“We chose New Zealand to

“Another thing is that It is

| FasTB4tL . | Shaw leaves power:

struggles behind him

HAMILTON (CP) — Bob
Shaw's resignation as
general manager of the
troubled Hamilton Tiger-
Cats ended a power struggle
within the Canadian Football
League club.

Earlier Tuesday before his
departure was announced,
Shaw apparently made a
pitch to owner Harold
Ballard to oust head coach
John Payne, who, the

. general manager felt, wasn’t

the most of players
Shaw had recruited,

The Ticats were 1-3 in the
regular season and @4 in
exhibition play before
Wednesday hnight’s game
against Toronto, Argonauts,

Ballard, however, was
unwilling to give Payne his
walking papers despite
persistent rumors that the
coach’s fate — as well as

‘those of Hamilton's rookle

quarterbacks, Ed Smith and

Dave Marler — depended’

largely on how the club fared
in Toronto.
* “He (Shaw) wanted to be
the coach,” Ballard said
Wednesday. “There isn’t
room for two coaches and I
thougit that Payne, given
the chance, might work out
all right.” ,

Shaw was paid off for the
duration of his contract,
which expires next January.

- “We actually didn’t fire
him,’ Ballard said of Shaw’s
decision to sever his con-
nections with the team that
began on Jan. 1, 1976. “He
thought he was being
disgraced and one thing and
another — which I guess he
actually was — so he thought
the best thing was to pack it
in. T agreed."

Shaw refused to elaborate
on his apparent -disen-
chantment with the way the
Ticats were being handled on
the field, ala

when the Tiger-Cats finished

with an 8-8 redird-atid lost:

Shaw played several years
of professional foatball in the
United States before joining
Calgary Stampeders of the
CFL in the early 1950s and

led the league in scoring 1951
and 1952,

He held several coaching
jobs in the Nationa! Football
League before jolning the
Ticats, He also did two-year
coaching stlnts with both

and Toronto Argonauts in ¢
mid-1060s.

‘ Ballard said he expects
Shaw's departure will im-
prove the Ticats. :

"“T think this is going to

he said, “We're not that.

. defensively we're not bad.”

Payne would not comment
on hiarelationship with Shaw
except to say the resignation
was 6 surprise.

“but I wouldn't say I was
