Regina's Ernie Richardson rink squeaked past the United States crew 9-8 in the fifth round. In the other game, Scotland handed Sweden their fifth straight loss 18-4, Canada plays Scotland later today, but no rink can stop the Richardsons from bringing home the championship. It will be the third world championship for the Richardsons. The Hec Ger- vais rink from Edmonton won it last year. A key miss by Dickie Brown gave the Canadians a steal of two on the 11th end and, despite a game try, the U.S. rink of Fran Kleffman could salvage only two of the 12th. It was the Richardsons' clos- est call in 15 world curling games. Monday they set a rec- ord total and individual rink score in defeating Sweden's Rolf Arfwildsson 24-4 in the fourth round.
