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

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

“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,

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,

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.
