Shaw who has one year of eligibility left in junior hockey ranks was the last junior player to be cut by the Nordiques. He is now back with the Kitchener. Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League and his chances of being called up by the parent club during this season are excellent. In cutting Shaw and Mike Eagles, another Kit- chener junior graduate, Quebec general manager Maurice Fillion said, "They are both still very young and they represent the future of our team. but. we don't want to rush them." While Shaw is back in Kitchener for his third year with the Rangers, Eagles has been sent to the Frederic- ton Express of the AHL. The Nordiques have had a good record in pre -season play especially Thursday's 8-0 rout over the Toronto Maple Leafs. 99 fame spreads wide We had a very interesting chat a week ago with a visitor from Australia who wanted especially to see three things while in Canada and he was able to do that. John Bendeich who is vice-principal of an agricultural college down under was in Canada to take a good look at the way colleges of agriculture operate in both Alberta and Ontario. When coming to Canada Bendeich said he par- ticularly wanted to see Niagara Falls, the Rocky Moun- tains and the Great Gretzky and he was able to fulfill all three ambitions. About 'Gretzky, the Australian said, "1 had the pleasure of seeing masters in a number of sports in- cluding cricket, golf, rugby, etc. but that has spread to hockey." He continued, "I know very little about the rules of ice hockey, but, it didn't take long to realize here was a young man who was a master with all the cool and calmness of a veteran." Hunting laws With the fall hunting season now well underway an article in a recent issue of the Angler and Hunter pro- vides a few interesting and humorous interludes. It is an outline of Immutable Hunting Laws as follows: A Hunting partner usually oversleeps Hip boots leak only in cold water When matches are fewest, firewood is wettest For a drippy nose, a wool glove beats any bandana The first place to look for game is the last place you would expect to find it. If the watrranty on your hunting bow is for orie year, you will fall and break it after 367 days. Your best flying arrow will plane badly if you shoot it at a record animal. In camp, the one who snores will fall asleep first. If anyone gets sick during a hunt, it will be the cook. If your stand is on the right fork of a trail and your partner's is on the left fork, all does will go up the right fork and all the bucks will choose the left fork. Other bush pilots can fly through a peasouper. Yours is held up by a 10,000 foot ceiling. Any accidental burn or cut during a hunt will be on one of the first three fingers of your drawing hand. Fences are always two inches higher than your .legs. Only the man who builds farm gates can understand them. It always takes longer to get there than to get hack. All trails have more uphill sections than downhill sections and the last hills are the highest Your shot was lucky. Mine was skillful. F'ans not happt, The response of some Detroit Lions fans to the club's very poor start in the National Football League this year has been very negative to say the least. In the Detroit Free Press Sunday and that was before the Lions lost again. columnist George Puscas printed some love letters from Lions supporters. One asked if there was any way the NF'i, could black out the Lions away games saying watching them. on television really spoils a nice Sunday afternoon. Another suggested Howard ('ossell- was always assured of a highlight of a Lion game for his Monday night show. That is a highlight of a play against Detroit and one other thought a good trade would be HiIty Sims of the Lions for Kirk Gibson of the Tigers. In answer to the blacking out of Detroit away games, writer Puscas said all television sets are equip- ped with off and on switches no doubt with the expecta- tion somebody might not want to watch the Lions The unprotected There were a number of surprises when the 21 Na- tional Hockey League teams announced their protec- tive list of 17 players and two goal tenders prior to Mon- day's draft.
