Halfback Paul Monroe, who scored three times for the winners, turned in the longest run of the game in the third period when he took off on a 72-yard end run for the ECTC end zone. A 54-yard run by Halfback Harvey Duke with an intercepted pass set up Western Carolina's second- period score. Monroe took the ball over from the two where Duke had been stopped.
