BASEL, Switzerland -- Canadas Glenn Howard has won in blowout fashion
and had a few close calls at the world mens curling championship. Youth Julio Jones Jersey
.
He has come through every time and remains a favourite to play for his
fourth career world title on the weekend.
Howard preserved his unbeaten record Tuesday by winning a 7-6 nailbiter
over Switzerland before posting an 8-5 win over Denmark. Both opponents
are playoff longshots but still gave Howard a stiff challenge ahead of
upcoming games against powerhouse rinks Sweden and Scotland.
The three-time world champion said the quality of opposition is so high
at the competition that every game is a real test.
"When other teams play well, you can only do so much," he said.
"Everybody keeps thinking youre supposed to blow people out. You cant --
if the other team makes a lot of shots, thats the way it works.
"The bottom line is you just try to make one more than the next guy and
get those wins."
Entering with a 1-4 record, Switzerlands Benoit Schwarz had nothing to
lose against Howard. The 20-year-old vice-skip played like it and came
tantalizingly close to an upset.
Fuelled by a vocal contingent of about 1,000 local supporters at St.
Jakobshalle, the host team forced an extra end before Howard won it with
a final draw to the button.
Howard shot just 74 per cent but teammates Wayne Middaugh, Brent Laing
and Craig Savill each shot over 95 per cent.
"Thats always been the key to our success," Howard said. "I really
believe that. Very rarely will we ever have two guys falter. One guy
might be down a little bit. But thats the key to our team -- one guy
gets down and the other three pick him up."
The Canadian skip then defeated Rasmus Stjerne of Denmark to improve to
7-0.
Schwarz, who threw fourth stones after Swiss skip Jan Hauser, said it
was quite intimidating to play one of the sports all-time greats.
"I tried not to think about it," he said. "That almost worked."
A matchup that looked like a gimme for Canada turned out to be one of
the most exciting games of the tournament.
The young Swiss side almost pulled out a win in the 10th end when a
triple takeout nearly scored two. The single point tied it but Howard
used the hammer to his advantage in the extra end.
"I thought we outcurled them the whole game but still I missed a couple
of key ones and they made some great ones coming home," Howard said. "It
ended up being a good, good finish.
"Fortunately we had last rock in the extra end and we capitalized."
The daunting task of facing the veteran Canadian rink didnt seem to faze
Schwarz at all.
The slight youngster, who won world junior gold in 2010, was remarkably
composed throughout. If a shot didnt go his way, hed simply flip his
shaggy mop of dark hair to the side and carry on.
Even the prospect of a game-ending time-clock violation didnt ruffle
him.
Schwarz was surveying the house before his final shot of the 10th end
when his teammates frantically shouted at him to return to the other end
of the sheet.
He had a scant 25 seconds to get down the ice, grab the stone and throw
one of the biggest shots of his life.
A teammate furiously cleaned the rock while Schwarz raced to the hack.
With the fans on edge, Schwarz took one last glance, got in position and
released the stone with exactly three seconds left.
He went for the victory and came about an inch away from getting it.
"They called the style of game that they had nothing to lose," Howard
said. "Very aggressive and I didnt see that coming."
Switzerland took advantage of a poor Howard draw in the fourth end to
score a pair and added a single in the eighth for a 5-4 lead. Canada
fought back with two points in the ninth end before the late drama.
"To lose by 10 points or in an extra end is the same," Schwarz said. "So
for sure were a bit disappointed."
Canada moved into sole possession of first place on a day when two of
the contenders suffered losses. The United States crushed previously
unbeaten Sweden 10-1 and France upset Scotland 5-3.
But Scotland rallied to edge China 7-6 in 10 ends in the late draw to
create a three-way tie for second with a 5-2 record. The Chinese and
Sweden also have five wins, with the Swedes having lost two straight
after dropping an 8-3 decision to Norway in late action.
Norway and New Zealand are tied for fifth with 4-3 records.
Round-robin play continues through Thursday night. The medal games are
scheduled for Sunday.
There were pockets of flag-waving Canadian fans throughout the
9,000-seat venue. A group of beaming Howard family members and friends
let out a cheer from the top of the grandstand after the victories.
Howard scored two points in the ninth end against Denmark and won it
with a single in the 10th. His shooting improved to 86 per cent in the
afternoon game, a significant jump from his Switzerland percentage.
"I wasnt sharp today, I was a little fatigued," Howard said of his early
effort. "I dont know if the jetlag was getting to me or not. The best
news is my guys made everything in front of me.
"They didnt waver and fortunately I made my last one. But the Swiss boys
played really well."
Canada shot 91 per cent as a team to 80 per cent for Switzerland.
"I think every team can beat every other team," Schwarz said. "For sure
there are some favourites like Sweden, Canada and Scotland. But in the
end, in one game anything can happen."

CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Numb. Grieving. Distracted. The Cowboys were all
those things on Sunday, dealing with the death of one teammate and the
tribulations of another.
