game That is why the value of prizes at bon Spiels was cut few years ago In Ontario at least this shows how vague my knowledge of the order is one cannot win an automo bile Out west autos used to be the order of the day as normal as winning pillow at local spiel Curling is getting so big that restrictions are needed to keep it on an amateur plane So big also brings controversy It also takes it out of the social class JUST

but missed the not Its said that the good goal tender have luck on their side Henry was great SCORE FIRST As in all but one of the games Chevles were first on the score board Arnold Smith put the hosts oneup on breakaway from centre ice minute later and still before the midway mark In the period Gerry Mc Bride who worked like beaver all night scored off clearing pass from Ray Gsrlepy Chevies drew two of the three penalties In the opener hut Fai cons could take no advantage of the gifts BREAKAWAY Chevlea won the game in the mlddle frame scoring three un answered tallics to take comlt manding 41 lead Ray Wheeler Barney Walmsley and Don Brninard counted the goals Two of them came on broakaways not so much because the Barrie defence was playing up too much but because the Barrie boys seemed to feel the effects of tho first period Theyd play ed themselves right into the ice Again Barrle had the man ad vantage twice and failed to ca pitalize Insteadone of Mea fords markers came while it was shurthanded The clubs alternated markers in the third period but It wasnt enough Barrie scored first with Bob Garner tipping in shot by Jim Cairns Kay Parker made it 52 for Meaford on

ser ies Anyone whod blame him for the series loss would have to be nuts Not so surprising in the game was the lack of body contact Chevies at the start wanted to play defensive game Falcons wouldnt let them but forced them Falcons avoided too much checking for it seemed fear of penalties This didnt work an the score sheet The series and season In over for Barrio One observation would be that If all of the guys would have given their all from the first game it could have been different Falcons were minus Howard Forbes who sat out with sev ered tendon In hls hand Don Graves was dressed but
