Howard's season ends on sour note by David Gravelle - Special Report The Walkman-wearing Russ Howard rink has seen it's song end, albeit on a wrong note. Looking over the Penetanguishene Curl- ing Club team's performance at last week's Labatt Brier in Saskatoon, a third place finish isn't all that bad. But, for the 1987 world champions it wasn't first place and that's difficult to accept. Alberta's Pat Ryan successfuly defend- ed his Canadian title, defeating B.C.'s Rick Folk, 3-2, in a match displaying few dramatic shots. ' Ryan's Edmonton rink will attempt to return the world championship banner to Canada, when they travel to the 1989 world championships in Milwaukee, Wis., from April 2-9. Last season they lost in the final to Norway. The last Canadian team to win the world title was in 1987, when Russ Howard and his rink of Glenn Howard, Tim Belcourt, Kent Carstairs, and Larry Merkley defeated Roger Schmidt of West Germany under the dome in Vancouver. Howard's goal to repeat that feat fell flat last Saturday in Saskatchewan Place. After finishing tied for first plae with an 8-3 record, the Ontario representatives were Ag pushed to third place,\because of their round robin defeats to Ryan and Folk. That set up a semi-final between Howard and Folk, a matchup many Ontario sup- porters liked. They applauded it even more when Russ Howard made an angle raise in the first end to steal two, and put the B.C. rink on the run right away. But, the Howard killer instinct wasn't there, and after two blank ends, Folk tied the game at two. Howard's song continued Cong ratulations at the wrong speed, in the fifth end when he gave up another steal. Penetang's lead Kent Carstairs receives his bronze medal at ting one; however, being third in a field of five former world In the sixth, Folk built up a wall of rocks the closing ceremonies while the team looks on. The Howard champions and the defending champion is an accomplishment around the four-foot circle, leaving the rink's third place finish at the Saskatoon Brier was a disappoin- which deserves praise. Penetanguishene skip with only a tough triple takeout to salvage one. The stone curled about an inch too far, and the tri- ple became only a single, and a steal of two for B.C. After six end, the 1980' world champs led the 1987 World Champs 5-2.
