  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN January 29, 1971 7 Cats look for national ranking National ranking will be on the line when Western Carolina travels to Elon College Saturday night to battle toe AP's seven- teenth ranked Christians. Western's Catamounts have a seven game win streak going and a victory over the Caro- linas Conference leaders would enhance their chances of breaking into the top twenty. Elon is the only CC team that has continued to play WCU since the Cats withdrew from the conference two years ago. The old rivals have met forty-six times on toe hardwood since 1950 with Elon holding a 25-22 edge. The teams last met during the holidays in Gardner-Webb's tourney and WCU took a 77-76 squeaker on Mike Manis'basket from midcourt at the final buzzer. That victory started the Catamounts on a successful after- Christmas-campaign that has produced nine wins in ten games and has sent their record to a surprising 13-3, Despite a 90.0 scoring average, WCU coach Jim Hartbarger credits the Cats defense as being the catalyst for victory, "We have forced the opposition into mistakes and then capital- ized. This has been the difference lately," commented Hartbarger. The Cats latest victories over THE GOLDEN TOUCH—Wilson Scott, WCU's hot handed sophomore wingman, releases another of his deadly-accurate jumpers against Piedmont Monday night A: 6-foot-4, 180 = pounds, Scott has been key in sustaining the current seven- game Catamount win streak. (Photo by Bruce Cox) Brevard's Charlie Carr signs with WCU football for 1971 Still another high school blue chip player has signed a football grant-in-aid for WCU's Catamounts for next season, Charlie Carr, a star end for the Brevard High Blue Devils, is the latest Carr caught 21 passes last season for 621 yards under Brevard coach Ed Emory, He also carried the ball 15 times for 156 more yards or an average per carry of a little over ten. As a punter for four years he averaged 41.7 yards per kick. '' We have watched Charlie for the past three years at Brevard and consider him one of the finest high school prospects anywhere, Right now we plan to use him at split end and r defensive back, but he could easily become a runningback," said WCU assistant coach Johnny Wike who recruited Carr. Carr was a high school starter for four years and wis named to the WNC All-Scholastic team two of those years. In addition, he played on two Ivy Conference championship teams with another WCU signee—teammate Eagle Moss, Gymnastics meet WCU's Mens' Gymnastics Team lias a competitive meet with the University of Georgia's Mens' Gymnastics Team Saturday, Jan, 30,1971 at 7;30 p,m, in Re id Gym, Mars Hill and Piedmont are examples of fine defense. Mars Hill turned toe ball over fifteen times in their slow, deliberate offensive effort. Piedmont was held to five field goals in the opening fourteen minutes of toe Catamounts 132-91 rout Elon relies on defense also and has ranked in toe top twenty in team defense all season, However, Coach B1U Miller's Christians will have to put forth an outstanding effort to cool off Western's hot shooting from the floor which has hovered around the 60% mark during toe last six games. After the Elon clash, Western will return home to face a pair of District 6 opponents, South Carolina State and Mars Hill. The Catamounts are now 4-2 in district play and will face the remaining six loop foes at home as they pursue a NAIA playoff berth. Wrestlers get big win over Georgia After a slow start, Western Carolina University's Wrestling fortunes have taken a turn for the better. Coach BobSetzer'sgrapplers defeated previously unbeaten SEC power Georgia, 19-16. is, Athens last Thursday night for their third straight The Catamounts other victories have been over Elizabeth City State and MilliganCollege after early season loss*- es to UT-Chattamooga and Appalachian State, The low weight classes (118- 142) wore WCU's weak points last year, but this season the situation is reversed. Freshmen Terry Short and Jimmy Blair of Charlotte and sophomores Wayne Talley and Bo Russel have been the Cats top wrestlers. Short is 3-2 in the 118 class; Blair is unbeaten (5- 0) in the 126 class; Talley, 134, is 3-2 and Russell is 3-0 in the 142 pound matches. Sophomore Doug Barrier, a team co-captain with Russell is the other Catamount with a winning record. He is 4-1 in the 167 pound matches. Coach Setzer, who brought collegiate wrestling back to WCU three years ago after an absence of two decades,blames "poor conditioning" for the Cats poor showing in the early going, "we are just now rounding into shape/' he said, 'V.
