On the weekend the Warriors took three or four
points which kept them in good shape in the Western
Division standings. Kimberley, who Rossland tied 44 Friday, is twenty-three points out of first in the
division, which would seem to indicate the East
Division is quite strong while in the West four teams
are in contention while Grand Forks seems to be out
ofit.
Well the game in our Retirees first competition
have been completed and the draw has been made
up in the second round.
In the opening competition Angus Popplewell's
foursome with Carl Seefeldt third, Ken Stanton
second, Harry Gregory led and Hal McCormack
filling in the fifth spot is finished play in top spot
with 13 points from six wins and a tie. They nosed
out Norm Harry's rink of Dick Vermiere third, Jack
Hook second, John Irvin lead and Carl Osing fifth
man with 12. Fred Munro with Bernie Ferrey third,
and Larry Prough second, Ray Scott lead and Lou
Freeman in fifth spot can tie Harry with a win in his
final game.
1be draw for the second competition is complete and play started on Thursday with a full slate
of games. 1be manpower on all rinks will remain
the same, only personnel will change. The skips will
remain the same as in the first round and so before
nine games will be scheduled for each rink with
games every Tuesday and Thursday for five weeks
~til each rink has played every other one in each
competition.
