Reg. Stone and his cool, middle-aged rink of experts, disposed of Bayne Secord and the Ontario rink last night in one of those story-book finishes, an extra-end 8-6 "squeaker" that could have gone either way -- but didn't. Now we find, as they enter the last day of scheduled draws, that the four Western provinces, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are all deadlocked -- with two defeats apiece. Either British Columbia or Manitoba has "got to go"'-- since they are scheduled to clash in the final 11th round, this afternoon. But the winner will likely still be tied with both Alberta and Saskatchewan, barring another big upset. Northern Ontario handed the British Columbia rink a killing blow yesterday but Stone and his men came back to beat Ontario and so keep their hopes alive. THEY FIGURE they'll have at least 6,000 in Kitchener Auditorium today, As far as we could figure it out last night, judging by those known to be there, there are over a hundred Oshawa curling enthusiasts in Kitchener for the final show today, including of course a party of 50 GM employees making their annual trek to the K-W Granite Curling Club today. All roads will lead to the Auditorium for tonight's extra game, assuming there will be one -- and this is one year that being an active curler will not have nearly as much appeal for the GM curlers as being on hand to see the Canadian curling crown decided..
