Last weekend six Rossland
rinks joined 22 others from
around the West Kootenay to
compete in the Legion zone
bonspiel.
In the seniors competition
the veteran rink from Nelson
skipped by George Beaudry
defeated the ' Faunt rink of
Trail. In the regular competition it was the Primo
Secco rink of Trail coming
out on top over the Rossland
foursome of Jim Schuck. In
the seniors consolation
event, the · popular rink
skipped by Earl Moffat of
Nakusp defeated Tim
Timbrell of Trail.
Rossland rinks reached
the fours in both the seniors
and the consolation event.
Phil Bateman's rink. -was
beaten by Beaudry on the
final rock and the Bert

out by Timbrell in the
consolation, also with a finalend victory.
Moffat had Gordon
Haines, Deke Davis and
George Norman on his rink
while Timbrell was backed
up by Tim Jenkin, Bill
Spence and Gordon Laarz.
The Beaudry rink will be
in Fernie to contest the
seniors championship of
B.C. while Secco will be in
Princeton at the same time,
Feb. 1~12. Should they
advance, it will be Prince
Rupert for the seniors on
April 8-12 and Weyburn,
Sask., for the juniors March

18-24.
The bonspiel was very well
handled in all departments.
Doug Mcisaac, zone sports
chairman, was ably assisted
by · Bill Leaman and Al
McAulay and there was

always food and refreshments in plentiful supply.
Our rink never did get off
the ground. We tackled Doug
Winlaw of Nelson in the first
round and lost it by the
eighth end. We went all the
way against the Jim Leckie
rink from Castlegar. After
dropping behind 8-1, we
made a comeback to tie it up
only to lose in the tenth 11-10.
On Sunday morning, we fell
behind to Ted Leslie of Trail
and closed it down in the
sixth end.
All the games were fun
and Cyril Dekuysscher,
Bernie Fourt, and Ray Scott
are to be congratulated on
conducting themselves like
real gents under adverse
conditions.
.While I was otherwise
engaged in Trail, the
Warriors went out and did

what they had to do, taking a game so well now that I can
3-2 win over Castlegar and take or leave any American
coming back on Saturday to football game that's ever
wrest a S-1 decision from the played Super Bowl or what

now have a .500 record and
entertain again this
weekend. On Friday, it _will
be Nelson and on Saturday
they will try to repeat their
feat of a week or so back by
taking another one from the
league-leaders
from
Spokane.
The Super Bowl is now
history for another year and
it certainly wasn't the sort of
a contest that bad one sitting
on the edge of- his seat. The
only reason it makes big
news in this country is because of all the bally-hoo by
the news media in the States.
Actually it's not near as good
football as our Grey Cup. In
fact, I like the Canadian

nament. I got the news on
Monday m oming that the
Trail Pee Wees had beaten
Rossland in triple overthiie
in the f'inal game.
what I can hear, it wa(a
well-played tourney, which
is par for the course. These
people always come up '1th
a super effort.

Till next week, then!
