THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER, 8, 1941 - - Western Carolina SPORTS - - Intercollegiate Sports Review By WALTER ROBERTS The Catamounts thrilled a large homecoming crowd here last Saturday when they held the High Point Panthers scoreless and chalked up two marks for a 12 to 0 victory. The victorius march of the Catamounts began on the first play of the game when Leagan, 160 pound fullback, took the kickoff on his own five yard line and dashed across the field for a 95 yard run for the first score. With good blocking on the part of his comrades Leagan ran the first half of the field, in winning the game. With Shuford benched because of a bad knee, the Cat backfield was expected to be crippled, but Bradburn filled the gap splendidly with nice driving; chalking up some fine runs. From the first play of the game until the game ended the Cat backfield clicked on all four. The Catamount forward wall led every offensive play with nice interference and covered up well on defense. In general the Panthers played a swell game, but just couldn't get to clicking against the Cats' stalwart forward wall and fast, shifty backfield.

FOURTH FLOOR TROUNCES THIRD Tuesday, October 21. The heavy Fourth Floor team rang up four quick touchdowns in the first half to crush the outclassed Third Floor team to the tune of 28-7. The Fourth Floor team was pushed all over the field the last half, but held in the pinches to take the game handily. The Fourth Floor team marched from the kick-off. A short pass over center to B. Price resulted in the first score. Long passes to Haney racked up two more. A basketball pass over center to Price made the fourth.

On the second down they drove for a first down and Gudger covered a fumble ball and the Catamounts began another march but lost the ball on the High Point 30 yard line on downs. The Panthers crashed through the Catamount defense for another first down and then kicked to the Catamount's 25. Late in the first period Gaylor, Catamount center intercepted a 10 yard pass on his own ten and brought it back to the 20. Smith broke loose on the second down for a 25 yard, ran and on the next play Leagan dashed for the goal again, but the marker was not counted because he stepped out of bounds on the High Point 15. Early in the second period Smith got loose on the Panther's 20 yard line and ran to the 2 after which Bradburn bucked the line for the marker. Gudger tried for the conversion, but failed.

Coach Whatley's machine threatened in the opening period and again in the third by driving to the Emory and Henry five yard line. But their chances of scoring were shattered by a fumble and an intercepted pass. Smith, Leagan, and Meredith were the outstanding players for Western Carolina in the back- field. In the line Gudger, Gaylor and Barnes stood out. Kilbourne and Edmundson were tops for Emory and Henry in the line backfield while Kuester and Stallard stood out in the line. Scores by quarters: W.

Short after short pass netted yards upon yards until E. Hooper took a short one and raced 20 yards for a touchdown. He caught the extra point also. About midway the second half, Second Floor took advantage of a couple of breaks to .core—a short pass to H. Howard by Allison. Then High School went on the march again which ended in a short pass to E. Hooper for the High School's second marker. The lineup: High School Second Floor P. Crawford LE Maxwell'Fourth Floor C.

Emory and Henry received the kick-off on their own 20 and drove to Western Carolina's 40. Asbury faded and threw a five yard pass to Kilbourne who ran across for the first touch down. The try for extra point failed. The Wasps scored again just before the half when Edmund- son covered Smith's fumble on the Catamount's 20 yard line. A twelve yard run and a five yard penalty moved the ball to the Cat's 2 where the visitors scored on a wide end sweep. Asbury kicked the extra point. During the third quarter Emory and Henry's star, Edmundson, intercepted Smith's 2 and raced to yard line. Tuesday, Oct. 27—The unpredictable Third Floor team barely managed to eke out a 7-6 win over the weak First Floor team today. Early in the first half, Crawford took a ten yard pass from Wright on his own 25 and outdistanced his pursuers for the Third's lone touchdown. McElroy caught the extra point, which was to be the game. A few plays later, Cowan caught a long pass on the Third Floor 30 and scored the First's only marker. After that the game was a dull seesaw.
