Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Larry McGrath, three time Canadian mixed curling champion, is well aware of the abilities of women curlers. Still, he says, Eddie'll beat her. If he plays anywhere near his capability, he'll win easily. There's no doubt in my mind. There's more finesse in top calibre men's play, although the women have made great improvement in that area over the past 10 years. The one thing that everyone is hoping for is a good, clean game. No cheap shots and may the best men-women win.
