  • Page 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Tuesday, November 19,1968 Cats Down Newberry/ Lomax Sets New Record By TOM CORBITT Fullback David Lomax gained 195 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead the Western Carolina Catamounts to a 28-0 victory Saturday night over Newberry College at Newberry, S.C. Lomax, a 5-10, 195-pound senior from Thomasville, rushed for a one season school record of 858 yards, breaking the old record of 714 yards■ which he set last year. Lomax is Western Carolina's AU-Time great rusher with 2,191 yards over four seasons. Western matched 69 yards in five plays the first time it got the ball with tailback Paul Smith going up the middle from the seven yard line to score with 10 minutes to go in the first quarter. The Catamounts moved inside the Newberry 20=yard line Harriers Post 10-0 Season By KEN BALL WCU downed the Harriers of High Point 23-34 Friday in one of the most exciting meets of the season. This victory at High Point ended the regular season for the Cross Country men giving them an undefeated 10-0 record of duel meets. High Point proved to be one of Western's toughest competitors this season. High Point had taken the NAIA District 26 Championship with an overwhelming victory. Bill Carter, their senior captain and District 26 Champion, gave WCU's Terry Helms a very close race, Terry pulled ahead of Carter down the last hundred yards of the home stretch to post a winning time uf 27:46. Carter was only a step behind with 27:47. Tom Gibbons took third place for Western, followed by Ned Jones, Terry Winters and Mike Davis were the "pushers" for WCU, running good races to take seventh and eight places, Coach Heath Whittle, along with WCU's top five runners, (Terry Helms, Tom Gibbons, Ned Jones, Terry Winters, Mike Davis) will travel to Atlanta Thursday afternoon. They will fly from Atlanta to Oklahoma City and the NAIA National Championship, Apps Slide By Frosh 6-0 By JIM ROWELL Appalachian State University's Freshmen literally slid by the Western Carolina Kittymounts Monday afternoon to post a 6-0 win in a mud bowl classic. The game was not played in Appalachian's Conrad Stadium, but rather on their practice field which was standing two inches deep in water in most places. At one point in the game, ASU's quarterback Jim Holland threw a pass which was intended to be a long bomb. Due to the howling wind blowing the pass traveled only 15 yards- five yards forward and ten yards backward, That was a good example of how the passing went all day. The Kittymounts had a total of 32 yards passing as they completed 3 of 7 passes. A combination of Tom Lane to Larry Goforth accounted for 21 of those yards. ASU's passing netted them 37 yards on 3 completions in 6 attempts. two other times in the first half as they gained 176 yards on the ground to 35 for Newberry, but were unable to score. Lomax scored two touchdowns In the third quarter from 11 and 5 yards out The Cats moved 70 yards in 16 plays with Lomax scoring his first TD .at 7:25 in the quarter. Western needed only two plays to score again on Don Dnlton's 54 yard pass to tight end John Davies to the Newberry five. Lomax plunged over on the next play and Jim Corley's third straight conversion made it 21=0. Lomax carried 16 times for 102 yards in the first half and added 93 on seven carries in the second, Western added a final touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, marching 75 yards in six plays, Dalton hit and Woody Woodruff over the middle with a six-yard strike after Lomax plunged 29 yards jto set up the score at that point Western brought its season's record to 4-4 and Carolinas conference record to 3-2 with the win. Newberry is now 3-6 overall and 2-3 in the conference. The Catamounts end the sea= son in Clinton, S. C, next Saturday against Presbyterian. Dp.a Ro!)inson will be making his farewell appearance as WCU coach in that game.
