USA, Johnson wins first men's senior title

Team USA with  Larry Johnson as skip became the first World Senior Champions, defeating Canada with 8-2 in the final. The game was probably decided in the 3rd end when Ron Westcott of Canada lost the balance in his delivery allowing USA a steal to a 5-0 lead (see picture). The world champions are Larry Johnson, Stan Vinge, George Godfrey, Bill Kind and the alternate Steve Brown.

Canadians got the job Dunn...

Canada with skip Anne Dunn never gave Switzerland a chance in the women's final crusing to a 9-3 win after seven ends. The first women's senior World Champions are Anne Dunn, Lindy Marchuk, Gloria Campbell, Carol Thompson.
