In fact many skips make it somnd like an emphatic order, rather than a request. Although sweeping and its value is one of the highly controversial points in the ed without it there would no game of curling. Sweeping not only has an effect on the progress of a stone, but also exerts a psy- chological influence on the game and players. Apart from any theory in- volved, the vigorous sweeping of a rock from one end of! the fice to the other, to see it come to rest right at the point in- tended, makes the sweepers feel they have been a big help on the shot. Knowing the effect of good sweeping can also give a player increased confidence, especially when he has ibeen a part of previous successful shots through his own good sweeping. SKILLFUL sweeping is not a thing that can be masfered overnight. There is a distinct knack to proper sweeping; and the balance necessary to go with it. On your first effart of co-ordinating the broom and your feet, you will find that the stone seems to be out- Tunning you. Sweeping, especially with the. Canadian type broom, in- volves close co-operation of arm and leg muscles plus steady balance. Swemping properly can also prowe a beneficial exercise. Curlers differ in 'their method of gripping the broom. Many prefer to have the Yower hand palm up on the handle, while others feel more com- fortable with a palm down grip. , The palm up grip appears to give better results, cially when you sweep with your feet just behind, or even, with the stone. I would advise you to give espe- | both methods a try, then adopt the one that gives the best results and comes easiest for you. When learning the art of Sweeping, start without mov- ing the feet. Practise the back and forth movement of. the broom while standing still. WHEN YOU GET the rhythm of the beat of the broom, it is like music, and you'll start your feet moving in a natural manner in order to keep balance. The sweeping stroke, can be |practised anywhere, and not only on ice. The motion in following the rock while sweeping is a shuffling action in which the rear foot slides up to the lead- ing foot, then as the weight is transferred slightly, the lead- ing foot slides forward again. Let the motion come through practice and a relaxing shuffle. IF YOU ARE _ left-handed you should sweep on the right side of the rock, and on the left side if a / right-handed sweeper. Crouch slightly with the leading foot forward. Once the natural rhythm of the move is evident and con- fidence arrives, you are on your way to becoming a good sweeper. SINKS BIRDIE ON TEE SHOT TAMPA, Fla. (AP)--Gol- fer Mike McGuire of Tampa got a birdie on his tee shot, which--if you're a golf buff --is pretty hard to figure. McGuire teed up on the par three 17th hole of a lo- eal course, and took his swing with a nine iron. The 'ball hit a mallard duck in the head, ball and duck fall- ing to the fairway. McGuire pocketed the duck. and parred the hole. CANADIAN SHRINERS There are more than 19,000 Canadian Shriners in the nine "temples" in the country. 24 : TOMORROW at 8 P.M.

By ED SIMON Canadian Press Staff Writer The best laugh at a New Year's party a year ago would have greeted the fellow who said: '"Canada is going to get its Olympic goid medals from a bunch of bobsledders and a couple of subs from the eight- oared crew." And before the merriment died, he could have topped that one by adding that there would be a second-place silver medal in judo and no medal 'at all in hockey. In pre-Olympic speculation, the most prominent medal pos- sibilities were figure - skater Wendy Griner, Rev. David Bauer's hand - picked hockey team, frack stars Bruce Kidd and Bill Crothers, and the Van- couver Rowing Club-University of British Columbia eight. No one had heard of Vic Emery, Gecrge Hungerford, Roger Jackson or Doug Rogers. But it turned out to be a ter- rible year for betting on the favorites, beginning at the Win- ter Olympics in Innsbruck. Miss Griner, four-time Cana- dian titleholder in figure skat- ing who had finished as high as second in previous world cham- pionships, was among the also- rans in the women's singles while her perennial runner - up and fellow - Torontonian, Petra Burka, captured third - place bronze medals in the Olympic and world competitions. BEAT ITALIANS Emery and his crew, lacking a single run on which to prac- tise in Canada, stunned the bob- sledding world by defeating the favored Italians in the four- man event while Bauer's young collegians lost to the Czechs and Russians and finished fourth in the hockey tourna- ment, In the summer Games at Tokyo the Vancouver - UBC eight, whose predecessors were silver medallists at Rome four years earlier, couldn't get past the heats while Hungerford and Jackson, who weren't consid- ered strong enough to crack their lineup, emerged as the world's best coxless pair. On the track, Crothers won his medal with a magnificent second-place finish behind de- fending champion Peter Snell of New Zealand in the 800 metres. But Kidd, regarded by many as North America's top distance runner, was 26th of 29 finishers in the 10,000 metres and ninth of 11 in his heat of the 5,000, Five weeks after his return to Canada, it was learned that Kidd had competed with pulled tendons in both ankles and an ailment in his left foot which required corrective surgery. Meanwhile Harry Jerome, the world record - holding sprinter from Vancouver who had limped off the track as a loser at Rome and in the 1962 British Empire Games at Perth, Aus- tralia, made a. triumphant comeback by winning a bronze medal in the 100 metres and fin- ishing a close-up fourth in the 200. | Rogers, the strapping Toronto Oshawa Girls Take Victory Oshawa's Curran Carton girls jtook two out of three games jin the Toronto City Ladies' {Major five-pin bowling league |last weekend against Toronto Seagramettes. | Lou Himes paced the win- ners with a terrific 809 total. |Janet Peel followed. with 696, |Mavis Taylor had 609 for 28 frames, Joan Rogers 492 for 25 and Millie Bilida 156 for seven.

