'Page 24, Wednesday, -November -18+-1981 Howard comes up empty by Garry Forbes The Russ Howard rink came up empty in last weelend's Molson Classic bonspiel at the Royal Canadian Curling Club in Toronto. Howard, a skip of Ontario's 1979-80 championship _ rink, easily. won his first game of the season's biggest money event before running into defending Canadian Brier champ Kerry Burtnyk of Winnipeg on Friday. Burtnyk, winner of the round-robin preliminaries at last year's Silver Broom OF world championship, defeated the Howard rink 8-6, with the dif- ference coming On the last shot. Burtnyk was then dumped 8-5 in the main event semi-finals by Joe Gurowka of the host club. Burtnyk won $1,200 in prize money, Gurowka took home $4,200 after his loss to Ed Werenich of Avonlea in the final -- in which Werenich won $8,400 - and the four members of the Howard rink each left $60 (in entry fees) lighter. Howard says though he was disappointed in elimination by such a narrow margin, the results were an in- dication of the un- predictability of the mens' curling scene this season. "We really should have beaten (Burt- nyk)," Howard, a native of Midland, said from his present residence in Huntsville. "It was a good, close game. It's going to be a tough year, too. I'd say there were only four or five rinks out of the 64 that were there that didn't have a shot at the cham- pionship."' In the Howard rink's previous bonspiel, the Masters Invitational in Ottawa, their opponents scored three points in the final end to win by © two and rob the Howard rink of at least $1,000 in prize money. Others in Howard's formidable contingent are vice Bob Charlebois of Toronto, skip of last year's Ontario cham- pionship rink, and veteran Penetanguis- hene club curlers Kent Carstairs, lead, and Larry Merkley, second. Next outing will be the second-largest event of the Ontario circuit, a Whitby-hosted comp- etition which carries a $7,000 top prize. In late December, the rink will begin its trek toward the Ontario championships, aiming first for a win out of its home club. Though they haven't made a final decision, Howard says they'll probably base themselves at the Penetanguishene Curling Club. Howard says he also plans to take part in the Midland Curling Club's first major' cash bon- spiel, slated for late January.
