{football association and present draw chalrman for the -Prince
Htupert Curling Club, During ‘the -past week, with the Fourth

~ Annual Curling Club Bonsplel Imminent, BI has been digging

throuh past statistics from the club's records to show what has
happened at the previous ‘splels. It’s more than a tolerably ood
record as far as the local curlers are concerned, but let Bill

fake over .

.Prince:Rupert Is not a happy hunting ground as far as
aut of town rinks ts concerned. The Grand ‘Challenge for the
Faghton Footwear Trophy has never been- won by a visiting rink.
The winners to date are, A. J. Dominate In 1952, BE, Rowbotham
in 1953 and G, Neely Moore in 1954, That's one record the “locals”
wlll be out to keep intact this year,

“The other Primary Competition for the Superlor Auto
Trophy has only been we. once by a visiting rink and that was
in 1952 when CIf Delage took the trophy back to Smithers. In
1053 it wa won by A.J. Dominate and Jack Laurle won it in 1654.

“The Secondary Competition for the North Star Bottling
Works ‘Trophy has yet to be won by an out of town rink, Winner$
nce the inception of the local curling club have been B, EF. Rowe
potham,-G,. Bateman and last year, Dr, A, Miller, Is it possible
the visitors ean beat the hoodoo thls year?

“The other Secondary Competition for the Applewhalte
Trophy has been won twice by the same visiting rink.and. only
onee by a lozal rink, Bill Bovill of Smithers took this trophy
wack with him in 1952 and 1964, but Ken Warren returned ft to
Prince Rupert tn 1963. “

"The Introduction of a trophy In the consolation competition
took place in 1053 and that-year it was won by a local rink, skipped
hy Dr. Wilson, Last year It fell to Ken Robertson to keep the
trophy in this city. However, {t must be admitted that Ken’s third
was Reg. Collison of Smithers.

“The Grand Aggregate Trophy Is usually taken as the yard-
stick for measuring the power of rinks In any 'splel as the winner
of this trophy has the highest percentage of wins in the ‘spiel,
This trophy in the Prince Rupert Bonsplel is the Frizzell Trophy,
which has never b2en won by an outside rink. The winner in 1952
was the Dominato rink, skipped by Bill McKenale with Chuck
Qstertag, Dom Nominate and Jim Georgeson as other rink mem-
bers,

“They finished with a winning percentage of 90. In 1953 Rert

with team mates*Pete Bell, Dill Baxter and Jack Rewbotham.
Last year the Jack Laurie rink, skipped by Jack himself with
erry Lemire, Sev Dominato and Ben Skalimerud won out with
a,percentage of 89,

“The big question is... can any rink come up with 100 per
and most of all, can it be a visiting rink?

“However, there is one record that cannot be beaten...
