Saturday, Octcber 31, 1953 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 3 Catamounts Drop Fourth Game By 1 Point Lenoir-Rhyne Bears On Long End Of 21-20 Score The extra point became even more unpopular with the Cats as a blocked conversion attempt in the third quarter rendered the Catamounts on the short end of a 21-20 score to the Lenoir-Rhyne Bears. This was the fourth loss of the season for the Cats by the one- point margin. The Cats launched a 96-yard drive early in the opening period, with Fred Henry and Jim Garrison showing the way. This march was climaxed by a four-yard jaunt around end by Henry for the first touchdown. Jim Pappas chipped in the conversion and the Cats forged into the lead. The lead was short-lived, however, as the Bears marched to the Cats 11 in the second quarter. Two plays later Walt Corpwell scored from the two and Billy Eanes kicked the extra point. The third quarter determined the contest. The Bears kicked off to the Cats' 26 and on the first play from scrimmage, Buddy Rector took a handoff from Tommy Lewis, skirted his right end and raced 74 yards for the Catamounts' touchdown. The Cats' line opened up and Pappas' extra point attempt was blocked, this later meaning the ball game. Lenoir-Rhyne added TDs in the third and fourth quarters and the Cats slammed over one in the waning minutes of the game, but it was too late and the Bears came Third Moore Takes Championship In Field Hockey Intramurals Third Floor Moore took the championship title in field hockey as they rolled over Second Madison 2 to 1. It was a hard played ball game and both teams fought to the end. In the first half it was Becky Jessup against Eleanor Silver but too much Silver got Third Moore off to a good start by scoring one in the early half. Shirley Cox and Dee Thompson did some great playing for Second Madison, but just couldn't stop Harriet Gibson and Julia Calhoun. Naomi Cox, Emma Ramsey, and Lois Burleson kept the hard-driving Madisons from scoring in the first half. Julia Calhoun, Moore's center forward, did some great playing along with Eleanor Silver, who scored out on top with a 21-20 decision.

A number of Southeastern Conference schools are unhappy about the Orange Bowl committee's talk of a yearly tie-up with the new Atlantic Coast and Big Seven conferences. It would mean that Southeastern Conference schools would be automatically eliminated from that New Year's contest. As things look now, If the agreement is reached, it may be Duke and Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 1954 Earl Sande, the grand old man of racing, is making a valiant attempt at a comeback as a rider.

OWLS 25, MAURADERS 12 The Third Robertson "Owls" moved into a play-off berth by defeating the Mauraders of Reynolds by the score of 25 to 12. Captain Singleton and Jocko Martin were the offensive threats for the third straight game. The Owls defense sparked by Raby, Martin and Singleton held the Mauraders to only 12 points while they were racking up two safeties and picking up three touchdowns. Miller and Crisp were the key men for the Reynolds team but just could not get an offense moving. BIG TEN STAB . . .

PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLUB MEETS The first meeting of the Physical Education Club was held October 15, 1953, at 7:30 p. m. in the Student Union Building. The meeting was called to order by the president, John Hansil, who extended a welcome to all new and old members. Following this, the president reviewed the Constitution of the Physical Education Club. At this meeting Charles Howell was elected vice president. A committee ior Homecoming plans was chosen. The members of this committee were Harmon Simpson, chairman; Ronald Ed- monston, Bob Ray, Joe Ware, Dwaine Simpson, Pat Mackey, and Martha Hyatt. Mrs. Paul Ritter, Dr. Quinn Constantz, Coach Jim Gudger, Coach Tom Young, and Mr. F. T. Siewert, all staff members of the Health and Physical Education Department, were introduce the club. These staff members served as a panel to answer any question the group might ask about the school, athletics or the curricu lum. The speaker for the evening was Mr. F. T. Siewert, who gave an interesting talk on "Suggestions to Majors." There were 85 members present for the first meeting. Pirates Take Homecoming Game 26-7 Eastern Carolina's big Pirates swept to a 26-7 victory over the Cats to make their fourth conference win of the year. The Cats put up a good fight against the Pirates' heavy weight. Coach Young's boys were outweighed 30 pounds to the man, but this could not be told by the 7-7 score at the end of the first half. The Pirates scored the first touchdown of the ball game in the latter part of the first quarter on a pass from Cherry to Hodges. Cherry's kick for the extra point was good. The Cats came back hard the second quarter to fight their way to the seven-yard line where Buddy Rector went over on an off tackle play. Pappas made the extra point with a beautiful kick. The second half was a different story. The weight disadvantage began to show as the Cats let the Pirates score once in the third quarter and twice in the final quarter. With the outstanding passing of Cherry the Pirates rolled on to keep their record clean.

The regular time game ended in a tie and under the intramural rule four downs are given to each team and the team moving the ball toward the others goal is declared the winner. One point was given to the "Clowns" for advancing the ball four yards on their last down. The Clowns led until the final minutes of the game but never ever six points. The running of Crazy Legs Wright and the passing of Rigsbee kept the Tom Cats in the game. Conditioning finally caught the triple-threat back (Wright) and gave the Clowns the break that they needed. The Tom Cats stars included Wright, Rigs- beebee, Greene, Martin, and Wii- kins.

The Knights .under the direction of quarterback Simpson moved to a quick 18 to 0 lead and were never threatened from that point. The entire squad played superb offensive and de- iensive ball in holding the previous high scoring Clowns to only seven points for the first half. Quarterback Simpson using the Split-T formation thrilled the large crowd by his frequent long runs, one going for 60 yards and a Uuch- down. The "Old Men" of Stowe, Price, Jordan, and Bryant could not get their scoring punch together to keep the score in their favor. son of Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie Hansil of 12 S.

At times the players got Calhoun mixed up with the ball because she stayed on the ground most of the time. Congratulations Calhoun, you did not get knocked out. The second half was even more exciting as both teams were fighting for that championship. Regina Ferguson and Eleanor James, along with the rest of the powerful seven from Madison, prevented Moore from scoring in the second half. Then Becky Jessup took over and helped Shirley Cox, center half for Madison, to go all the way and score. When the score stood 2 to 1 in Moore's favor, everyone played hard to get that ball, but there can be only one team win a championship. Julia Calhoun, captain of the winning team, and Shirley Cox of the losing team, did a very good job with their teams. Take a bow Third Moore, you are the champion team of field hockey, but you had to beat a good team with good sportsmanship. Congratulations Third Moore.
