  • Page 12 The Western Carolinian Friday, October 8, 1965 Bowles And Ruta Serve Catamounts As Captains The Western Corolinian sports staff salutes Ed Bowles and John Ruta, co-captains of the WCC football team. They were elected by their teammates on the basis of leadership, ability, team spirit, and the desire to win and build a better team. Ed Bowles, a Junior from Mocksville, N. C., is majoring in Physical Education and Social Science. Bowles grad- Ed Bowles uated from Davie County High School in Mocksville where he played tackle. He was an All-Conference player his senior year and was selected to the East-West All- Star team as well. Bowles, a 5'11", 223-pound junior tackle, is playing his third year of football at Western. Last year he did not get to play because of a back in jury. Since Bowles is only a junior, he will have one more year to play for Western. John Ruta is a senior from Plant City, Fla. He is a Business Administration major. John graduated from Plant City High School where he was an All-Conference quarterback his senior year. Ruta is 6" tall and weighs 171 pounds. He is a defensive safety Conference Play Heavy Last week's action in the Carolinas Conference left only one team with an unblemished record, as Western Carolina downed Guilford 9-7 in a battle of unbeatens. The Catamounts, along with Lenoir Rhyne, now loom as the favorite to take the league title. The Bears eked out a 3-0 victory over Newberry to remain tied with the Cats in the conference standings, each with 2-0 marks. Elsewhere in the conference, Appalachian handed Elon its second straight shutout, 9-0; World Series Action Enters Sports Scene John Ruta and an offensive end. Last year John was selected on the second team NEIA, All-American as a safety. He was also chosen for Coaches All-Conference in the Carolinas Conference. The teams' choice has proven wise in the three games played so far this year by the Cats. Both Bowles and Ruta have proved to be the leaders that a championship team needs. Intramural Field Hockey Features Busy Schedule The Blue Ridge Field Hockey League is really "tied up," with four of the seven games resulting in ties. Due to the fact that ties count as wins, the She-Cats are in the lead with a 1-0-3 record. Close behind are the Lady Hornets with a 1-0-2 mark, followed by the Skylarks (1-01), the Hitchhikers (0-1- 2), and the Tiger-Lilies (0-1- 1). On Wednesday, September 29, the Tiger-Lilies and the Hitchhikers battled to a 1-1 tie, wih Dianee Abernathy and Floretta Casey each scoring goals. Following this action, the Lady THE RITZ Theater Sylva, N. C. Welcomes All Alumni "Movies Are Better Than Ever" Phone 586-2816 Hornets and the She-Cats fought to a 2-2 tie. Judy Sanders and Kay Bridges paced the scoring for their teams. Monday, October 4, the She- Cats defeated the Skylarks by a forfeit, and the Lady Hornets utilized two goals by Judy Sanders to whip the Hitchhikers, 2-0. Tuesday's action saw the Trojans stop the star Chambers, 2-0, and Knotheads trounce the Terriers, 6-0. Margaret Cole, Regina Miller, and Brenda Bryson tallied two points each for the winners. Last year's winners were the Hustlers and the Hitchhikers. In the battle for a tournament champion, the Hustlers came out on top. Next issue will feature a spotlight review of the intramural coaches, plus the weekly coverage of the women's intramurals. The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Minnesota Twins are meeting for the 1965 World Series. The Twins clinched their pennant two weeks ago, while the Dodgers had to come from AVz games back to gain the National League flag. The Dodgers, who boast one of the best piching staffs in the majors, were pre-Series picks to win the annual event. Sandy Konfax and Don Drys- dalc give the Dodgers a pitching combination anv team would love to have. The only problem the Dodgers face is Ihe lack of real power hitting. Few runs are scored by the Los Angeles boys, but the brilliant Ditching has always made up for the weak hitting. Tho Twins, on the other hand, have tremendous hitting, led by such stars as Harmon Killebrew. Tony Oliva. and Bob Allison. Their pitching staff is also commendable, with Jim Grant being the ace. Minnesota's problems can be expressed in the form of Dodger strength. They have no real weaknes such as the Dodgers' weak hitting, but the pitching and speed on the basepaths of the Dodgers will give them plenty to worry about. By the time the first game is played, the newspaper will be gone to press. The Sports Department regrets it cannot give better coverage of the Series action. The next edition will give a full coverage of the Series, plus a new sports feature column on Professional football. Look for these in the next edition of the Western Carolinian Catawba trounced Emory & Henry, 28-16; and Presbyterian downed Wofford, 12-7. This week's action pits Lenoir Rhyne at Appalachian, E- lon at Presbyterian, Catawba at Western Carolina, Guilford at Bridgewater, and Frederick at Newberry. The outlook: Frederick at Newberry: The Indians of Newberry have displayed some good football this season, having beaten Catawba while losing 3-point decisions to Appalachian and Lenoir Rhyne. In their first non-conference match of the season, against a mediocre Frederick team, the South Carolina eleven should run wild. The pick is Newberry, by 30- 14. Guilford at Bridgewater: The Quakers saw their perfect record ended last Saturday, as they lost a close one to Western Carolina. They should bounce back tomorrow, however, at Bridgewater, the first of three straight non-conference matches. The home team could make a good game of it but the nod goes to Guilford, perhaps 18-7. Elon nt Presbyterian: Elon. after losing their last two games without having scored a point, will be trying to get back in the win column tomorrow afternoon at Presbyterian. The Blue Hose, however, now have tasted victory and will be hard to beat. This contest, although not one of the headliners in the conference this weekend, could turn out to be the most interesting. Afer a hard-fought battle, Presbyterian should emerge the victor, say 14-10. Catawba at Western Carolina: The Catamounts are the only unbeaten team in the Carolinas Conference, and a win at homecoming tomorrow would put them in the driver's seat in the race for the title. They play three of their four remaining conference games, including Lenoir Rhyne, in Memorial Stadium. Catawba, while dropping its only league match, showed strength in two outside contests, and cannot be counted out of the running. A victory over the Cats would put them right back in the thick of the race. However, it appears that the Indians will not be able to stop the newly-found offense of the Cats, and will find the going even rougher against the Cats' defense. Although Catawba has been able to score frequently in its first three games, many of the points have come on home-run type plays, such as punt returns, pass interceptions, and kickoff returns. Their offense has not been as effective as their point production might indicate. Meanwhile, the Catamounts, while not scoring a great deal of points themselves, have held the opposition to an aevrage of 4.3 points per game, or less than one touchdown. Western, although scoring only 9 points agaist Guilford last week, was able to move the ball freely, both on the ground and in the air, and should be able to punch across for several scores against the Catawba defense. The prediction is Western Carolina 24, Catawba 7. Lenoir Rhyne at Appalachian: The Bears, tied with Western Carolina for the conference lead with 2-0 marks, travel to Boone to take on the young, but tough, Mountaineers, who seem to get better with each game. The App defense, which hos allowed only 14 points in three games, has outshone its offense, which has scored only 19 points. The match between Appalachian and Lenoir Rhyne is always a highlight of the season for each school, and this year's game promises to be one of the best ever. Looking for the Apps to upset the Bears, they score may be 17-13. Last week's results: 3 right, 2 wrong. Season's totals: 10 right, 6 wrong. Supporting . . . —Continued fromPage 8 a good year. Homecoming has always been an outstanding event at Western Carolina. Through the efforts of the band, Carolettes, majorettes, and cheerleaders this homecoming will again be the most colorful event of the year. C0DGILL MOTOR CO. Sylva, N. C.
