Saturday, November 5, 1938 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 3 E.C.T.C. Downs Cats In Homecoming Tilt Despite the cheers of three thousand Students and alumni, the Western Carolina Catamounts bowed to the Eastern Carolina pirates on Hunter field here Homecoming Day. The ball game was hard fought throughout, the winning point being footed by Shelton for the pirates. The cats received the opening kick off and Yount took the kick on his own twenty and returned it to the thirty. Here the pirates held and forced the cats to punt. The pirates could not gain and Shelton kicked a long o which went out on the cats eightei The cats made a first down on t twenty-nine but were again forced Soon after the opening of the s ond quarter the pirates started drive which ended in a touchdown, pass from Shelton to Kidenhour across the goal line was the scoring play. Shelton kicked the extra point. In the closing minutes of this period the cats scored. Teddy Miller, cat center took the ball from the hands of Dudash and sprinted eighty-two yards for the score. Hampton's pass to Bryant for the coi complete. The half ended with the pirates ahead seven 1 In the second half the two teams threatened time after time but neither could muster the necessary power and fight to score, therefore, the last half was scoreless and the game ended seven to six in the pirates favor. Shelton and Dudash led tb<: pirate backfield while Smith and Wagner stood out in the line. For the cats every man played hard. The line was led by Morris, Miller, Johnson, Gray, and Higgins in the backfield. Every man did gocd work. Starting Line-ups: W. C. T. C.

C—Frank Walsh, Bretton Woods' professional enters the following as the most unique golf stroke during 1938. Play ing in the North and South Open championship in Pinehurst, N. C, h< hooked his iron off the 17th tee into i clum of trees, 25 yards to the left of the green. The ball landed in a nest of pine needles, smack up against thi trunk of a tree seven inches thick. Walsh's line to the pin was stymied by the tree. After giving this situation much thought and eliminating «ach club as being a weapon with which he could accomplish any suits, he took his niblick out and bent the steel shaft over his knee into a L shaped curve or bow. He took a swipe at the ball with this improvised club, wrapped it around the tree, picked up the ball and saw it hit the green and run into the hole for a The Eastern Carolina Pirates and the High Point Panthers were hard on the batting average last week, both pulling close wins out of the bag. Furman also upset the dope bucket by a highly favored N. C. State Wolf- pack at Raleigh seven to seven. Elon went a long way in their pull toward the North State Conference crown by beating a strong Appalachian team seven to six in a hard fought night game at Greensboro. Western Carolina fought hard but was unable to overcome a seven point lead built up by the Eastern Carolina in the first period. The Pirates drove sixty yard; the opening minutes of the game tc )re, then kicked the extra point that proved to be the winning margin of the game. In the second period Teddy Miller, Western Carolina ter, took the ball from the hands of Dodash on the Catamount's fourteen and raced eigty-six yards for a touchdown. An attempted pass for extra point was no good, and Eastern Carolina led seven to six. In the second half neither team could score, although both teams were in pay off ^rritory several ftimes. When in scoring distance of the goal both teams lacked the necessary drive and the period was a scoreless affair. Dodash and Shelton were outstanding for the Pirates while Miller, center, and Morris, left end, were outstanding both on offence and defence for the Catamounts. There will be some close games this week-end and right wrong this is the way I see 'em. Predictions— Elon to win over Catawba at Greensboro, N. C. Citadel to defeat U. of Richmond at Charleston, S.

