Greatest moment in my curling career came as the result of a shot which was missed and not made. What makes it stick in my mem- ory is the fact that if it had been made, my rink would probably hive won the Canadian championship. It happened last March in Sas- katoon 4th -round match counters in the house and last rock to play. Skip Hall attempted to freeze to my rock 'on the 8-foot eolrele at 10 o'clock, a shot for which | his vice-skip had given the broom at ventre ice. Bert was wide on the shot, his rock ultimately up on the centre line at 6 o'clock, Just bi the 4-foot line for shot, directly ve the pipe line. The artificial pipes in the: Sas- katoon Arena were spaced 12 inches apart end ran the length of the rink, Consequently, this gave a » " effect to the oe as the rock always either pulled or kicked back to the soft side. We concen- trated some time on this shot as we knew that the ice' would kick back on a fast runner and would pull considerably on a slow shot, We also felt that the champion- ship hinged on this shot. We knew that the proper place to hold the broom for this shot un- der ordinary conditions would be at the side of the rock but owing to the kick back on a fast runner we gambled, and decided to hold the broom on tlie: centre of + the rock 'which gave us very little hit- ting surface, The shot was well laid with plenty of "zip" but pulled slightly 'more to the right than we expected, favouring the soft side. The, stone just grazed the rock enough to. move it over two feet which did not bring the other rocks into play. Consequently we lost the game, Hitting 'attother 1/16th of an inch of this stone would have won this game for us, and I feel, the Brier. Curling, being played on ice, how- ever, is a slippery game and. never was this fact.borne out- in & more telling manner.

Week-End N.H.L. Games Important By JACK MITCHELL Canadian Press Btaft Writer The record book lists goalie Bill Durnan as ambidextrous and totes he was born in Toronto, which seems as good 'a way as any of re~ Toronto's Maple Leafs the "big one that got. away" will be their major obstacle in tonight's important clash with Montreal Canadiens. This game, the ainth between the two teams, is only one of five week- end National Hockey League con- tests but it's also a "now or never" proposition for, Toronto. With less than a third of the schedule re- ig the second-place Leafs must start paring the Canadiens] six-point lead -- but soon. You could see how Toronto fans felt about it when they started lin: up at 4:45 am. Friday morn- ing for the few tickets that went on public sale five hours lated. It was recollections of the blood and thunder in the last meeting in Montreal that brought them out in the cold dawn. The thunder in that game was supplied by Canadiens, where emerged with an 8-2 ftri- umph; the blood was spilled when Montreal's veteran Elmer Lach suf- fered a fractured skull that finished him for the season. Despite the palpitating public, there will be no new attendance record for Toronto set. In one previous visit here this season, Can- adiens attracted an all-time record crowd of 16,315 but general manager Conn Smythe decreed yesterday that a ceiling of 15,000 would be set, thus giving those who pay to stand an opportunity to see as well. 'Whether they will see a Leaf vic- tory depends a lot on Durnan, the sparkling Montreal netminder who is well away to his fourth straight Vezina Trophy in his four N.H.L. seasons. The 32-year-old goalie, who broke in via Kirkland Lake, Ont, and Montreal amateur ranks, has been scored on only 99 times in 46 games. His nearest rival for the trophy is Toronto's Walter Broda, who has been beaten 115 times in 44 contests, and wouldn't the Leafs just like to turn it on enough to put old Turk back in the running. Both the Canadiens and the Leafs leave directly after the game for other week-end commitments.

'With Rangers just two points be- hind Bruins after their 10-1 pasting in Boston Wednesday night, neither yof the well-rested opponents should 0.R.F.U.
