Last week we ‘stressed the Im-
portance of lining up a club rink
aimed more at light-hearted curl-
ing.

Today we'll consider what
should go into making up of a
team gunning for bigger game, like
national titles and major bonspicls.

In highly competitive curling,
it is much tougher putting toge-|

ther a suitable rink,

I think that the emphasis on
the front end (the lead and se-
cond) should be placed on sweep-
fing ability and aggressiveness,
though not necessarily in that ord-
er, Many a wiley old timer has got-
ten surprising mileage with
couple of young bucks out in front

of him,

Ability, is ‘always a_tremen-
dous factor, of course, I intention-
ally ‘do not list it as obvious,
though not so vital as you might

These two’ positions do ‘not

toire the variety of shots that con-
front the third and skip. If they
have the aggressive quality, and

your rink together, then you can
weld an effective solid front end

llty.

“The third. man, or vice-skip
if you prefer, is: the backbone of
any successful rink. He must be
selected carefully,

The greatest rinks that have
been put together have had great
third men, almost without. excep-
tion. One of the most important
factors is the third man’s ability
to get along with the skip.

Many, many things depend on

,|this—being able to help the skip

without offending him, cooling him
down when he is angry, building
up his ego when he is sagging, jol-
lying him along in the appropriate
situation.

The skip, if possible, should
select some one whom he believes
is sold on his way of skipping. You
are'.simply borrowing trouble. if
youare at odds on matters of
strategy. .Many games. have’ been
lost because of disagreement on
simple shots, and morale has suf-
fered from bickering after a losing
game,

It is very easy to Soren ee

after. the game is over. A rink
must. be bigger than’ that.:. That’:

If ability is not available, make
sure. that compatibility. is. Sacri-
fice even sweeping for that fact-
or. It is not nearly so important
as. you might think, Third men
are usually poor sweepers anyway.

Most of my columns “this sea-

But I think'a bit of a refresh-
er in the art of delivering a stone
is_in order, and’ we'll deal with

If you" follow’ these points
closely, you should be able to im-
prove your game a great deal. All
aro -important, but ‘I think,’ most
of all, -the follow-through. Every
good curler ends up with his arm
fully extended toward the _skip’s
broom after he has released the
stone,

Let's! review, them from start

fo finish? 2...

‘1 Clean the running surface
of the stone carefully. The tiniest
particle can affect the course: of
the stone’ and undo ‘everthing you
have put-into the business of pro-
perly delivering a rock.

2, Take your. stance in ‘the
hack...be comfortablo...your. right
arm extended parallel:to your right
leg which is pointed at the broom..
the broom’ extended to the side
with .the:\straw just touching. the
ice, '.).your. shoulders squared. '
and relaxed.’

3.-Grip the handle properly, .
sufficient pressure so that you
have ‘the .stone: under control. ;
for the in-turn, the handle is ina
straight line pointing at the broom
for the out-turn the handle
is at 45 degrees to the skip's broom,

4.-Your eyes are on the broom
‘concentrate on the weight, and
broom ‘until you have both firmly
fixed in your mind . .‘ never take
your eyes off the broom again un-
tal completing your delivery.

5. Move the stone back ‘and
forth about an inch to get the feel
. . begin the backswing slowly. «
keep the right arm extended ‘and
draw the rock back on a line with
the broom.

6. Come. back down smoothly
from the backswing, keeping the
right arm extended. Push off the
right leg from the hack to supply

Now, you may think that these
points are elementary and that
everyone follows them faithfully.

‘Well, they are elementary, but
almost no one’ does all of them.
This is one reason why there are
lots of average curlers and con-

siderably less really good ones.
