6 Thursday, October 21, 1971 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THE CATS & 1 * "**> >- Ju>fit Jim Rowtll Click. . .click, c . click. .. etc., etc., seventeen times. Scratch Furman, Pembroke State, Troy State, High Point, West Georgia, Berry College, Georgia Southern, Emory University, Armstrong State, Georgia Southwestern, Southern Tech, Appalachian State (twice), Mississippi College, and Toccoa Falls Institute, How sweet it is. All those teams have one thing in common. They have been defeated by some form of WCU athletic team during the past twelve days. And follow that with the fact that WCU has not lost once in that period. 17-0 is a formidable streak that when you figure up an athletic program's wins and losses figures heavily. Everybody must contribute, and in the past twelve days everyone has. Cross country accounted for 13 of the wins, soccer accounted for three, football accounted for one. Some people still don't accept that WCU athletics are a winner, but don't fret; let sleeping dogs lie, who cares whether they tell the truth or not. The Jungle has heard of liars before: his grandpa w told him he knew a farmer mat was such a well-known liar that he had to get his wife to call the hogs. However, the Fall sports season at this point is still in the stage of musical chairs. Momentarily, the music has stopped and all the WCU teams have a seat, but the music will be playing again this afternoon and everybody will be up again. Soccer starts the action this afternoon against Rollins College of Winter Park, Fla, They are likely the strongest team on the Western soccer schedule, and they are leading their conference in Florida. The Catamount footmen are riding the crest of a fine 5-1 season. They are good enough to beat Rollins and a win could set the stage for some big things — like a possible top ten national ranking. Rollins will be just the first few degrees of a heat wave mat Schroder's Raiders must endure. More biggies are set for Saturday. Cross country goes to the state meet in Raleigh against rugged ACC competition. The Cat runners will rack up more wins man losses. Bet your movie money on it, Football has never looked more optimistic this season, despite the fact that Livingston is ranked 14th in the NAIA national poll and defeated Jacksonville State. There is no doubt that they are another Alabama school that is loaded. Only Troy Sate has defeated them, and mat was a scant 21-20 loss. But WCU. But WCU. If you have watched a little practice this week. . .if you have felt something in the air... or maybe Hal Mote back in action. . .or maybe a little different flavor of offense (hint, hint, new plays). . .or maybe just the general attitude and enthusiam the team has, the Jungle expects you would be optimistic. Coach Waters was pleased and smiling with the offense yeaterday afternoon, with good reason, because the Cats looked mighty tough, Surprise, Livingston. A wiener—it goes in across the finish line in a exciting week. In closing, would you Graham Bell Kowalski is? telephone pole. a hot dog and is the first one Mexican race. This could be an happen to know who Alexamder That's right. He was the first Helms-Bailey 1st again The "Gold Dust Twins" are at it again. Tuesday afternoon in a dual meet held here in Cullowhee, Terry Helms and Ben Bailey tied for first place to lead Western Carolina to a 23=34 victory over Appalachian State. Running on WCU's 5.0 mile course, Helms and Bailey took the first two scoring positions with a 26:20 time, 27 seconds better than the old WCU course record. Then, Appalachian captured third and fourth place slots as George Phillips (26:53) and Rohm Clark (27:02) scored the first ASU points. WCU's Randy Helderman turned in a 27:62 time for fifth place, followed by ASU's Rick Shriver at 27:21 in sixth. The remaining Western Carolina scoring came as Tom Gibbons (27:35)andSteveFleming (27:40) came in seventh and eighth respectively. ASU's Jim Driver finished ninth at 27:40, just ahead of Western's Jerry Greene (28:25) in tenth. This Saturday, October 23, the Western Carolina runners will travel to Raleigh, N.C. to compete in the State Meet. SYLVA, PHAfctAACY ALL HOUR PHOTOGRAS FtLNV 1 A WCU TOUCHDOWN DEVELOPS and it was impressive. Sophomore David Hackett (31) sets his sights on the wide hole he popped through for 88 yards and the longest scoring run from scrimmage in WCU football history. (Photo by Livingston KeUey) Cats visit Livingston Sat. Have Western Carolina's young Catamounts come of age?! Many WCU observers think k the uats 37-0 win over Mississippi College last Saturday night was an indication of things to come. For those who still have doubts, the moment of truth is close at hand. The Catamounts will be making their second trip of the season to the state of Alabama this weekend to test another Gulf-South Conference power. Livingston University, currently ranked 14th in the NAIA poll, will be hosting WCU Saturday night and the Cats hope they wUl have something good to say about deep South hospitality this time. Three weeks ago, Western was humiliated by another Alabama team, Jacksonville State, 41=14. By comparative scores, the Cata- mounts should be in for an even rougher time Saturday night as Livingston downed Jackson= viUe 10-9 earlier in the season. The Tigers, 4=1, have also beaten Samford 28-3, Southern State 7-0, and the Quantico Marines 17=13. Their only loss was to Troy State, 21=20. "When the season began, we figured JacksonviUe would be our toughest assignment, Now, Livingston appears to be the best we will face this year," said Bob Waters, WCU's worried mentor. "Livingston is a big, strong team and has the toughest offensive line and most versatile triple option offense we have seen." The Catamounts, now 2-4, rushed for a surprising 335 yards in the convincing win and added another 131 yards through the air. Tailback Otis Mcln- tosh added three more touchdowns, giving him a career record total of 33, and scored his 200th point in the process. The AsheviUe senior's next goal is 3,000 yards rushing. He now has 2,685 yards after last week's 147 yard performance. Waters was very pleased to have his ground game clicking again but, expressed concern over the last week's limited effectiveness of the usually pro= lific passing attack. "It will take a maximum offensive effort of the ground and through the air to beat a team of Living- ston's caliber," said Waters. The Cats top receivers, split end Jerry Gaines and fuUback Eddy Sveum, are expected to be back in the lineup at full strength this weekend to give the Cats passing game a boost, Turbyfill week s top Cat Western Carolina rushed for 335 yards last Saturday night and crushed Mississippi Col= lege 37-0. When a football team gains over 300 yards on the ground, heaps of praise and most of the credit is directed towards the offensive backs, UsuaUy forgotten is the man who throws the routine block to spring the back on his exciting run. However, the WCU coaching staff did not forget the unsung heroes on the Catamounts offensive line this week as they singled out center Sidney Turbyfill for the CAT OF THE WEEK honors. Turbyfill, a 6' 0", 215 pound senior, turned in an almost perfect blocking performance of 92% against Mississippi College which aided in the compiling of Western's largest rushing yardage total in four years. He was also instrumental in preventing the Mississippi defense from touching the Catamount quarterbacks, "Sidney has probably the toughest assignment of the offensive line—to give the quarterback a good snap and then block," said WCU Coach Bob Waters. "His overall blocking percentage is the highest on the team," added the Catamount mentor. The Lincolnton, North Carolina native moved intothe starting lineup at mid-season last fall and has- been a regular since.
