40 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, February 23, 1897 By AL VICKERY Press Staff W) Canadian riter WINNIPEG (CP)--A dramatic, last-rock, takeout-and-stick shot by 17-year-old skip Ian Johnston gave Ontario an 8-7 victory over North- ern Ontario eariy today in a sud- den-death playoff for the Dom jog high school curling champion- ship. After a see-saw battle for eight erds in which each rink scored seven points, Johnston deliberately planked the ninth end to give him lost rock coming home. The gamble paid off but Johnston could well have been the goat as Carl Konefal"s Port -Arthur foursome curled beautifully on the 10th and final end. The northerners got shot stone on the 12-foot ring and almost had pear-perfect protection on Kone- fal's guard from his last shot. All |ttat was left was a narrow port from an out-turn shot. But that was enough for Johnston, who drew through cleanly--with good sweeping from his mates--and hit dead on and stuck. LOST LAST YEAR It was a heart-breaking loss for Northern Ontario, who lost a_sim- far playoff last year to Sask- atchewan on a cold draw by skip Bob Hawkins of Regina on his f'nal rock. Northern Ontario was represented by Wayne Petch of Kirkland Lake in 1956, The playoff between the two On- tario rinks was forced when Kone- fal suffered his second defeat of the regular nine rounds. by a 11-8 count to British Columbia. John- ston, beaten Thursday morning by New Brunswick. moved back into a first-place tie by downing Nova in-|Scotia 6-3 on the final draw. The playoff started at 10:30 p.m. and wound up about 1:24 a.m, today. Johnston received solid support trom his third. Mike Jackson, 18, second Dave Robinson, 18, and lead Peter Galsworthy, 17. All 1our made miscues but also came up with some brilliant shots. The rink was presented with the Sifton Trophy and rose bowls by the donor, Victor Sifton. publisher of rhe Winnipeg Free Press. The losing quartet--19-year-old skip Konefal, third Jim Sargent, 19, second Sandy Sargent. 15, and lead Bob Cressman 16--received rose bowls trom Mrs. Sifton. WENT ONE UP Ontario went one up on the first end. Northern Ontario came back a single on the third when John- ston failed to stay in the house on bis last rock. pulled Johnston in for a two count 21d a tie on the fourth.