People often ask the question, "Do we have mocking birds in the mountains?" We usually associate the mocking bird with orange blossoms and magnolia gardens of the more sunny climates. So when one hears the song of the mocking bird here on a chilly afternoon he may be a bit surprised. Yet it is true that we have a few on our campus. Yesterday evening one was perched from Apprentice]011 the t°Pmost branch .of a larSe Secerers Turn On Passing Pow p To Trim Western Carolina, At Due West Coach "Kid" Brewers Appalachian Mountaineers ran rather rough shod over a weaker, but hard fighting- James coached Catamount team their college field at Boone, N. C. The Cats started the game off by giving the Mountaineers a good when a fumble of the opening kick off was recovered by the Cats on the Mountaineers own ten yard line. This threat was broken up when the invaders pass to the end zone was intercepted by an Appalachian back. Until about the middle of the second quarter the two teams fought on even %>rms. Appalachian's first marker came then after a drive of thirty yards. Hudson plunged yard line and Walters placement was good, making the score 7 to 0 at the half. Shortly after the opening of the second half, Gaffney took the ball around end for twenty-nine yards, and the second score for the Mountaineers. The try for the extra point, however, failed. Doughtery added another six points by driving over from the one yard line, late in the third period. Walters kick for the extra point was good. Safrit tallied in the last play and also added the extra point end run. The entire Catamount team played good ball, but the weight and strength of the Mountaineers i for them to hold back. Appalachian made 14 first downs to the Cats one. The Catamount kickers held the edge with an average of 43 yards for the game. Starting Line-up: Cats Did You Think To Ask? . When was W. C. T.

The mocking bird has been praised for centuries by poets and writers. Among the many titles of honor bestowed on this bird are: "King of Songbirds," "National Songbird," "Brother to Keats and Beethoven." A lot of praise for a mere bird ? Yes, it well deserved praise. The mocking bird possess remarkable singing ability. Aside from its song it has been known to master perfectly the notes of thirty different species.

Fortune, surveying Southern conditions, declared that the 11-state area offered possibilities which called for a modification of any theory which we have arrived at concerning the South previously. Twenty-nine per cent of the 1937 investments in new industrial plants were placed in the South, Fortune said. The South continues to offer sectional poverty, it went on, but that is principally because both agriculture and industry are "tributary rather than primary." 'There is no good reason why the South cannot be built up," declared the magazine. Despite the belief of some that it too late for Southern industries to catch up with the rest of the nation, the article said that a part of the Southern income would raise the level of the rest of the country, without damaging economically any other state. The South has unlimited opportuni- is for advancement within the next 20 years, Thurmond Chatham, Winston-Salem manufacturer, asserted. The Chatham blanket manufacturing company president commented on an article in the November issue of Fortune magazine, dealing with economic conditions in the South. "The main thing the South has to do," he declared, "is to wake up to the fact that we have the opportunity with the climate and vast natural resources available to unlimited possibilities of development in the South within the next 20 years." He added that with certain prosperity, the South would lead the world in the future.

Apparently the bird takes delight in teaching himself for it repeats the notes again and again. Not satisfied with merely stealing the songs of the other birds the mocking bird adds another trick to his singing. He flies through the and down almost lighting on a post or tree then rising quickly again, all the while singing clear sweet note This is indeed a lovely perfarmane and one who does not thrill to it must indeed be deaf and blind to nature's beauty. The mocking bird is very sociable and apparently likes to be near dwellings where he can perform for the public eye. His slender, quick grayish body with white primaries and outer tail feathers is a familiar sight to many. In nesting season if cat, dog, or human comes near the nest he ' met by a courageous bird who fears nothing and will fight to the finish. Often the nests are robbed and the fledglings put in cages to be sold. This is a cruel practice and "the bird in the bush is worth many in the hand." At Cullowhee we can "listen to the | mocking bird" all winter, that is if the bird chooses to sing.

Burris, Rob- •tson and Chapman in a series of line bucks got to the 6-yard line and then a pass, Burris to Edwards, was good for a touchdown. About midway of the second period a 28-yard pass, Burris to Edwards, put the ball on the 19-yard line and set the stage for Erskine's second touchdown. A line buck netted four yards and Plemmons intercepted pass on his own four-yard line. Cot- ten, Erskine flankman, blocked Crowder kick and McCain fell on the ball for the touchdown. Herring converted from placement for the extra point. Moffat Long intercepted a W.C.T.C. pass in midfield late in the same period and ran to the 29-yard line, and tw,o passes, Burris to Edwards, netted another touchdown. Herring's kick for the extra point was low. Erskine made its last touchdown the final quarter. Near the end of the game Burris tossed Edwards 18-yard pass, placing the ball on W. C. T. C. 34-yard stripe. Line bucks moved the ball up to the 22-yard line and the Burris-to-Edwards passing combination clicked again resulting Herring's try for extra point failed. The Lineups: Pos.
