Original Toronto Star caption: Concentrating on game: Brian Turner, who is playing vice-skip for Peter Mathews of Thornhill in the 72nd annual Canada Life bonspiel, watches intently as a rock approaches the house at Royal Canadian Curling Club. There are still 124 rinks alive in the main event of the bonspiel. Play continues tonight and each night this week. The semi-finals and finals will be played Saturday at Leaside Club.
