  • Thursday, October 27,1966 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 7 Cats Of The Week CHUCK SCOTT RONNIE SCOTT Ronnie Scott and Chuck Scott have been named the outstanding lineman and back of the week for their performance against Len- ior-Rhyne last Saturday night. Ronnie Scott turned in another typical performance for him as he was everywhere on offense as well as defense. He is one of the few Cats who go both ways and he has done a remarkable job all season both as an offensive guard and as a defensive linebacker, and is co-captain as well. He is from Aboeyville, S.C. and stands 5-11,193. Last season was All-Area, All-Dis trict, All-Conference, and Hon- erable Mention All-American. Saturday night he was all over the place. Chuck Scott, a 5-11, 170 lb. halfback from Skyland, N. C. IS THE Cats leading pass receiver for this season so far. He has already passed the old school record and in eight game has received 33 passes for 393 yards. He is the second leading pass receiver in the conference this year and Saturday night was a veritable workhorse for the offense in wracking up first- down yardage. The Brothers of PI KAPPA PHI Extend Their Congratulations to The Sisters ZETA IOTA CHAPTER ZETA TAU ALPHA Upon Their National Initiation Cats' Football Fortunes Disappointing So Far by Don Lucas The Western Carolina Catamounts are experiencing a dismal year thus far, and no one can come up with a substantial reason why. After six games the Cats find themselves looking up from the Carolinas Conference cellar with a 1-2 league record and a 2-4 overall mark. After looking over the past defeats, you can see that the Western eleven has been beaten statistically in only one ball game. This one, of course, was the Catawba game, and it came as a surprise to people all over the state who follow Carolinas Conference play, as well as to the Catamounts. Catawba employed a new "shotgun" offense against the Cats and bombed the patched-up Western secondary. Key injuries have also played an important role in the Cats' setbacks, starting with a late summer car accident involving co-captain Ed Bowles. Other starters or first-line reserves who have been injured this year in elude P. D. Walden, Larry Duncan, Ken Lewis, Joe Love, and David Lomax. Perhaps the secret behind the Catamounts' poor season is the impotent offense which they have experienced thus far. In five of the six games the Cats have played this year, they have had extreme trouble in ramming that ball across the goal. Passing is holding the offense above water for the time being, but without help from the running attack we might as well watch them go under for the third time. The defense has been superb in every game except the Appalachian contest, but without points on the scoreboard, you just can't win. These may not be the only causes for the Cat's downfall this year, but put key injuries, add to it a weak offense, and you get by a landslide vote a 2-4 record.
