Players Key To Etiquette of the game. And, observing the tules of curling is all a part of the general etiquette Tegardiess of the standard of "The players themselves are : ued success of any sport. 'The curlers themselves should always strive to be respected Pog for this fine o~ so rapidly grown popularity There are many points of that will come natur- ally to most players, but some of the major items that should be observed by all curlers are offered for your study. WHEN NOT delivering a stone, players other than the skips of each team should stand well to the sides of the sheet of ice on which they are playing. This allows full vision to the skip and the player who is delivering the rock to see the broom. This is a must when wide 'ice is being played. It is actually against- the rules in major competitions, and in other cases considered in bad taste, for players other than the skip or vice skip, to congregate in, or behind the house, especially when one of re opposing players is shoot- ig. And when the skip is giving the broom for one of his play- ers, no other broom should be on the ice, near or behind the skip. Any such distractions are considered unsportsmanlike, and can be unnerving to both opponents and teammates alike. There is another point that can create distractions and it happens at the other end of the ice. While an opponent is delivering a stone, the next player should take a position ere there will be no inter- ference with the shot. HE SHOULD not be moving behind the hack in any way that might distract his oppo- nent. He should, however, be ready to deliver his stone es soon as it is his turn to play. Skips -- or vice-skips when the skips are shooting -- are the only players allowed to sweep behind the tee liné (cen- tre line of the rings), unless the skip has specially desig: nated another player to do the sweeping. This means that one high |person only on each team can sweep behind the tee line. Then there is a new rule in force this season pertaining to the slide and delivery of the stone, No part of the player's body, or his playing equip- ment, broom, etc., may cross near the hog line in completing the delivery. This rule brings up still an- other point of etiquette. If a player should break this rule, it is his duty to immediately announce it to his opponent whether accidental or other- wise. Then the opposing skip has the right to either let the shot stand, or remove the stone and replace others that might have been moved by the shot. BECAUSE THE onus is on the non-offending side to call the rule infringement, -- this places the non-offending skip lin a most uncomfortable and at times an unfortunate situa- tion. This is where etiquette and sportsmanship comes in. The player who commits the foul knowingly and does not declare it, thus forcing his opponent to call him on the foul, is cheating both his opponent and himself as well as doing the game of curling an injustice. : Skips and thirds -- vice- skips to easterners -- may hold strategy consultations at any time during a game, but long delays are not generally con- doned. Together with consult- ing with the skip, the vice-skips also take care of the scoring of ends and also decides in co- operation with opponents when a measure is required to deter- mine shot stone. AND, FINALLY, although curling, like hockey is played on ice, blocking or bodycheck- ing are definitely not a part of curling etiquette. Aq BILL CROTHERS -- poy By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Sports Editor | It's a happy birthday and a' Merry Christmas. today 'to Bill Crothers from the country's sports editors and sportscast- ers. They named him Canada's outstanding male athlete of 1964 with a whopping vote of confi- dence. The award was made on the bespectacled young man's 24th birthday and in recognition of his outstanding successes on tracks in North America and Britain, capped by a great sec- ond-place silver-medal perform- ance in the Summer Olympic Games at Tokyo in October. There, against the best field the world has known in the 800 metres, he was picked to finish no better than fourth. But he sent the experts scurrying for cover with a placing behind gold medallist Peter Snell, the all-time great at distances rang- ing from 800 to 1,500 metres. Crothers was clocked in 1:45.6, the second fastest of all time. And he was the first Ca- nadian to reach the final in this event since Phil Edwards: of Montreal won the silver in the 1936 games. at Berlin. JEROME SECOND The 148 voters in the 30th an- nual Canadian Press year-end poll, asked to name the three individual athletes in order of ipreference, gave Olympic com- petitors a clean sweep. Crothers, a pharmacist in the Toronto suburb of Markham, topped the list with compara- tive ease. Computed on a 3-2-1 basis, he received 313 points, was menitoned by 122 voters and given 85 first-place votes, 21 seconds and 16 thirds. Second with 107 points was & Harry Jerome of Vancouver, who had undergone surgery for a damaged thigh muscle after * a disappointing showing in the " 1962 British Empire Games + where he finished last in the 7 100-yard final. Jerome came jback to win a third - place bronze in the Olympic 100 me- 77 Itres, missing the silver by ae ¥ inches. U.S. GRID CLASSICS 'Weather Looms Factor In Championship Games Doug Rogers, the strapping Toronto factory worker who was born in Truro, N.S., and whose father lives in Vancou- ver, was third with 86 points. He brought new popularity to judo by finishing second in the heavyweight division at 'Tokyo.
