Edwards Box 1722 Futee pkcs5 Montreal Jimmy Ursel has restored my Faith in Curling. Barring a com plete disaster the personable Quebec skip will finally make it up that tantalizing final step to the Canadian Curling throne today proving Only that class and ability do have a. Meaningful place in this crazy game. He s had the Best team Here All week. And hell also have an excellent Chance of winning the Silver Broom and restoring some of Cana d a s diminishing prestige. Let s face it. That s what the Brier is All about producing a team of work championship calibre. For a team that was t even certain it would Able to Field four i Ayers Ursel has curled up a storm and third Art Lobel aching Back and All has been a big Factor in the Quebec team s Success. I was t putting you on i was really concerned about Lobel even Ursel assured. Start he did. Lobel in fact has had the kind of Brier Jimmy knew he was capable of. Everyone around Here knows Art is a Fine player but he s never really lived up to expectations in previous said West Kik Lonan born Ursel who has skipped four Quebec teams in the championships. He was also Norm Houck s excellent third when the Manitoba team lost a playoff for the 1962 Brier Tankard. Now 40 years of age you might say Ursel is Long Over due. I Hope he wins it. He d be the Best representative from this said Manitoba s Johnny after the Lac Dubonnet skip Kwi cried miserably in a 7-2 toes to us Don Blanchard transplanted Manitoban who moved to Quebec in 1972. Ursel May not shove the beloved canadians off the front sport pages if when As anticipated he completes a Mission he started 20 years ago. But the Way the local natives have responded and rallied around Ursel s St. Laurent rink suggests he May become a mini hero. Nobody of course will dare mention his name in the same breath As Jean Beli Veau or Maurice Richard. Quebec of course has never won the Brier. If he was going to have a shot at the Tankard Ursel had to produce his credentials yesterday. He came through with flying a tors. First he knocked Over the. Sputtering . Team which simply ran out of geritol. Then he put on a great Dis play of shoemaking against the Manitoban and former club mate Dave Romano the Manitoba third who has curled superbly. Romano did t lose the matchup Between the two Best thirds Here Friday night Ursel Curling like a machine outplayed the shaky Sackis from Here to Lac a Bonnet. The Dif Ference was at skip. Meanwhile it s obvious the once powerful Western prov inces who like to think they wrote Lite Book on Curling have taken a Back scat in the Brier. Horros upon horrors for the second year in a Row Little Newfoundland made a clean sweep of the so called Western Powers. Unflappable Wayne Hamilton of St. John s added the whipped Cream last night when he pulled off some great shots to hand Roy vintners his third straight loss and open the Gate for Ursel. Interestingly the new tie handed Ursel one of his two setbacks. Vintners skipping the oldest team Here came Back to Earth with a thud after getting All the Breaks in the Book and making the big shots when they were needed to go 8-0. Saskatchewan s l e s Rogers a keen ice curler typical of the wheat prov Ince was simply no match for the ice Here. Young Tom r e e d of Alberta suffered from inconsistency. As for the Manitoban Sackis was the first to admit they Sim ply did t have it this week. Just was t up to Sackis told a Cluster of newsmen after blowing numerous key shots including an open hit for two Early in the game against Ursel. It was t the difficult shots that stymied Johnny u. To was the routine ones. And at times he just was t in the mentally. After Ursel made a tremendous double and Roll to spoil a promising eighth end Manitoba rally Sackis tried to play Down to a Back Rock and drifted it through. He was unaware of a Quebec biter in the 12. When we Hung up the Deuce he asked me How we got said Ursel. I thought Johnny also called a. Couple of bad shots and he just did t have any idea of the not one to Alibi Sackis said he did t like the eve changing ice conditions. Personally i did t like the ice. I did t have the feel of it All week. Heck the draw is my Best shot i m usually deadly. But you saw the one i missed against Newfoundland. I c o u 1 d n t even hit the 12 Sackis said sadly. The Manitoba skip his rink of Romano de Thompson and Bob Collet full Marks however. The boys played Well All Sackis praised. If i had been sharper we would have had a Good Chance of win Ning the Brier. That s Whit really he received Strong support from Romano As expected and the front end was among the Best. Here. Percentage Wise Sackis ranked among the top skips most of the week but he made some glaring misses and paid dearly. Now we can beat new Brunswick today and tout have a respectable concluded who could finish at 7-4. So easily it conk have been a f-2 Mark. He h nightmares for the next two just. Thinking about the shots he blew against . Newfoundland that ruined his Brier ;
