movements on ice But it Just takes time and practice before a lot wlU be outcurling some of the older hands The was a little heavy at the start of the week but then green Ice always produced heavy curling As the week wore on ft became easier to throw the stones the length of the Ice This coming week should see the tones sailing the length of the Ice With little effort on the part of the thrower
