  • 10 Thursday, September 30, 1971 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN ;y^ ns,- THE CATS & 1 THE *QP-. fm\^ Jl TNGLE ► *< ,s»UC .'H JunqJe Jim RowtJJ H It could be that the Cullowhee bubble didn't bust. After last season's fine record in athletics, a lot of folks just said "well they got lucky, they had a good year." And, they were right. Just like Anne Boleyn was an iron because the history book says, "Henry the Eighth, having deposed Catherine of Aragon, pressed his suit with Anne Boleyn." But boobies, it just ain't likely. Yes, the football team opened with two defeats, but last week the Cats may have turned the corner more than some realize. JacksonvUle State will be a good test of that since the Gamecocks were picked number one in the nation prior to an opening loss to Livingston (another WCU opponent). How about the cross-country team? They have only run in two meets to date, but their record is already 9-1 with wins over such people as Clemson, The Citadel, Georgia State, Davidson, Emory, Furman and Tennessee. And the lone loss—Georgia Tech is a respectable team to lose to. And on to soccer...the Catamount footmen had a lousy day in their opener yesterday and still came a *ay defeating Tusculum 4-2. Where is the bursted bubble? You may call the Czar of Russia the Czar. You may call the wife of the Czar the Czarina. But the Jungle doesn't think you should call the Czar's children Czardines. About the game this week— it will be a toughie. The Cats and the coaches know that Jax State is loaded. When they got beat in their opener and the foundation for the number one NAIA ranking crumbled they were down. But look how long they stayed down—last week it was Southeast Missouri zilch and JSU 57. They know how to run the sprint out, Y-type attack. But look at Western against an offensive attack like that. ASU had one something like it, and the Cats stopped it cold The WCU offense sputtered last week, but when it clicks so does the scoreboard. If you wanna go and see what could be a big upset, if you wanna look back later in the season and say "I saw it all start," you may well get your chance if you go to Jack-= sonville. To get there: head for Atlanta; when you get there head for Anniston, Ala.; when you get there ask anyone where the stadium is 'cause they love the Gamecocks there. Or, go ask Baxter Wood about the route across through Murphy/ Chattanooga and then on to Anniston. And, don't stay up listening for a bubble to pop this season. In closing—The Paw said he could run the 100-yard dash in six seconds. The Jungle said it was impossible since that is better than the world record But The Paw said he knew a shortcut, \.* :*£■*&£; £:: WCU soccer opens with sluggish 4-2 The Western Carolina soccer team kicked open their 1971 season yesterday afternoon, as they triumphed over Tusculum College 4-2 here at Cullowhee. The opening minutes of play saw the WC U offense take command of the ball, keeping it most of the first half. Veteran Mike Michner scored the first point of the game for WCU on an assist from Steve Weams, after approximately 10 minutes of play. Western's offense kept on the move, setting up Brevard transfer, Brackey Brenizer for the second WCU point of the game on an assist from Mike Michner. The first quarter closed out on a score of 2-0, with the Catamount footmen ha vingmadt; 12 attempts at scoring, while holding Tusculum to 4 attempts and no score. Second quarter ended with neither team scoring. Yet with no scoring, the WCU hooters kept control of the ball making 14 attempts, while the WCU defense held Tusculum again to four attempts. Thus, the first half ended with Western Carolina leading 2-0. In the early minutes of the third quarter, Mike Michner scored his second goal of the game and the third for Western Carolina, this time on an assist from Duck Thomas, pushing WCU ahead 3-0. Then the Tusculum team made its move as Jim Chat- man scored their first point of the game on a free kick resulting from a penalty against WCU. The score now stood 3-1. The WCU defense began to weaken somewhat as the Tusculum offense managed to control the ball most of the quarter. Yet towards the end of the quarter, the spark caught again long enough for Patrick Cheung to score on an assist from Mike Michner, raising the score to 4-1 by the end of the quarter. Western made 9 attempts, with Tusculum nearly catching up on 7 attempts. The fourth period of play went scoreless for Western, but saw Tusculum's John Aeishamp score one point giving the final game score 4-2. WCU made only 8 attempts at scoring giving them a game total of 43. Tusculum made 7 attempts giving them 22 for the game. Western Carolina came out of the game with no injuries, squad victory yet one near injury came when Don Mincy was taken out because of a severe leg cramp. "Over-all, our defense was poor and the offense was too faulty. We're gonna have to tighten up and play with fewer mistakes," commented soccer coach Charles Schrader, "and as for the second half let-up, we just weren't in good enough condition and simply ran out of gas. But above all our mis= takes, we still won." Western Carolina's next game will be against UNC-Asheville tomorrow, at 3:00 p.m. here in Cullowhee.
