  • 4 CAROLINIAN EXTRA Monday, October 26, 1970 Saturday, Oct 31 - Homecoming, Halloween 81 Steve Spradling CATAMOUNT TRI-CAPTAINS FOR 1970 73 Joe Kearse 86 Les Herrin Cats down 2-3, Black Magic! Who expected Western Carolina University's Catamounts to be the owners of a 2-3 record after five games? Nearly everyone i ;at was familiar with the Cats did not Even the NAIA national poll picked the Cats fifth in the country in their first rankings as the season began. The next question is of course - What happened? WCU head coach Bob Waters probably asked himself that same question more times than he would care to remember. Yet, there are some pertinent factors such as the caliber of the teams we have played. Carson-Newman was just as tough as usual, but not enough, as the Cats chalked up a 33> 14 win there. Then came Appalachian, with a fine ball club this season. After they stopped the Cats in CuUowhee, 17-10, the Mountineers clumbed into the number 17 JAIA slot The Apps have a 4-1 record. Then came Jacksonville State's (Alabama) speedy, aggressive squad. They dropped the Cats 24-10 in Cullowhee. Jacksonville is now 15th in the NAIA poll and undefeated. They wiU climb; last week they trounced the #3 team 55-10. And Wofford. The Terriers are floating on a 15 game win streak that reaches back through the 1969 season. They are the number two NAIA team as they were when th e Cats played them. Want a team to measure by? Use Wofford. They barely escaped the wrath of the Cats 28-21 with a winning TD with less than three minutes to go. When the Cats went to Presbyterian, it was all revenge. It was the Blue Hose last season that ended the Catamounts nine - game win streak and knocked them from an NAIA Championship Bowl contest with Concordia (Minn.). The Cats didn't forget This year the score was 28-21 in favor of Western Carolina at Clinton, S.C. At the time of this publication, the Cats still were to face Lenior-Rhyne on the road in Hickory. Look for the Cats to have a even slate for the homecoming battle against Elon. The problem the Catamounts encountered game after game this season was with their powerful offensive machine. The defense has been strong for the most part although they have faced explosive opposition. With the Wofford contest, the offense began to jell. WCU found a consistent quarterback with Hal Mote, a soDhomore Ga. Tech transfer. Then WCU fans can depend on "Super O" Otis Mcintosh, who carried the ball 45 times for 161 yards in the Presbyterian game and had three TD's. He is a tough competitor and a thrilling runner to watch. Coming to Memorial Stadium im Cullowhee for homecoming will be a team that nearly derailed the Catamounts last season ... Elon. WCU won the 1969 encounter 17-13, but it was a squeeker. Elon went on to win the Carolina's Conference Championship. This season the Fighting Christians wUl probably come to WCU hungry for a win. Ranked as favorites to win the Carolina's Conference again, Elon tad a disappointing season thus far - 0-5. The Catawbe game is still pending, but thf Indians are 5-1 and the Christians will have had to play fine ball to beat them. Look for Elon's record to be 0-6. Sound like an easy opponent? Hardly. Elon has the potential to make it a fine contest against WCU and you must always worry about a team that des- peratly needs a win. Western Carolina would be a good place and team to start The Cats will be chaUenged, that is cer= tain. As far as the history book is concerned, Elon leads in the series having won 15 of the 24 games played. Excitement? Plenty. The Catamounts brand of football under coach Bob Waters has it all . Fantastic plays, exciting runs, passes, and even punts will be there. Homecoming is a big event - and WCU thinks BIG about football. Which contestant has a queen's magic The election for Homecoming Queen was held Thursday, Oct 22, with a field of 25 student beauties vying for the homecoming queen honor. The Homecoming court, made up of those 11 women who re- cieved the mostvotes, will reign throughout Fall Festival. The queen, the woman who recieved the most votes in last Thursday's election will be announced at the homecoming footbaU game on Saturday. She wUl be crowned by Robert F.
