Shaw who wes a member of the 1981-82 Memorial Cup champion Kitchener Rangers had been contacted by the Buffalo Sitbres through Kit- chener coach Joe Crozier. Players under the age of 18 cannot be contacted by NHL teams. Dave celebrated his 18th birthday on May 25 which didn't leave much time for negotiations. Buffalo getting an extra first round draft choice in a trade with Calgary indicated they would pick Scott Stevens and Shaw sixth and ninth, respectively, but those plans were upset when Washington took Stevens as the fifth choice. When Shaw was picked by the Nordiques a represen- tative of the team came to his seat and took him immediate- ly to a press conference and Dave responded well by say- ing, "I didn't expect to be picked so early and I'm hap- py to be chosen by Quebec." The front page headline in Thursday's Quebec Journal said, "Les Nordiques se con- tentent du'un "petit" de 6'2"'. Another Quebec City paper Le Soleil headed the front page.

It's Filion continued, "I don't want to brush him aside and would like to have him play next year, but, I think another year of junior would bring him along better." The paper Le Soleil said David Shaw was not bothered by the language and said he would play well in hockey and the rest will follow. The Nor- diques have already made ar- rangements to have Dave Shaw and Mike Eagles room together providing they make the team at the same time. Eagles along with another Ranger Mike Hough were also drafted by Quebec. Dave said he was pleased to have two of his Ranger mates tr.ying out for the same team in Quebec.

Quebec officials were delighted when Exeter mayor Bruce Shaw said in French that he was born in Montreal. One quickly said to reporters, - "Make sure you have it down that he said that in French." The Quebec paper went on to say, "Senior Shaw in talk- ing about the difference in Anglo-Saxon and French cultures said, "Senior politi- cians exaggerate our genuine differences to the detriment of everybody. " The other Quebec paper .said, "Papa Shaw talked about being born in Montreal • in labouring French."

Wins over Lucan Astros 7-0, Ilderton 4-1 and Bryanston 6-5 increased their current win streak to• seven games. The llth win also leaves them one short of last season's total wins of 12. • .Against the Astros Thurs- day, it was Doug Todd at his best once again, gas he allow- ed only two singles, struck out 10 and walked two in gaining his fifth win of the season against one loss with a 7:0 shut out. Paul Wrath took the loss, while giving up 11 hits, strik- ing out two and walking one. Dan Heywood led the way with a triple and single. Doug Pearson, Paul McKnight, and Malcolm McAlpine each had two singles, with lone singles going to Doug Todd. Will Lamb and Garry MacMaster. McNair's bunt single and , Glanville's single were all the Astros hits. '• Travelling to Ilderton usually means a tough game for Exeter and Friday night was no exception. However Brian Hodgins rose to the oc- casion (and some revenge for a shakey start against Lieury' with a hyo -hit perfor- mance and a 4-1 win. Hodgins struck out ten and walked two for his fourth win of the season. Siddall, for Ilderton allowed eight hits, struck out two and walked three for the loss that lead to three of the four runs. The eight hits off Siddall came from eight dif- ferent players. Exeter's third win of the week was possibly their worst game in a winning way of the whole season. Bryanston's Gilmour allowed only six hits. but three came in the 5th along with two walks and two Min errors plated five runs that saw Exeter erase a 2-0 lead and go on for a 6-5 win. Brad Marsden started on the mound for Exeter. He allow- ed seven hits, struck out five and walked none in gaining. the win, but needed relief help from Hodgins, who gave up two hits :.truck out seven and walked one to get the save. Gilmour allowed six hits, struck out four and walked six for the loss. Kevin Doupe led Exeter with two singles. Will • • Lamb and Dan Heywood each doubled while singles went to Doug Todd and Brian Hodgins. The Saveway crew play in Lieury Tuesday, and at home this Thursday against league leading Nairn at 9 p.m. Hope to see a better fan support for this very important game. Fan support so far has been limited to player's wives and girl friends, but with their record the team deserves a better turn out. or soccer win in The Exeter soccer club sent a team of 10 and 11 year olds to Kincardine Saturday to play in a tournament there. The team coached by Shawn Rotteau and 'Herman Wulterkens left an impression on the participating teams and coaches of being an ex- cellent and clean soccer team with a desire to win. • After a day of fun and three tough soccer games Exeter came away with a second place overall. The first game against Port Elgin- brought the Exeter boys a 5-0 win. Some solid team play put- Exeter on lop 1-0 in the first half and they` then took complete control in the second half and finished at 5-0. This win put Exeter in the championship group. Scoring for. Exeter were: Chad Miller and Tim vanDam tw leach and Mike Ranlund. Assists went to Henri de Bruyn. and Sisavay Sengkhounmany. In the second game against Walkerton, Exeter dominated play throughout the game but needed too many chances. They only managed to score on one of these chances. Walkerton made a lot more of their opportunities and scored three goals on only three chances. A tough loss for our boys. The lone Exeter goal was scored by Sisavay ' Sengkhounmany. The Exeter club however - tourne y. bounced back in the next game against Goderich and scored three times in a game that again was dominated by excellent passing and heads up play by the whole team. Scorers in this game were: Toni Ralph. Chad Miller and Henri de Bruyn on a penalty shot. So after a beautiful day of soccer in which the play of the Exeter team was lauded by everyone, the boys and their coaches were awarded the silver medal. • Special mention goes to Henri deBruyn and Chris Bierling Who both played in this tournament some of the bet soccer seen by 10-11 year old players.
