‘In the latest issue of the:
“Scotch Cup News” there is much .
ado about nothing relating to the
proposed amendment to the Do-
minion Curling  Association’s
constitution. ,

' ‘This amendment, would auto-—

matically, brand any crrier who
has won more than $600. worth,
of prizes a professioual and would
exclude him automatically from
the McDonald Brier Competi-
tions.

> This rule is primarily aimed at
the Richardsons from Saskatch-
ewan who are riding 2. wave of
popularity and are making mo-
ney writing books, endorsing
sweaters and brooms and even:
get paid for appearing in exhi-
bitions.

“While this ruling does not af-
fect anyone in the Prince Ru-
pert Curling Club directly,. it
could make a difference: in our
club in my opinion.

: My reason for saying this is.
the fact. that we contribute $15C
approximately per year to the.
B.C. Curling Association which
in turn‘is affiliated with the Do-
minion . Curling Association.

* Now if proposed amendment
is passed at the annual. mecting
of the D.C.A. pior. to the McDon-
ald Brier early next ‘year, we
could save this amount of monty
by refusing to ‘belong to any or-
ganization whose reasons for ex-
Cluding the best curlers in Can-
ara are as feeble as this. -

; Most of us will agree that the
difference ‘between - amateurs

; ‘At the curling rink

' By BOB RUDDE RHAM

and professionals in other sports
is strictly the thickness of the
‘top of the table over (or: under)
which the contract transaction
takes place.

The only ttue amateurs left in
the world today'are the fellows
who compete in games With lit-
tle hope of. gaining ._prominence
in their chosen sports. We play
because we love the game. But
it is also because, of fellows like
ourselves that the better athlete
gets his reputation to start-with.

The top-notch “amateur’ in
other sports either get a scholar-
ship in some large university or
if he is past this age, he gets
some cushy job with a large firm
‘strictly for the publicity. and
orestige he may bring to that
firm: If .this isn’t professional-
ism, it certainly cannot be call-
ed amateurism.

So why should the D.C.A. put

ya prize limit on these curlers

who form the Who’s Who of
Curling? Surely. the difference
between an amateur ‘curler and
a professional ‘doesn’t. depend
on the result of the finals in the
Grand: Aggregate at some Auto-
motive’ Bonspiel. °

The Very. , fact, that the most
coveted prize in. ‘curling, the
McDonald Brier Tankard, is an
amateur event in’ a truer sense
of, the word than any other
amateur sport can claim, should

-| be = foundation » enough — to the}

curlers’ claim. “There are no

 

 

professionais amongst us”.
