  • Page 18 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Tuesday, September 22, 1970 Soccer team opens second season Soccer opens its second year at WCU and Coach Charles Schrader looks for vast improvement over initial campaign. "We had a good turnout for spring practice and the team played weU in the spring prac- tlce games. Overall, I'm very encouraged about our young program," commented Sch- rader. The 1970 Cat kickers will be attempting to better last year's mark of 1-6-1, respectable for a team playing its first schedule without scholarships. An ambitious ten game sch' edule that includes major schools Clemson and Furman plus small college powers War- ren Wilson and Erskine makes the Catamounts chances of having a winning season question able. The loss of leading scorer John Keith doesn't help either. However, fifteen returning lettermen plus some fine new recruits brightens the picture. "Add our enthusiasm and a lot of hard work and I think we can be respectable," adds Coach Schrader. Harry Foley, a transfer, and senior Ken Marshburn will captain the WCU booters. Some of the other promising returnees are Steve Weams, Dock Thomas, Ken Cassell, Don Mincey, Ed Prescott and Dave Fonke. New additions include three transfers from Brevard College Ralph Lundy, Mike Mit- chner and Bill Benfield. Mitch- ner was the leading scorer for Brevards nationally ranked squad last year. Coach Schrader has internationalized his program this season with players from Columbia and Hong Kong. 1 t> iftCfil mm ■* Cross-country team optimistic this year Soccer Schedule Sept, 29 Clemson University October 6 Furman University October 9 UNC - Asheville October 13 Carson-Newman October 23 UNC - Asheville October 26 Erskine October 28 Warren Wilson November 3 Toccoa Falls Ins.

Deskins, ASU's version of the "Super Gnat" is also the Apps kickoff and return specialist. After watching films of last week's WCU- Car son-Newman game, it is highly probable that Aopalachian will put the ball in the air consistently. Defensively, ASU is small but quick. There is plenty of experience in the defensive unit. There are nine lettermen returning as starters. Leading the stopper unit will be tackle Wayne Fletcher, linebacker Phil Keener, end Steve Chapman and defensive backs, Eddie Bundy, David Chandler and Mike Greene. Gamotime is 8:00 p„m. in Mem orial Stadium. Let's all get out and give the Cats that same beautiful support they got last year. All the way, this time, Cats!

The WCU distance men have ranked with the state's best the past two seasons, winning the NAIA District 6 Championship and placing 25th in the national meet in 1968. More honors are forecast for the coming season. Several new additions have been made including a new coach. He is Roger Thomas, former track and cross country mentor at Seminole Junior College of Florida. He brings impressive credentials from the Sunshine State — three consecutive conference championships and eleventh ranking in the JC nationals last year. He is recognized as one of the finest young coaches on the track scene today. Another reason for optimism in the Catamount camp is Terry Helms. The Kannapolis junior is back after two record smashing seasons, He has won the NAfA District 6 title the two previous seasons and appears to have a very good siiot at national honors this year.
