  • 10 Thursday. October 28, 1971 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Harriers place fourth at N.C. State meet "Overall, wi aimed in a better performance, but still finished fourth," commented track coach, Koger Thomas in regard to last Saturdays trip to the 23rd Annual State Cross Couatry Championship at Ral- eigh, NX. Tallying 113 points, the Western Carolina harriers captured fourth position in a field of 12 teams* The Blue Devils of Duke University scored 39 points to win the event, with the University of North Carolina (45) second and North Carolina State University (94) third. Trailing behind the Catamounts came East Carolina University (124) fifth, Appalachian State University (138) sixth, Pembroke State 051) seventh, Guilford (268) eighth. Methodist College (271) ninth, and Campbell (283) tenth, followed by Wake Forest and high Point In individual standings, Western finished with better positions this year as Ben Bailey turned in a 26:04 time to take fifth place and Terry Helms finished 11th at 27:53. WCO's Tom (iibbons camo in 30th at 27:58, with Steve Fleming close behind at 28r01 in 31st place* Jerry Greene finished 41st at 28:30, followed by Randy Helderman in 45th position at 28:46. Nick Frey came in 48tht with Farrell Parker (29;56) 57thand Mike Prozaileck (31:03) 63rd, The harriers nexc contest will be a dual meet here in Cullowhee Saturday morning at 11:00 against Western Kentucky* THE CATS & ^a THE JUNGLE ► * 4 Jim fie Jia Rowtll Even if you're on the right track, when you lay down somebody will come along and run over you. The Cats will testify to that. And, it doesn't matter whether you ask soccer-Cats, Football-Cats, or cross-country-^ats. They all took their hard knocks this week. For football, it was a trip to Disneyland. Actually it was a trip to Livingston, Alabama, but the place could have qualified for Disneyland in that it was so Mickey Mouse. 'Cause if you are among a number of people who think that Cullowhee is the end of the world, you haven't been to Livingston. The Tigers were ranked number nine in the NAIA„ If you think this column is a joke, you should have seen the number nine team. Western outclassed them and would-you- believe outplayed them. But it was the Murray State game all over again; fumbles and rain, fumbles and rain. Coach Bob Waters' Catamounts are now 2-5 and must win all the remaining games to break even for the season. Elon is next on the agenda this weekend in Burlington. As they are leading the Carolinas Conference and all, and it will be their homecoming, score the game another toughie for the Cats. Thus, Adam once said to Eve: "After we eat this apple what are we gonna do?" It takes years of hard work to become a success overnight. Soccer missed a chance to become a success overnight Tuesday when they lost to Erskine. It's a hell of a thing to have happen in the middle of the season. Unlike last season when the factor for determining the team to get a berth in the Area playoffs depended on overall record, this year everything hinged on one game for both WCU and Erskine. That game was Tuesday between the two schools. Both had identical 6-1 records. Western played hard enough against favored Rollins to have won two matches, but against Erskine they didn't play hard enough to win one period. The Catamounts didn't play their type of game and Erskine's talented Kiki Ojeda (Costa Rica) and Charlie McGinty took advantage for a 5-2 win. WCU still has a slick 6-2 record and some rough competition ahead...like Clemson this Saturday. When you consider soccer gives no scholarships, they are looking good. They practice, they play, they win because they want to and only when they want to. Cross country proved its strength once again at the State Meet in Raleigh as they took the number four position in North Carolina. The ACC schools flexed their budgets once again this year for the top three positions: 1) Duke 2) UNC 3) NC State. The WCU runners came home ahead of Wake Forest and East Carolina along with six other teams. And now as the sun sinks low over Hopkins' bronze statue of Steve Gheen it is time to close this column. Remember boobies—Woman who drives like lightening always striking trees. And the word is that THE PAW had an accident while moonlighting as a plumber. The Paw's face flushed, but his broad shoulders saved him. 1971 I rosluiM'ii Fool ball Elite 1971 Catamount Freshman Coaches are left to right graduate assistants Tommy Campbell, Keith Elliott, John Taylor, Tom Wright, and Steve Curtis - head.