OLD MEN REPEAT It was not only in the Olym- pics that underdogs triumphed. Toronto Maple Leafs,' derided as tired old men when they finished an in-and-out third in the National Hockey League schedule, survived two cliff - hanging seven - game playoff series to win their third consec- utive Stanley Cup. Hamilton Tiger-Cats, widely acclaimed as the greatest team in Canadian football when they finished first in the Eastern Conference, were trounced 34-24 by British Columbia Lions, who won their first Grey Cup in 11 years of existence. Ernie Richardson's Saskat- chewan rink, Canadian curling champions four times in the previous five years, lost out to Lyall Dagg's British Columbia entry and the Bob Ash foursome of Kirkland Lake, Ont., dented Western prestige by capturing the national schoolboy title. The upsets even invaded the animal kingdom. Northern Dan- cer outran the favored Hill Rise to become the first Canadian- bred to win the Kentucky Derby. Two weeks later, still only the second choice, the three-year-old colt owned by E, P. Taylor of Toronto did it again in the Preakness. That was enough to convince the bettors, who installed the Dancer as favorite to complete his sweep to the triple crown by winning the Belmont Stakes. He finished third behind Quad- rangle and Roman Brother. INJURED IN WORKOUT The Dancer, a runaway win- ner of the Queen's Plate, ended his career when he was injured in a workout after his. Belmont defeat, But he had done enough to become the first Canadian horse to be named top three- year-old of the year on North American tracks. There were decisive victories in both Allan and Memorial Cup hockey finals as Winnipeg Ma- roons whipped Woodstock Ath- letics in four straight games for the senior title and Toronto Marlboros disposed of Edmon- ton Oil Kings the same way for the junior crown. Alberta downed Sir George Williams University of Montreal in the intercollegiate final. Amateur football champion- ships also were decided with a minimum of suspense as Tor- onto. East York Argonauts clob- bered St. James Rams of Mani- toba, the defending champions, 41-25 in the~senior final and Edmonton Huskies hammered Montreal Notre Dame de Grace 48-27 to wrap up the junior com- petition. The first national juvenile 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, December 31, 1964 11! final produced a little more ex- citement with Montreal Point St. Charles precio | as 20-13 victors over Norwood-St. Boni- face of Manitoba. Alberta, Queen's and McMas- ter were conference winners in intercollegiate football with St. Mary's and St. Francis Xavier tying for top honors in the Maritimes. St. Mary's downed McMaster 15-1 in the annual At- lantic Bowl game. SPLIT IN. LACROSSE Both national champions re- tained their. titles in lacrosse, Vancouver Carlings whipping Brooklin Merchants for the Mann Cup while Oshawa Green Gaels evened the score in jun- ior competition by defeating New Westminster Salmonbellies to keep the Minto Cup in the East. Golf produced another repeat winner. as veteran Nick Wes- lock of Toronto defended his Canadian amateur champion- ship. George Knudson of Tor- onto was the Canadian Profes- sional Golfers Association tour- nament winner. Moe Norman of Toronto was low Canadian in the Canadian Open, won by Kel Nagle of Australia. Saskatchewan edged Alberta, the defending champion, for the Willingdon Cup in amateur team competition. The women's champions were Marg Masters, an Australian now living in Ot- tawa, in the Open and Gail Harvey of Toronto in the Closed, Jim Sced of Vancouver Post of Milton. and Sandra ' Ont., won the junior titles.
