H4 The GAZETTE, Montreal, Saturday, March 20, 1982 Canadian rink aims today junior curling title he did through much of the round- site side of the house and Gray, with his last rock, was a touch heavy with his attempt to hit and stay. He re-moved the Canadian rock on the four, but rolled out himself and enabled the Canadians to steal one. The key shot, however, was the double takeout by Thompsett in the ninth. The Winnipeg skip never looked more confident at the championships than he did in this end. "I felt good, I knew I could make the shot," he said, admitting though that it took both his shots to make his point.

"Sometimes it's no trouble with those shots, other times it's a little tougher." In the tie-breaker with the U.S., Thompsett looked shaky much as 1 i I if Manitoba seniors curling champions CP Lawwpholo B.C. skip Sandra Plut, centre, grins after wrapping up junior women's curling title. B.C. girls win junior curling title CHARLOTTETOWN (UPC) Manitoba skip Lloyd Gunnlaugson employed his last shot of a sudden-death playdown yesterday to draw into the house for three in the 10th end and down Alberta's Ray Tull 5-4 to capture the 1982 Canadian senior men's curling championships. The Manitoba foursome of Gunnlaugson, mate Toro Suziki, second Albert Olson and first Elgin Christian-son shook off the pressure of the sudden-death match, curling over 92 per cent as a team in defeating Alberta.

"I don't know if I can live too long with my blood pressure this high," said the 51-year-old Manitoba pilot. "I'm about two feet off the ice." Gunnlaugson, who guided his rink to a sterling 10-2 record in the regular round-robin phase of the event, credited his team's success to a positive attitude. "I came here intending to win and that confidence kept my spirits high and my shots accurate, which can be attributed to the win," he said. "You have to believe you can do it. You have to believe you can make the shots." The Albertans, skipped by Hull, had downed Ontario 10-6 in the 14th me and I threw rocks whenever I could sneak on the ice," the smiling blonde skip added.

Throughout the competition, it appeared as though Ontario and Quebec would finish at the top of the 11-rink event. Ontario won its first five games and Quebec's Debbie Wark wasn't far behind at 4-1. As it was, Quebec finished 6-4 for third place, the best they've done in these championships. "When we were 2-2, things didn't look good," said Plut. "Ontario and Quebec were always in the limelight to start with, but we just got it together.

The girls were shooting good after that, and it worked out." Goring accepted defeat graciously. The 18-year-old college student said she and her rink of third Kristin Hol-man, second Cheryl McPherson and lead Lynda Armstrong simply could not find their draw weight. WINNIPEG (CP) Sandra Plut, who practiced curling in Vancouver while the rest of her rink was perfecting its shots in Kamloops, B.C., defeated Alison Goring of Ontario 6-3 yesterday to win the Canadian junior women's curling championship. Plut stole three points in the fifth end to take a 5-0 lead over Toronto's Goring, and then coasted to the special playoff game win to take the championship. Plut and Goring finished the six-day, round-robin competition with identical 8-2 records, forcing yesterday's tie-breaker game to determine the champion, It was no contest.

Goring, who defeated Plut 7-6 in the second round of regular competition, blanked the second and third ends after Plut unintentionally took one in the first. But Goring and her rink couldn't find their draw weight and Plut stole one in the fourth before blowing the game wide open with the fifth-end three to coast to the win. "That broke the game wide open," Plut said after the victory. "After that, she had to go for anything. She needed anything and everything in the house, she needed points.

"All we did was keep it really clean," she said. "We didn't give her an opportunity for anything more than one." For Plut and her rink of third Sandra Rainey, Leigh Fraser and Debra Fowles, it's been a rather strange curling season, topped off finally with a national curling championship. "I'm going to university in Vancouver and they live in Kamloops," said Plut. "They practiced with our coach during the week and I was in Vancouver throwing rocks.

It was a measure of revenge for Thompsett who lost to Andrew McQulstin of Scotland in the '80 world championships at Kitchener, and sends the Canadian foursome against a formidable Swedish rink in today's final. The Swedes, skipped by Soren Grahn, were 9-0 in round-robin play that ended Thursday and earned a bye to the championship game. The final at the Aitken Centre will be televised on the CBC network starting at 3 p.m. EST. Three-way tie Canada, Scotland and the U.S.

tied for second with 6-3 records in the preliminary draw. Scotland was awarded the bye to the semifinal by virtue of earlier victories over both Canada and the U.S. In a tie-breaker yesterday afternoon, Canada scored two in the 11th end to defeat the American rink, skipped by Dale Risling of Seattle, 8-6, to advance to the semifinal. Canada has been to the final every year except 1979 since the inaugural world junior men's championship in 1975, winning three successive years 1976 to 1978 and never finished worse than third. Thompsett made a spectacular last-rock double takeout in the ninth to preserve Canada's control of the game.

Had to hit, roll And when his rock was still biting at the top of the 12-foot rings, Gray, an 18-year-old Glasgow bank trainee, was forced to hit and roll to keep Scotland's last-rock advantage in the 10th. The strategy of both skips in the 10th was to keep the house clear. Thompsett's first rock at the front of the eight was the only stone in the rings when Gray, with his first stone, attempted to draw behind it. He was hoping for a Canadian miss to count two. But his delivery was both heavy and wide and was swept through the house.

"I served poorly. I let him take the net from me. "Motivation was also a problem for me." Dyotte, from Montreal but attending Bellhaven College in Jackson, Mississippi on a tennis scholarship, shocked Quebec's perennial champion, romping to a 5-0 lead in the first set. Genois made errors repeatedly in the first before rallying by holding serve twice and breaking Dyotte's serve once. Genois failed to cash in a golden opportunity to possibly completely recover from his horrible start in the ninth game of the first when he let five match points go for naught.

"My biggest error was that I let myself get broken twice in the first," he said. Genois found his consistency in second and third sets. He broke Dyotte twice in each set to help his cause. "I was the one making a lot of mistakes in the second and Rejean hit some pretty good passing shots," said Dyotte. "He seemed to hit even harder in the third.

"I played up to my maximum on every point," Dyotte added. "Mentally, I was relaxed against him and I figured I was capable of beating him. But he played well. He's In good shape physically, and he's got the experience, that's for sure."

By RANDY PHILLIPS of The Gazette Top-seeded Rejean Genois, showing signs of fatigue as the indoor tennis season draws to a close, came from behind to halt the upset hopes of Martin Dyotte in quarterfinal action in the $6,000 Labatt Light Grand Prix last night.
