  • Friday, October 9, 1964 The Western Carolinian Page 6 The Western Carolinian SPORTS SECTION Guilford Defeats Cats Sat. By Francis Vaitekunas The Catamounts kept their 1964 football season's perfect record Saturday night as they From The Sidelines by JOHN REID, Sports Editor After three weeks of action in the Carolinas Conference, the race for the league title is beginning to take shape. Elon, pre-season pick to take all the marbles, looked unimpressive in its first two games, although winning both. After last week's convincing 28-7 victory over previously undefeated Appalachian, however, Elon is once agan rated as the team to beat for the title. Appalachian had defeated Newberry and Western Carolina in its first two games and appeared strong enough to take Elon. It must be noted, however, that the wins came against the two bottom teams in the conference standings. Appalachian cannot be counted out of the picture yet, but since the Mountaineers play only five conference games as compared to six by the other contenders, they will be at a disadvantage from here on. Each of the other teams must lose at least two games while the Apps win their remaining conference games against Lenoir Rhyne and Catawba for Appalachian to win the title. Catawba has now emerged as the top challenger to Elon. Since the opening day loss to East Carolina, Catawba has won three straight—the 31-7 win over Newberry being the only conference contest. The Indians started the season with a problem of inexperience, having to depend on several sophomores and freshmen. These players have evidently developed rapidly. The next three weeks will determine Catawba's title chances. After Western Carolina, the Indians meet Appalachian and Elon on successive Saturdays. Although Lenoir Rhyne has won only one game out of three this year, that game was a conference victory over Newberry. The Bears meet Elon and Catawba in succession in the final games of the season and could have a definite say-so as to who wins the championship. Newberry and Western Carolina are winless thus far, and only the fact that the Indians have played one more conference game than the Catamounts puts them alone in the league cellar. Western has displayed occasional strength and is definitely capable of rising up and defeating any of the teams on its schedule. A win over Catawba or a very impressive win over Mars Hill next week on Homecoming could give the Cats the spark they are lacking. The Carolinas Conference is fairly well balanced this year, not so much in the fact that all the teams are contenders but that any team can possibly defeat the contenders on any given weekend. As for Western Carolina fans, although the chance for a banner season is gone and the outlook for a successful season looks dim, the Cats nevertheless have six games remaining and anything can happen.

The New York Yankees and the St. Louis Cardinals have just completed the first two games of the World Series in St. Louis, and the two pennant winners are using today to travel to New York where the next three games of the series will be played. Starting pitchers for tomorrow's contest are Jim Bouton for the Yankees and Curt Simmons for the Cardinals. Bouton Is a righthander while Simmons is a southpaw. This is the fifth time these two teams have met in World Series competition. Each team has won two series. This is the first Yankee-Cardinal series since 1943. The Red Birds have not seen series action since 19- 46. New York has captured five pennants in succession. Rookie manager Yogi Berra directed the Yankees to this season's league championship. Spearheading the Cardinal pitching attack are Ray Sa- deckl, ace righthander Bob Gibson, and Simmons. The Yankees rest their hopes on the arms of Whitey Ford, Al Downing, Bouton, and rookie Mel Stottlemyre. A family feud could develop as a result of the World Series. Clete Boyer.

C. bowed before the Guilford Quakers by a score of 20-12. A touchdown, extra point, and a field goal gave the Quakers a lead of ten points to play with during most of the first half. They put the game on ice with another touchdown in the third quarter, and with an extra point made the spread seventeen points over the Cats. Another field goal ended their total of twenty points. Meanwhile the Catamounts could only squeeze out twelve points on a touchdown in the third period and one in the fourth quarter. Western Carolina was behind the Quakers from almost start to finish. Very early In the contest the Guilford Quakers recovered John Ru- ta's fumble on Western's 4- yard line. They quickly took advantage of the opportunity by sending fullback Bob Blevens over for six points. Another point off the toe of Jack Brinkly made the Quaker tally seven points. Minutes later the break-inspired Quakers increased their lead off the toe of John Owensby with a field goal of 39 yards. The half ended with the Guilford Quakers leading 10- 0. In the third period another fumble plagued the Catamounts as Tailback Ellis Johnson lost the ball to the Quakers deep in Catamount territory. The upset-hungry Quakers took advantage of the break as Quaker quarterback Jim Williams scored from the 6-yard line. Brinkly added another conversion and the visitors led by a sweet 17-0 lead. But 3,000 rain-soaked fans and the weak and weary Catamounts showed that they Moore Dorm Wins In Field Hockey The women's Intramural field hockey program has gotten under way in spite of the recent bad weather conditions. On Tuesday, October 6, the team from Moore terrace the "Radishes," out-hustled 'the "Hustlers" of the Day Students team and defeated them 3-0. It was Bess Chandler, captain of the "Radishes," who led her team to a decided victory. She went all the way to score a goal in the first half, and in the second half, with the help of her teammates, she scored two more goals. The Benton team forfeited their game to the Albright Green Grasshoppers. thought the lead anything but sweet as the Cats undertook an 80-yard scoring drive. One chunk of the eighty yards was gobbled up by a 38-yard pass play from David Turnipseed to end Roger Cox. Finally, with the ball resting on the one-yard line, John Ruta tallied for the Cats. This gave the Cats their first mark on the scoreboard, making the score stand at this point 17-6. The Catamount defense stiffened somewhat, but the Quakers, elated over the reality of an upset in the making, called on their kicking specialist once more. John Owensby had earlier in the game kicked a 39-yard field goal, and now he came off the bench and kicked this one for 38 yards to prove it wasn't luck. This made the score 20-6 will less than a quarter left in the game. But the Catamounts once a- gain took to the air. They moved 38 yards on a pass play from Jim Williams to halfback Walter Swainey. Then they put the ball across on another pass, this time from the arm of John Ruta to the hands of Leroy Holden. This was a 4-yard pass play and it ended the scoring of both teams, leaving the final score 20-12 in favor of the Guilford Quakers.
