  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN November 3,1970 3 HEY BUD, COULD I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU? That seems to be what Elon defender No. 78 seems to be saying as he apparently tries to flag down WCU fullback Eddy Sveum (28). Sveum would have no part of such a diversion as he apparently had his mind on the goal line, or perhaps, by the distance of his stride- . the next county. Blocking on his right to secure that side Is center Sid TurbyfilL Sveum had an impressive afternoon as he rushed for 50 yards in 10 carries and caught seven passes for another 54. (photo by Terry Bowers) Catsdump Elon(yawn)17-7 It's another case of who dun- nit. Someone or something unknown either came to Western Carolina's homecoming last Saturday or perhaps it was not there at aU, but it stole the zing from the Catamounts. Perhaps it was the same Grinch out of Doc Seuss that lifted Christmas last year. About the only real evidence of the fact that it was homecoming was—yes, you guessed it—the rain. When it was all over in Cullowhee's Memorial Stadium the Cats had defeated the Elon Christians 17-7. The fans were yawning as they woke up to leave their seats. The zing was gone. Actually, it never was there. Last week coach Bob Waters' Cats put it all together. This week they came dang close to dismantling it again at the hands of hapless 1-6 Elon. The Christians were the first team the Cats have defeated Cross country wins 8, loses 3 at state meet Western Carolina University's cross country team defeated two Southern Conference teams, two Carolinas Conference teams, one Atlantic Coast Conference team, and three independent teams in route to their fourth place finish at the North Carolina state meet held in Raleigh yesterday. The superb showing by the WCU harriers boosted their record to 20-6 for the season and definitely makes them the favorite to grab the NAIA District 6 Championship here in CuUowhee this Saturday. First place in the state meet went to Tony Waldrop of N.C. State with a winning time of 25:U. WCU's Terry Helms finished seventh with a 25:55 time to lead the Catamount runners. Ben Bailey, freshman WCU speedster, finished 18th with a time of 26:41. His position was instrumental in edging out fifth place Appalachian State by three points 126-129. The order of finish was as foUows: 1. Duke University 34 2. UNC-Chapel HU1 78 3. N.C. State 96 4. Western Carolina 126 5. Appalachian State 129 7. Pembroke CoUege 8. High Point 9. Wake Forest University 10. Davidson CoUege at home this season. The Catamounts have not had an impressive home win since they massacred Newberry College 70-0 on November 15 of last year. "We won, but I dont think anyone was impressed with our performance. We looked dead and played poorly. This is no way to entertain people on homecoming day," WCU head football coach Bob Waters said. The playing field added more misery. Three days of soaking ud heavy rain left it waterlogged and sloppy. The pass receivers slipped making cuts in their patterns and the runners had not only to dodge would-be tack- lers, but be careful not to fall down on the slick turf. It was an Alka-Seltzer that didn't fizz, popcorn that didn't pop. The zing was gone from homecoming. Aside from a few individual fine performances the day had overtones of the blahs. Quarterback Hal Mote, fullback Eddy Sveum, defensive tackle Mike Cater, all sophomores, and junior defensive tackle Steve WUliams drew the only praise from the coaching staff. Mote passed for 228 yards, Sveum caught 7 of those for 54 yards and rushed for 50 more whUe Cater and Williams had 10 and 12 tackles respectively to lead the defensive effort. BUI Beaty, a senior from ThomasvUle, intercepted two Elon passes and linebacker Gary Dotson picked off one. WCU has an open date this week before meeting Concordia Awards designated Awards for best floats and displays during the Homecoming celebration Saturday have been designated as follows: Theta Xi carried away best fraternity float honors; Phi Mu, best sorority float for the third year in a row; the Music Educational National Conference, best organizational float; Albright-Benton, best residence hall display; Delta Sigma Phi, best fraternity display; Sigma Kappa, best sorority display; and Alpha Phi Omega, best organizational display. The awards may be picked up by the winners any day after 3 p.m. in the Student Government Association offices, second floor of the University Center, of Minnesota on Nov. 14. The Cobbers finished second in the NAIA last season and are sporting a five game win streak with an overaU 6-1-1 record this season. This week the Concordia squad wUl face the NAIA number six team, Gustavus Adolphus College. "I hope this open date wUl give us time to heal some injuries to key personnel and get ourselves mentally ready as weU for a great Concordia team," Waters commented.