Winners, too, though they hardly felt like it.
Dan Bailey kicked a 40-yard field goal as time ran out, sending the
Cowboys to a 20-19 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals that ended a
tough afternoon with a little bit of relief and their playoff chances
enhanced.
Didnt last long, though. There will be a lot more emotional days ahead
in Dallas.
"Its a hard, hard situation were in," quarterback Tony Romo said.
"Theres no playbook for this sort of thing in life."
The Cowboys overcame a nine-point deficit in the closing minutes behind
Romo, who held his hand over his heart during a moment of silence to
honour teammate Jerry Brown before the kickoff. The linebacker died in
an auto accident early Saturday.
Defensive lineman Josh Brent, who was driving, was still jailed in Texas
on Sunday, charged with intoxication manslaughter.
The Cowboys (7-6) learned about Browns death on their flight to
Cincinnati on Saturday. Coach Jason Garrett told his team that the best
way to honour him was to play well in a game with playoff implications
for both teams.
One of the visitors metal lockers at Paul Brown Stadium had a strip of
white athletic tape with "53 JERRY BROWN" attached to the top, a wooden
stool inside sitting upside-down. Browns No. 53 jersey was on the
sideline during the game -- defensive tackle Jason Hatcher held it up
after Baileys kick decided it.
It wasnt much of a celebration by an emotionally spent team.
"I dont remember crying this much other than maybe the day I was born,"
defensive lineman Marcus Spears said. "With Joshs situation and Jerry
being gone, you felt it."
Players couldnt keep the tragedy out of their thoughts during the game,
finding their minds wandering on the bench.
"I rarely let my emotions get the best of me," fullback Lawrence Vickers
said. "Today they did, but this was the place to do it."
Owner Jerry Jones described his team as grieving when it took the field.
It was the second consecutive week that an NFL team was playing a day
after losing a teammate. Kansas City beat Carolina 27-21 one day after
linebacker Jovan Belcher shot his girlfriend and then himself at the
Chiefs practice complex.
When Baileys kick ended it, the Cowboys had a lot of thoughts racing
through their heads.
"The last 24 hours has really been something Ive never experienced,"
Romo said. "Its something Ive never experienced, and I think a lot of
guys will tell you that. Its just been a roller coaster of emotions.
"It was a very -- and still is -- a very difficult thing that thhis
football team is dealing with. Brett Favre Falcons Jersey.
"
The Cowboys salvaged the game by scoring on their last two drives
against the Bengals (7-6), who had won four in a row and had a chance to
move into position for an AFC wild-card berth with a victory.
Romo threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Dez Bryant with 6:35 to go.
Anthony Spencers sack of Andy Dalton forced a punt, and Romo completed
four passes on the drive to Baileys winning kick.
Romo finished 25 of 43 for 268 yards with a touchdown, an interception
and three sacks. DeMarco Murray converted a third-and-5 play to extend
the final drive and ended up with 53 yards on 21 carries.
Newcomer Josh Brown kicked field goals of 25, 33, 25 and 52 yards for
Cincinnati, which wasted an opportunity to move ahead of Pittsburgh for
the second AFC wild card.
"They came here in an emotional situation, and you knew they were going
to fight all the way," Bengals offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth said.
"That game meant a lot to them. They played great."
Dallas played a sloppy game until the closing minutes -- nothing out of
character there -- and had a few especially bad moments.
Defensive co-ordinator Rob Ryan went onto the field and yelled at a
Bengals player who had said something to the Cowboys bench, drawing an
unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Dallas in the third quarter. Dallas
also was penalized for 12 men on the field during the drive, which ended
with Browns third field goal and a 16-10 Cincinnati lead.
In the end, a defence that has allowed only three touchdowns in the last
four games couldnt hold on. And the Bengals made it tough on themselves
by using all three of their timeouts early in the second half, leaving
them unable to stop the clock on Dallas final drive.
Dalton was 20 of 33 for 206 yards with five sacks, one touchdown and an
interception that Brandon Carr returned 37 yards to set up Murrays
1-yard touchdown dive in the second quarter.
NOTES: Baileys game-winner was his second of the season. His 38-yarder
beat Cleveland in overtime. It was Baileys sixth game-winning FG, second
in Cowboys history behind Rafael Septiens seven. ... Bryant caught four
passes for 50 yards, leaving him with 1,028 yards for the season. Its
his first 1,000-yard receiving season and the first by a Cowboy since
2009 (Miles Austin and Jason Witten). ... Bryant has caught a TD pass in
five straight games, the longest streak of his career. ... Romos 25
completions gave him a club-record 349 for the season. He completed his
last 12 throws the previous game and his first five on Sunday, setting a
club record with 17 straight completions. ... Bengals RB
BenJarvus Green-Ellis ran for 89 yards on 12 carries, breaking his
streak of three straight 100-yard games.
