  • 6 Thursday, October 7, 1971 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THE CATS & **&»' wC.Lt" y Jumfh Jim Rowtll Are you a football romantic or a football realist? U you arent sure, ask yourself this question. Did the football tern start off this season with a perfect 0-0-0 record or did it start of with no wins? Should you choose to believe that the Cats began with a perfect record and it was the opponents who corrupted that perfection, then, you are a romantic. On the other hand, if you think the Cats simply started off with no wins and have only one now—you are a realist. It would be greatly appreciated if you would desist from being either. What the Cats need now is some optimists with good strong lungs, It's hump time. The Cats are nearly over the hump. They have yet to play at home this season and hear the real home fans. They have yet to face a really weak team. Jungle believes that Tennessee Tech is better than Furman, that Jacksonville is better than Mississippi College, Murray St. is better than West Virginia St. That means we are on the downhill side of the hump. (Except for Livingston) This is no excuse for the score last week. Jacksonville did their thing so much better than WCU did its. The Cats were lucky to come back with anything left. The Gamecocks were better. Do you suppose they all eat Post Toasties? Race still seems to be important in Alabama. Will they never learn that there are only three main races of men: Sprinters, Hurdlers, and Long Distance. Speaking of long distance. . .a girl who wants jewelry should sit by the telephone—she might get a ring. The returns indicate that the Western Carolina soccer team has lost a match. Davidson has been honored. It could be that since both teams answer to the nickname of "Cats" there was a mix-up distributing the fickle finger of fate. WE INTERRUPT THIS COLUMN FOR AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO THE BABIES OF AMERICA: COOCHYCOOCHY COOCHY. The old cross-country team is still hoofing it toward another district championship. Roger Thomas' crew is now 11-1 and not even short of breath. In their last three races, Terry Helms and Ben Bailey have crossed the finish line hand-in-hand for dead heats. Thomas calls them the "Gold Dust Twins" and it is likely there will be some fantastic course times if Helms and Bailey ever try to beat one another. In closing Cullowheeites, when you are 93 years old, prove you are an optimist; get married and buy a house near a school. ON THE PAW—Last week The Paw went into a fancy foreign restaurant and ordered Poulet A LA MaseratL It turned out to be chicken run over by an Italian sports car. 1 center pharmacy . .. more than prescriptions; see us for gifts or that special 'something9 you want to send, we love to serve you at center pharmacy Catamounts travel to Furman in hopes of changing things Western Carolina and Furman, a pair of disappointing football teams, will be playing for "must" wins this weekend in their first meeting ever on the gridiron. Both squads see Saturday night's encounter in Greenville's Sirrine Stadium as the key game In their plans for a successful season. Western, 1-3, sorely needs a victory to erase the sting of last week's 41-14 rout at the hands of Jacksonville State while Furman'sPal- adins, 1-2-1, will be looking for momentum after a 14=0 upset of VML WCU's Bob Waters is working his Catamounts overtime this week after a poor performance last Saturday in Ala bama. "We were out hit, out coached, and out played by Jacksonville," said Waters. "That is the first time in three years we have found ourselves completely out of a game by the fourth quarter." Waters labeled Jax State "the best team we've ever faced," but added, "that was no excuse for our sloppy performance. There will be some definite changes made this week," added the Catamounts mentor. In Furman, Waters sees a much Improved team over its early season play. "They had a disappointing season till last week, now, It appears the Paladins are finally living up to their expectations." Furman Is led by versatile quarterback John DeLeo and hard running Steve Cr is lip. The Paladins amassed 332 yards rushing against VMI with Cris- lip personally accounting for 142 (385 yards for the season). DeLeo connected on 10 of 19 passes for 148 yards to keep the defense honest. WCU was in the same position at this time last year, 1-3, and then turned the season around to win its remaining games. Furman was in much the same situation last fall, 1-2, and ended the season with a flourish to go 8-3 for the best overall record in the Southern Conference. Both teams must be thinking the same thoughts again. Defensively, Coach Bob King's squad did a fine job as well by allowing VMI a total of only 149 yards of offense. Western had a rough time moving the ball on the ground against Jacksonville's nationally ranked defense, gaining only 74 yards and holding tailback Otis Mcintosh to 59yards. However, the Catamounts aerial game compiled 181 yards. Once more, it was the sophomore passing combination of Jeff Conner to Jerry Gaines that sparked the Cats' two touchdown drives. Gaines hauled in five passes for 107 yards, running his season totals to thirteen receptions for 363 yards. "Our ground game must come around If we are to do anything consistently on offense," says Waters. After a great game in shutting out Appalachian 26-0, the Cat" amount defense had a "terrible night" against Jax State. "Our defensive line didnt get after people and put a lot of pressure on everyone else. There isnt much you can say good about your defense when 41 points are on the board a- gainst you," commented Waters. WCU soccer team suffers loss at Davidson 2-1 Tuesday afternoon, the Western Carolina soccer team suffered its first defeat of the season against Davidson College, 2-1, at Davidson. First quarter went scoreless with each team holding the other offensively as well as de- fensivelvji The second period of play looked like a repeat of the first, until with 20:25 on the clock, Davidson's Tom Torne booted in the first goal of the game to give Davidson a 1-0 halftime edge. Third quarter saw the Catamount hooters picking up momentum only to be halted when the game was stopped for thirty-five minutes to wait out one of the famous Lake Norman thunder showers. Play finally resumed, and with it came the Davidson offense, in which Helmut Bern- hard scored the second point for Davidson and the game., Then came fourth quarter, and WCU's single goal which Mike Mlchener booted in on a penalty kick which resulted from a tripping penalty. Thus the game ended on the score of 2-1. The number of attempted goals came out even for both teams, at 32 attempts, but Western attempted 6 corner kicks against 2 by Davidson indicating the Cat footmen were on the offense much of the game. "I am satisfied with the team's performance. The offense as well as the defense played a fine ballgame, And all in all, I think our boys out-hustled the other team," commented soccer Coach Schrader on the team's performance. The next contest for the WCU booters will take place next Tuesday, October 12, against Furman here in Cullowhee,- REHTIK6-BOARD1N6 - BREAKlN&-£ESSONl5 or cauom£&/wtwr<4/<Y rosr Off/ce.
