CURLING CUES By ERNIE RICHARDSON WORLD CHAMPION SKIP Last Rock Is Keystone Of Strategy Strategy in curling is a difficult item to explain, but is a vital part of the game in competitive bonspiels and even at the club match level. We will not attempt to set down bard and fast rules of strategy, but try to provide some sea- sons for adopting different tactics at different stages of a game. The end being played, the score and whether or not you are leading, how your teammates are playing, the tricks of the ice and even a study of opponent's weak- ness all have a bearing on strategy. The fact that strategy can- backfire only adds to the challenge of try- ing to outguess or out-man- oeuvre your opponent, esp- ecially at an important stage of the game. Every skip must be able to direct his or her rink to best advantage in each game, making best possible use of the ability of each member of the team and exploiting weaknesses of your opponents, Com- petitive curling at every level is essentially a matter of putting pressure on your opponent, and continue applying that pressure until someone on his rink makes a mistake on which you can capitalize. Chief strategy of the game, however, rests on the last stone advantage. The secret here is in keeping the front open so that you will have a clear last shot. And, should one of your opponents miss a shot, spread your rocks in the house so as not to leave chances for double takeouts by your opponent. Normally the pressure is applied through the advantage of last rock, but at times this advantage can be overcome through a daring shot or switch in strategy to baffle an oppo- ment. Many skips favor guarding a shot rock in a close game, while others have found it equally effective to draw a second shot into the house. This acts as extra protection as well as increasing pressure on an opponent should he elect @ takeout or shot rock. A successful example of strategy in an important game went something like this: With only one stone in the house on the eight-foot circle, the opposing skip having last rock, this was the time for strategy. Playing a takeout, the shot was missed, but with his last stone the skip who was leading by one shot, played his last stone through the house rather than leave an extra target. This put pressure on the opponent for either an open takeout with the possibility of rolling out as well, or making a draw to the edge of the four foot. As it turned out, a draw was chosen, but the attempt was short, and the unusual strategy paid off.

If the golfer happens to be endowed with "a large nasal bridge" he actually sees the hole out of only one eye if he putts from the usual stance, Golfers tilt their heads by as much as 90 degrees. The doctor said that once the head is tilted more than 13 degrees, muscles that normally rotate the eye are apt to do strange For example, "the vertical muscles begin acting as hori- zontal' muscles, and the hori- zontal muscles as semi-verti- cal muscles." Dr. Vallotton said such devi- ations can "wreak havoc with the finer fusional components of binocular vision." In other words, the hole isn't where you thought it was. Leafs To Keep Stemkowski Up TORONTO (CP) -- Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League said today cen- tre Peter Stemkowski will be staying on their roster. Stemkowski, a former Tor- onto Marlboro star in the On- tario Hockey Association Junior A series who played this season with Rochester Americans of! the American League, was brought up by Leafs to fill a gap created by injuries. He has scored two goals and six assists in eight games. King Clancy, Leafs' assistant general manager, said '"'the way Stemkowski has been play- ing, it's highly unlikely he'll see Rochester again this year."

Duff, who came to Canadiens from New York after being traded last year by Leafs, banged his goal in at 7:50 be- fore Toronto goalie Johnny Bower could move. That goal must have made Bower unhappy, but he did more complaining about the opening goal, scored three min- utes earlier by Claude Larose. BOWER GRUMBLES "T had it, and lost it, and had it again," Bower grumbled, "but it finally went over me." The victory was the third in three starts for veteran Lorne (Gump) Worsley since being called up from Quebec Aces of the American League to sub for Charlie Hodge. Worsley stopped 30 shots, but his shutout bid was spoiled when Jim Pappin steered in Bob Baun's blueline shot at 12:17 of the second period. The goal was only the fifth that Worsley has allowed in three games. The third périod, like the first, was scoreless. Three minor penalties were assessed to each side. Montreal defenceman Jacques Laperriere drew a 10-minute misconduct when he argued about a high- sticking call. In the sloppily played Chicago contest, Bobby Hull scored his 37th goal of the season but act- ually lost ground in the NHL scoring race to teammate Stan Mikita, who picked up two goals and an assist.

Four minutes later, Mikita made it 2-0 on a short poke after Johnston made four saves and was flat on his back. Hay tallied less than a minute later when he rapped in Stan- field's rebound. Bucyk netted his 15th goal of the season on a pass from Mur- ray Oliver, who stole the puck near the Chicago net. But Chicago roared back a minute later. Stanfield slipped through the whole Boston of- fense and scored on a 20-foot blast. Hull hit four minutes after that, driving in Chico Maki's re- bound, and MacNeil made it 6-1 on a long screened shot at the eight - minute mark.
