EXETER - After ten Western Ontario Soccer League games, the Exeter Centennials are still looking for their first win.

Bluewater and Chatham Express continue to dom- inate the league. On Sunday, Chatham City, who are just a couple points ahead of Exeter in the standings, scored once in each half. "We're just not putting the ball in the net. We're getting our chanc- es," said Exeter coach Dick Lord. The Centennials will try and get their first win of the season this Sunday when they host the Sarnia Eagles at 4 p.m. "I think it's attitude," said Lord for trying to figure out all the loss- es. "Go out and play, take it in stride and go home," he said.

The town alone has on average 250 individuals involved in the game at all levels. But while the number of participants is very high, recogni- tion of the sport is at best low, de- spite the fact that some area youths are leaving noticeable impressions. Marty DeBruyn Aside from their normal house league ties to the Lucan and Dis- trict Minor SoccerAssoc o iati n many young players well on their way playing for teams in the city of London. Mark Bell, Jeff MacLean and Scott Rasenberg have been using their talents to help London Marco- ni's under -14 squad. Mau Szabo is playing for the 11 -and -under Hun- garian team, while older brother Nick, together with 19 -year-old Mark Lynn, is bolstering a strong men's first division squad with the London Hungarians. A host of others have -been-invit- ed been-invit-ed to try out for teams as well, and the sport is not limited to males. Sharon DeBruyn has just come back from a tourney in Portage, Michigan, with the West London United 18 -and -under girls team. Meanwhile, at the' age of 15, Marty DeBruyn is currently play- ing the highest calibre of soccer for his age category. After nine years in the Lucan league, DeBruyn made the tough move in May to crack the London Youth Air Onta- rio boys' 15 -and -under team. "I took a while to make up my mind whether or not I really want- ed it," said DeBruyn. By the time I went the team was pretty well set and the coach gave me a week -and - a -half to prove myself."

By the time his tryout was over, the youngster had secured himself a spot on the roster. Since. joining . the team, he has been moved to several new positions in the lineup, including defense, sweeper and stopper, a big adjustment for some- one who had spent the previous nine years as a centre midfielder. Recently, he moved a little closer to home as his coach shifted him to right midfield for a tournament. DeBruyn immediately responded, scoring four goals in his next three games. Adjustment has been a big part of the move to London, as DeBruyn has suddenly had to become accus- tomed to travel, and a lot of it. Practices are held in London twice a week, while home games are in London every Saturday, and away games every Sunday. With a regu- lar season schedule that includes matches in Windsor and Toronto, it makes for a lot of miles on the odometer from the family farm just outside of Exeter. "Mom and dad are .pretty happy I'm playing, but I don't think they like quite that much travel," De- Bruyn confides. "But next year I71 be old enough to drive myself which will make it less hectic for them." In addition, his tournament schedule is astounding. DeBruyn has just returned from a week long trip to Minnesota, where 88 teams from 17 nations took part in the USA Cup. His squad finished 3-0 in their pool, knocking off the likes of Oklahoma, Kelix from Minneap- olis and Eastside of St Paul's, Min- nesota. Following a bye, they won a 2-1 squeaker over Calgary before bowing out in the quarterfinals to Westside of St. Paul's. All in all, the team finished between fourth and eighth. The tournament itself was a gala affair, featuring an Olympic style opening ceremonies with a parade of colours.... The grand .,marshal was Brazilian soccer star P616. "It was huge," said DeBruyn of the tournament. "And so were the players. The team that won the tournament was from Bermuda, and they didn't have anyone under six feet" The team has also come on strong of late, moving into second place in their division. Aside from that, they have advanced to the Beni -finals of the Ontario Cup, and are also in their third stage of play - downs for the NSL Cup. "The competition is really tough here," said DeBruyn. "We just played Chincquacousy and they had the kid who broke Ben John- son's high school track record. We lost 3-0, and he scored all three goals." But while his new success lies in the big city, DeBruyn is not apt to forget his roots. Watching a recent 17 -and -under game in the Lucan league, he confided that he felt the pangs of not being on lite field with the team mates he grew up with. He has already turned down offers to play indoor soccer over the win- ter, and plans to instead return to die lineup of the Exeter Legionaires bantam hockey team to be with his friends. "Besides, if I played soccer year- round 1 might get sick of it," said the youth. "And I still love hock- ey." In store for DeBruyn, and many other of the areas finest players, arc the hopes of an eventual scholar- ship to help pay for a university ed- ucation. Whether or not the long term value materializes remains to be seen, but for now the immediate rewards seem enough to keep this clan of athletes motivated. Said DeBruyn, "I'm still having a lot of fun."
