Certainly in the world championship the opposition won't be tough, comparably, anyway. In the Brier, however, Duguid will certainly not waltz to the title, although it's almost expected the Little Round Man and his mates will go through the 10 games without a loss.

In last year's Consols, Duguid lost two games his opening game to Hamiota's Garth Stracban and to Friesen in the best-of-three final. In the Brier, he lost one game, to British Columbia's Lyall Dagg.

(CP) seems only fitting that Patrick Russel of France should have finished Sunday what three of his women team-mates had stalled with such a Flourish three days earlier. Russel, 25. wound up the three-day Bank of Montreal International World Cup ski meet with a brilliant victory in the men's two-run special slalom after three French girls Isabellc Mir, Jacqueline Rouvier and Francoise Mac-clii had done surprisingly well for France Friday with a one-twn-three in the women's gianl slalom. But in hetween Ihe French victories, the weather, a pair of men from Switzerland and a sister tandem from the United States Marilyn and Barbara Cochran had all done their share lo insert themselves into the sopllighl. Rtisacl, while able tn win two giant slaloms in Europe, sccaua i'om Lyncti anci lead Ken Hall didn't try hard, though.

Jenion was named the all-star third for the five-day Hon and Lynch, in Sunday's lone game, curled 100. per cent, which isn't bad. Taylor, about as short as Duguid in the 5'6" range and wearing hom-rimmed glasses that rested on the tip of his nose occasionally, was penned at 90 per cent. Duguid was 92 per cent. It appeared in the early slages of Sunday's game that it was going to be a laugher, that Taylor, in his youth, would choke, even though that is a nasty word in curling circles.

Choke, baloney! The only people who choked were the ones who choked on their words about the' young skip. 'Be was 'down 6-2 after three ends when Duguid capitalized on two mistakes by the Taylor Foursome to cnunl four in the third. But Taylor pecked away and after 10 ends of the 12-end match, it was 8-6 for Duguid. In the 11th, Taylor had a free draw for one if he wanted it, but he didn't so he blanked the end. He wanted the hammer in the 12th, for what it was worth.

In the final regulation end, Taylor kept putting rocks out front, hoping that either Wood, Pettapiece or Hunter would miss or else accidentally hit one of them on the nose, staying in front. Wood's two stones kept the ice around the house clean. Same with Pcttapeice's two and Hunter's first. Then, it happened. A break.

Hunter's second stone hit one of Taylor's on the nose, and there was a potential guard, Jension coolly drew in directly behind the guard, to the four-root. Duguid, with his first rock, tried the double take-out, but just eliminated the guard. Duguid's stone rolled to the right and staved in the play, about four reel away From the boards. Taylor then drew in bc-hind that one. Duguid tried again for the double kill, coming even closer this time, but just getting one out of the house.

With his last stone, Taylor drew in to count two and tie the game. Six SWHLers eau't stop And 'ifi-yoar-otd all-star Hon Chipperlield, Western Canada Hockey League variety that is, warmed up Tor Tuesday's big game in Winnipeg by blasting five goals and an assist. He only 'played the firs I two periods. Other regulars to score were Barry Chernos, Wayne Coxworth, Derek Kuntz and Dale Cook, as the Wheaties took a 4-1 1 lead after the open- ing period, and upped it. lo 12-3 after two.

Of the six replacements the win was had 'only a third-place special slalom effort to his credit earlier Ihis season. But he made up for the discrepancy in rare style Sunday when bis runs of 47.37 and 52.58 seconds gave him overall time of one minute, 39.E5 seconds; one tenth of a second faster than Gustavo Theoni of Italy. The victory also allowed Russel to vault into a 10-point lead over Thoeni in the men's World Cup standings. The French skier now has 125 points, 10 more than the Italian racer. Before coming here, Russel had been in fourth place in the pninl standings, with 100, behind Theoni, and team-males Jean-Noel Augert with 107 and Henri DuviUard with 103.

Augert failed lo gain a point here when he failed lo finish both the giant and special slalom.
