Friday, October 16, 1964 The Western Carolinian Page 14 The Western Carolinian SPORTS SECTION Cats Defeat Indians 7-0 From The Sidelines by JOHN REID, Sports Editor Last Saturday's game with Catawba showed what a team can do if it has the desire and concentrated effort. The Cats displayed the brand of football that they have been capable of playing all year, only they eliminated the mistakes that have been plaguing them thus far. The only "errors" which befell Western were three intercepted passes, and two of these actually helped instead of hurt as they were third down passes which covered more yardage than a punt would probably have done, with no chance of a runback. Jim Williams called an excellent game on offense, mixing his running and passing plays superbly and keeping the Catawba defense guessing at all times. As Coach Robinson stated earlier this week, the victory was a team effort, with everyone playing an excellent game. This was especially true of the defense. Never was such pursuit and gang-tacklinf witnessed of a Catamount team. The defensive line com pletely contained the two outstanding backs of the Indians—Bryan Applifield and David Campbell. These two threats were never able to demonstrate their running ability, as they were bottled up continually by the alert defense. Last week's victory should provide the Catamount team with the incentive for a victory tomorrow night at Homecoming. The ice has been broken, the pressure is off for that first victory of the season, and the players should be ready to go all out for a big win. This could be the beginning of a big rivalry with Mars Hill. Last year's game was cancelled because of the assassination of President Kennedy, so tomorrow's contest will be the first football game ever played between the two schools. The Lions are a new four-year institution in their second season of big-time football and seem to have a good foundation for the future. By Frances Vaitekunas The Catawba Indians blemished Western Carolina's perfect record last Saturday night as they fell before the Cats by a score of 7-0. The never-say- die Catamounts drove the ball 80 yards for the only touchdown of the game while the Indians could not muster enough strength to penetrate more than once the Catamount 25- yard line. The entire game was actually played in the limits of For Gant Shirts VISIT THE STEVEN VANCE MEN'S SHOP in Winners ASHEVILLE, N. C. YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME At CHARLIE'S Of WAYNESVILLE both teams' 25-yard lines, except for Western's touchdown drive and once when the Indians drove to the Catamount 11 - yard line only to be held for 4 downs by the well-poised Cats. The Catamount victory spelled Catawba's first defeat of the season and marked the first time in 11 years that the Indians have been beaten by the Cats. Ellis (Jet) Johnson climaxed Western's 80-yard scoring Ruta, Howard Win Honors As Players Of The Week "Back of the Week" honor goes to John Ruta this week. Ruta, a 180-pound, six-foot junior from Plant City, Florida, sparked the Cats time after time to break up key Catawba plays and change the tide in favor of the Catamounts. The coaching staff had a difficult time before honoring Ruta with the title, as Ronnie Henderson and Jimmy DeAngelis were also outstanding. Danny Howard, a 5'9", 190- pound junior from Jacksonville, Florida, took "Lineman of the Week" honors. Howard was a continued thorn in the side of the Indians as he repeatedly crashed the Catawba line and dumped ball carriers.

C. march as he skirted 3 yards a- round the right side of the line for the Catamounts' only touchdown. But it was freshman quarterback Jim Williams who seemed to sparkle most as he guided the hungry Cats for most of the 80 yards. The Cats took possession on their own 20-yard line following a punt, and after a couple of plays 2,000 screaming fans seemed to sense a touchdown in the making. The upset-minded Catamounts began grinding out yardage off the legs of James Seay, Jet Johnson and Walt Swainey. Then, with the ball resting on the Catawba 22-yard line, the Catamounts engineered a pass play that went for 21 yards from the arm of Jim Williams to the sticky hands of end Roger Cox. The Indian line stiffened for one play and threw Ellis Johnson for a one- yard loss. Then defensive standout John Ruta came in as quarterback and sent Johnson across for the score. Van Stay- ton kicked the extra point to make the score 7-0. Catawba's major threat of the night came in the second period when the Indians drove deep into Catamount territory only to be stopped by Western's superb defense. The Cats seemed to be mere determined to snatch victory from the highly- favored Indians than they have been determined to win any »ame played to date this season. The defense, hampered by njuries, wouldn't let the Cat fans down. The Cats held for 'our downs and kept the Indians from moving past the 11- yard line. Both ball clubs played a fine ball game. But the Catamounts made the difference in the score by "net giving the Indians anything," Coach Dan Robinson said after the game. The Cats made almost no mistakes and they lost no fumbles. Coach Robinson continued, "The players were very embarrassed over the way they represented Western over Guilford, and they were determined to make a better showing in this game. It was a team victory turned in by one of the most coachable ball clubs I have ever coached." The entire Catamount team turned in a great performance and deserves to be commended. The Catamounts went into the game two to three touchdown underdogs. They played without the services of 4 of their linebackers and were forced to change to a defense they have not used in 5 years. Ronnie Scott returned after two ball games and turned in an excellent performance. The victory was such an outstanding team effort that it would be impossible to name all who played outstanding ball.
