: s CURLING CUES BY ERNIE RICHARDSON World Champion Skip In the previous article we dealt with the lead and second, or front end players. Now we move to the third spot and look at what a skip should expect from a third, or vice-skip as he is termed in some parts of Eastern Canada, and as mate in the Maritimes. No matter by what name his position is described the third is an extremely important man and his duties are exact. ing and varied. The third man theme is that he must be able to make almost every type of shot in the curling book. He is also expected to be skilful enough as a strategist to help the skip solve difficult problems. Among the duties of a third is to be able to. make the shots that clear the way for the skip. In some cases, early in the game, these shots can be in the nature of experimental probing to gain valuable knowledge of the ice for later shots. Vice-Skip Must Be Good Clean-Up Man Most thirds are expected to be good cleanup men who keep the house open for the skip's shots, particularly when your team has last stone on the end, A good cleanup man can make life much easier for the skip. Third players should also beable -to.make_a.straight hit, a simple draw, a guard or raise, or draw behind a front stone that is either in the house, or out in front. He should also be accurate enough in hitting, and sure enough on the broom to make double take- outs. Other qualifications are that he should be a good sweep- er and an excellent judge of weight. The third must be a good houseman when the skip is playing his shots. He needs to be quick to call the sweeping on, or off, and should be able to read the ice and convey the information to the skip. It helps considerably if each man on the team is capable of reading the ice since it is much easier to make good shots when you are familiar with the tricks of the ice and its general condition. Third-Man Theme Is Clutch Shooting One of the essential attributes of a good third is that he be a steady curler in the key situations. A clutch shooter with the ability to make the big shots when the pressure Is greatest. Many thirds who are expert shotmakers, fine stra- tegists, good judges of ice and sweeping and would generally prove good skips, prefer to remain as third players. These are sometimes cases where playing the last stones with the responsibility of the team on their shoulders is too great a pressure on third players and they just can't make the same shots they normally make in the third position. Such players are more valuable to a team as thirds, where their shotmaking ability and confidence in: making key shots is of great importance. This is one of the pecularities that appear in all sports. It takes a player of highly varied curling skill to be a qualified third in championship competition.
