One of the strangest tales to

Don Fleming. It concerned the
fabulous Campbell brothers, of
Avonlea. According. ‘to the
Story, the Campbells, who are

Moving along-the ice, clainied
that if they were accorded the
privilege of sweeping any
opponent’s stone, they would
guarantee and even make a
small wager that it would not
stop in the house or anywhere
on the 12-foot circle. In short,
the Avonlea boys intimated that
with their brooms and expert
weight judgment they could
control the destination of any
stone to a minimum of at least
seven feet.

On keen ice, I am inclined to
believe this statement; first,
because sweepers Lloyd, Glen
and Don, whom ! have seen in
action many times, are trained
and experienced observers of the

The phsychological import-
ance of sweeping is one of the
most potent forces in effective
team play. Any skip who
ignores it courts mutiny or men-
tal insurrection at least. Any
player who forgets it may never
notice that fewer skips are
looking in his direction as the
years go by. But the Campbell
brothers learned it from their
father years ago.
