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 bonspiels.

In highly competitive curling,

it is much tougher putting toge- t

ther a suitable rink,

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

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

have to possess in their reper-|.

toire the variety of shots that con-
front the third and skip. If they
have the aggressive quality, and
you are n good skip and can keep
your rink together, then you can
weld an effective solid front end
out of two curlers of average abi-
lity.

“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. ng

The skip, if possible,’ should
select some one whom he believes
is sold on his way of skipping. You
are’ simply borrowing trouble. if
you are 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

Itis very easy to second-guess
after the. game is over. A_ rink
must be bigger than that,-. That's

‘the mark of a team‘with champion-

ship Potential.

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.

Settle for getting your sweeping
from your lead and second.

Get. that esprit do. corps: on.
your rink, and you ‘are a‘point or
two ate on the scoreboard al-

Most of my columns this sea- |.

will deal with strategy and current
curling ‘problems, -

But I think a bit of a refresh-
er in the art of delivering a stone
is in order, and’ we'll deal ‘with
that by summarizing the essentials,

It you follow these points
closely, you should be able to im-
Prove your game a great deal:

of all; ‘the follow-through, Eve
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
finish:

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 ; comfortable...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. ae
and relaxed. i

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

+. concentrate on the weight, and
broom until you “have hoth firmly
fixed in your mind ..' never take

til completing your delivery.
&.: Move the’ stone back ‘and

. . begin the backswing slowly. -
keep the Hah ‘arm extended and

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
