$1,000 Guard

In 1948 1 team from Char- lottetown composed of George Hawkins, skip; Rankine Mac- Laine, mate; Andrew Likely, sec- ond stone; and Wendall IWortb, lead; entered the competitions in Quebec City for the International Championships. 130 teams parti- cipated in this big bonspiel. The Island team only lost one’ game till they got to the finals and they

had to play a team from Minn- ‘

eapolis, U.S.A. This rink went under the name of the Polski Brothers. They were a profes- sional rink. .

Rankine MacLaine in his 45 years of curling considered this the most exciting and memor- able game of his lifetime. The score was 7-all coming home, with the Polski brothers having last stone. In the final end mate

Rankine had one stone laying ip after his last stone had been ".hro\vn. The Polski rink tried to knock it out but missed by a aiair. The competing’ teams had acen playing knockout game all the way so mate Rankine asked Hawkins to place a guard on their stone. He told Hawkins he would reward him with one thou- sand dollars if he could put a guard on this stone. Hawkins scored a perfect throw to place a guard and thus for-ce the3op- posing rink to try a draw. The Polski brothers tried but missed and so the Island rink brought home the Interiiational Curling Championship, which is also the first time that an Island senior
