point. The game was tied after ten ends when Ernie Richardson made two mistakes. However, Canada replied in the eleventh when they scored two of their own. Scotland could only muster one point in the final end, losing the match, and Canada clinching the series with two games to play. Draw 4 Game 4 was played on 11 March in Falkirk. Canada played the draw game early on, as per an experiment to please the Scottish skip. This frustrated Richardson, who was used to a hitting game. However, he was duly rewarded with four points in the second end and five in the fourth. The Richardsons then reverted to a takeout game, and the Scots scored singles in five of the next six ends, to come within one point of the Canadians after ten. Richardson then scored one in eleven to be up two in the last end. The Canadians played a good end, and the Scots made key misses leaving Willie Young a draw against four on his last to make it a one-point loss, but came up short, giving up four. Only a few fans watched the match, which was on at the same time as a women's bonspiel. Draw 5 The final game was also played in Falkirk on 11 March. The game was shortened to ten ends. Young decided to play the hitting game, but it was not his style, as Canada soon amassed a five-point lead after four ends.
