CURLING CUES By ERNIE RICHARDSON WORLD CHAMPION SKIP Only Weapons Are Two Basic Shots There are two basic shots in the game of curling, the draw and the take-out, and these are the only offensive and defen- sive weapons at your disposal. x x x x First objective of every skip is to place his opponent on the defensive and once this is attained you are well on the way to winning. Whenever you can force your opposition to hit you have them on the defensive, for the take-out shot is an attempt to cut down the advantage of the opposition. On the other hand, the draw shot forces your opponent to take chances. If you have last stone on the end it is your best plan to take the offensive as boldly as possible and your draw shots should be placed where they force the opposi- tion to adopt a hitting game. My advice is to try and draw the sfones to the tee line, or in front of it, provided you have last stone. If the oppo- sition makes all its shots and you can count only one shot, it is generally advisable to blank the end and play for a bigger count next end as you retain last rock advantage: 'This is particularly helpful in a close game where the teams are evenly matched. Should this strategy be carried out perfectly the skip with last rock'on the first end could blank all but the last end and win 1-0 in the match with your final rock. This is not likely to happen since, being human, all curlers make mistakes, and each game has these errors and your play must be adjusted accordingly. Taking advantage of an opponent's mistakes and keeping your own mistakes to a minimum is the secret of suc- cess. And most important in retaining the offensive in a game is to recognize the importance of having last rock on the final end, especially in a close match. If you have last rock ad- vantage on the second last end it is essential to play to blank the end and retain the advantage. Having last rock on the closing end can also aid in a rally for two or three shots if needed provided you place your shots where your opponent is forced to: hit. Play to keep the pressure on and in the case of a miss or two, you have the opportunity to build up a big end. Should you be the side to miss then you are on the defensive and the last rock advantage does not loom so large. But this adds to the challenge and thrill of curling. So, the ability to adjust to that challenge and the frequently changing strategy is the mark of a skilled curler.

FATHER OF FOUR Broken Back Added To His Hard Luck Streak TORONTO (CP)--A love for, a broken back and more debts four children can afford. Last week at the nearby Port mercial League hockey match, slid heavily into the boards and Doctors at South Peel Memor- laid up for seven to 12 months. He has no insurance of any Hard luck is no stranger to the Nash family. They moved to Port Credit from Halifax three years ago so their son, Ricky 5, could be treated at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children. He was born with webbed feet, two thumbs on each hand and a hole in his heart. He still can't talk. Fred, after six months of part-time employment, found .a steady job. However, he was dropped from the payroll. be- cause the small company he worked for could not afford to keep him after the accident. The family's only income is Mrs. Nash's salary from. an overnight job at the hospital where Fred is confined. It isn't enough to pay rent on their three - bedroom apartment and they move into a one - bedroom apartment this week. Ricky and Kim, 3, had to live with an uncle in Montreal and Fred and Cathy don't know when they will be able to send BASKETBALL SCORES By THE CANADIAN PRESS for them.

Gilles Lefort of the University of Montreal Carabins, who cap- tured the Senior Intercollegiate Hockey League scoring crown with a late surge last year, moved closer to the top of the list last week. Lefort clicked for three goals and four assists in two games to move into a two-way dead- lock for second place with Hank Monteith of University of Toronto Blues. Each has 24 points on 9 goals and 15 as- sists. Monteith's brother and team- mate, Steve, continues to lead the sco; race with and 16 assists for 33 points.
