The win, coupled with Chi- cago's 1-1 tie with New York Rangers, allowed Detroit to stretch its lead without losing its all-important two-games-in- hand advantage. The Black Hawks stretched their second-place lead overjriod. idle Montreal Canadiens to three points while Toronto held fourth spot five points behind Montreal.

ULLMAN'S SECOND NOW Ullman's two - goal effort pushed him into second place in the individual scoring race with 68 points, one more than Bobby Hull who failed to improve his 67-point total.

With the change, the quality of play has also improved tremendously and this has carried through even at the level ef club games, And, although it might be attributed to an increase in the value of prizes in some sections of the coun- try, particularly in Western Canada, this is not truly the reason. Popularity Boom Boosts Curling Skills The improvement in play generally, and the appearance of many outstanding rinks has been brought about through a boom in curling popularity across Canada, and now in other parts of the world. Like golf, curling offers a challenge to improve, and the increase in the number of bonspiel of all types, provides the competition necessary to develop better players. Then there is the fact that each of the public, or semi- public rinks, provides personal instruction -- in many cases free -- and the improvement in many instances has been fantastically rapid. Another point -- similar to golf on a pay-as-you-play basis -- is that players can at least make a start in the game. From this source has come many of our leading players in recent years. After that start, however, they generally wind up in a private club. Some quickly move t the highly competitive bracket of the game. General Improvement Means Balanced Rinks This trend of general improvement was proven in the 1965 Brier at Saskatoon where the play was fairly even, and there was not the vast difference in quality of rinks from different sections of the country. The quality of play has picked up in all sections, and within the next two or three years, the Brier should develop into an event which could be Won by any one of the 11 provinces represented. , There was some concern among both players and specta- fors at Saskatoon that the game might become too scientific among the country's leading players and as a result lose much of its interest. The strictly knockout type of play with several blank ends -- most of them deliberate -- is making ft a dull performance for spectators. The feeling also exists that this type of play, especially by accurate shooters, brings all top-ranking curlers into pretty much the same ability bracket. Variety and Strategy Still Success Factors Much of this concern in our mind is: unwarranted. Expert skips have generally been able to switch their style of game at any point, and with a team made up of players who are versatile enough to play most of the shots required, that team will win often in any kind of company. As in most other sports, ability, variety and strategy are generally the factors that separate the men from the boys. vei BRAKES RELINED 45 MODELS--Chevrolet, Pontiac, 1951-58; hid Meteor, 1949-59; Dodge, Plymouth '49-56 ALL 4 WHEELS BIG SAVINGS FOR OTHER CARS--For Example: Chevrolet, Pontiac, 1959-64 ALL 4 WHEELS . 14,95 Certified mechanics carefully check entire brake syste: PLUS many sofety 'ouives. r Fred A.
