  • page 6 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Thursday, September 28, 1972 Catanr>oor)^ By ANDY LANDES Sports Editor One can only speculate as to whether last week's football win over the Citadel wiU help, or hinder, Western Carolina's chances to gain Southern Conference; membership. On {he one hand some S.C. teams may be> impressed by the Cats gridiron strength, and feel that WCU would add luster and quality to the sagging Southern image. On the other hand there could be a feeling of jealousy. The more WCU whips Southern football teams, the greater the ring of protection that cpuld emerge. If the Citadel were voting on admission this week, they could very understandably look to the negative side with the memory of the 10-0 shellacking so fresh In their minds. "I'm not sure what effect our competition with Southern Conference teams that takes place in the meantime between the vote has on our chances," says head football coach and athletic director Bob Waters. "Our beating the Citadel can't hurt, and may to some degree help, our chances for admission," he says. WCU's results with Southern teams will probably not play a major role in their determination of "yea" or "nay" (five of the eight teams have to approve). Steve White, WCU's sports Information director, thinks most decisions will be based on considerations such as geography, facilities, and administration. Western's location would be a plus for such nearby schools as Furman, Davidson, Appalachian State, and The Citadel. Steve thinks the Southern's Virginia will be inclined to oppose WCU's membership on this basis. Completion of the new football stadium can only help boost chances with everyone. And, says Steve, Western Carolina football could add to the Southern's prestige and scope. To date there has been no official declaration of intention to expand. Some teams may be negatively effected by an odd number of teams. Thus Steve believes that If the Southern Conference admits WCU it wUl also bring inanother school—probably East Tennessee State of Johnson City, presently a member of the Ohio Valley Conference. Another big hurdle will be the NCAA.' Western was iust admitted to the small college division, and presently any new Institution must wait at least two years before becoming eligible for conference membership. This requirement was waived for Appalachian State, though. With all of the potential stumbling blocks and red tape involved, some may wonder why we are trying to get into the Southern Conference In the first place. What's all this hassle going to accomplish anyway? Waters feels there are many advantages to be gained. "First is scheduling. We would be much less limited in who, where, and when we competed. "Another big thing Is that we could play for many more championships. We are very limited In that capacity now. "The association would be good for us, and it would help us revenue-wise. I think we would have more appeal to the fans, and draw more in Cullowhee," offers the ex-NFL'er. WCU Ranked 10th As Cat pigskin fever rises In Cullowhee with each gridiron success, so goes the national football barometer. This week's UPI ratings list Western Carolina as number ten in the country, up from the eighteenth slot during the previous week. TEAM POINTS 1. Delaware (20 (2-0) 324 2.
