When Tom Schaeffer won
the Swedish Curling
Championship two weeks
back, the cast for the tenth
annual World Curling
Championship in Winnipeg,
March “27-April 2, was
completed.

Schaeffer was the survivor
of a “4 team dimination
series that began a week ago
in Linkoping in south Sweden
The 24 teams, divided into
four groups of six teams
each, played a round-robin
series with the top two in
each group advancing to an
eight team double knockout
series,

Along the way, such
Swedish curling notables as

Kamp, last year's
Silver Broom winner, and
1973 Silver Broom champion,
Kjell OQscarius, were
eliminated.

Karlstad, 43, and Sahlin was
in turn upset by Schaeffer.

Oscarius’ 1973 world win-
ners, and were runners-up to’

While . Sweden was
deciding its Silver Broom
entry, 80 also were Canada
and the United States.

The Brier, held In Van-
couver last week, attracted a
record crowd of 63,851 for the
week, and they saw Alber-
ta's Mike Chernoff rink, with
Ed Lukowich throwing last
rock, take the Canadian title
with a 92 record.

The win for the Medicine
Hat team provided another
Brier first, for it marked the
first time ever that a former
schoolboy champion has
gone on to win the Brier. He
attended the 1961 High
School Championship where
he was runner-up, and then
won the title in 1962, At that

side: this year in the Brier,

-he threw last rocks while

Mike Chernoff handled ekip
duties.

In the U.S. finals, Bob
Nichols and his Wisconsin
foursome, took the American
title with a sterling record of
11 straight wins. Included In
that 11-0 record were vic-
tories over former U.S.

champion Bruce Roberts of
Minnesota and Bob LaBente
of North Dalota.

The Nichols rink has three
members of Bud Somer:

winners on It.
Somerville is missing, due to
open heart surgery which he
underwent last month, Tom
Locken, Bill Strum and
