  • TUESDAY OCTOBER 29, 1974 Six straight THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN page 3 Presbyterian falls to roaring Cats _ Western Carolina Univer sity's streaking Catamounts recovered from the shock of an early Presbyterian College score and came roaring back with three touchdowns before halftime on its way to a 28- -10 victory in Clinton, South Carolina Saturday night, The win was the sixth straight for the Catamounts and their ninth victory in the last ten games. Presbyterian, thanks to a couple of penalties levied a- gainst WCU, scored midway of the opening quarter and that appeared to awaken the Cats who had missed an earlier scoring opportunity on a fumble at the PC one yard line. The Catamounts got most of their season high 445 yards of offense intheremaining21 minutes of the first half. A Jeff Walker to Jerry Gaines pass play covering 51 yards set up the Cats first score, a six-yard reverse by Eagle Moss. Western mounted a drive that took it from the WCU 14 to the PC 13, despite a pair of 15 yard penalties, but failed to score when Jimmy Joyce was wide to the right on a 31 yard field goal attempt. After a series of punts, the Catamounts took over on the PC 48 and drove to their second score in just three plays - a 15 yard pass to Gaines; a 10 yard run by Darrell Lipford; and a 23 yard touchdown romp by Herb Cole. Cole's second TD came just 45 seconds later when he bolted in from the four yard line. WCU keeps up with the best By Hank Komodowski Sports Editor Western Carolina University's high-flying cross country team showed true class over the weekend streaking to a fourth place finish in the North Carolina State Cross Country Championship. The event, held in Raleigh, is one of true significance due to the impressive field of entrants. Taking the 1-2-3 positions in the team totals were: Duke, 28; North Carolina, 56; andN.C. State, 79. All three of these schools are national powers and definitely outclassed most of the field. Western Carolina, however, paced by the fifth place individual finish of Dennis Kas- przyk, ran to a team total of 133 points, beating such other powerhouses as East Carolina (134), Appalachian State (157), Pembroke State (171), and Wake Forest (261). Other finishers included Brevard, High Point, Campbell and Davidson. The big story of the meet was the performance of the Cats' Kasprzyk and Gray Knott. Kasprzyk finished in front of all but three Duke runners and one ECU man. He was the top freshman, and turned in a great showing in the 87 - man field. Knott, a sophomore, finished 17th overall and was a big factor in the remarkable Western performance. In a winningtime of 24:17.9, WCU was only three seconds off the third place time and its top two runners were well up in the pack. Western Carolina's Dean Presson, Rick Gehle and Randy Helderman also ran good races, finishing within a 39-second spread that was not too far off the pace. According to WCU coach Paul Jones, "This was an upset for a lot of people, but not for us. We knew we could do it, we've been working hard. "The top runners in the nation were here and we showed we could at least run with them. The papers (Raleigh) said nothing about our chances but we ran well," he added. Soccer teams split pair Western Carolina University's soccer teams split a pair of games during the past week as the "B" team shut out Mon- treat-Anderson, College 2-0, and the varsity team dropped a tough 3-2 decision to the University of South Carolina. In Sunday afternoon's game against South Carolina, WCU senior Ed Stolle scored the first WCU goal less than two minutes into the game to give Western the early lead. USC's Gamecocks rallied late in the half, however, to take a 2-1 advantage into the intermission. A penalty kick in the second half gave South Carolina a 3-1 lead before Western Carolina halfback Manny Taylor, a senior, hit Stolle with a pass late in the half, Stolle rammed home the Taylor assist to close the gap to 3-2. In Western's 2-0 victory over Montreat-Anderson, coach Mike Bruder's squad took early control of the action yet only converted on two goals. Forward Hank Komodowski scored the first goal for the Catamounts late in the first half on a 15-yard shot. Sophomore Chip Smith assisted the goal with his throw-in. In the second half Smith cut in front of a Montreat defender to intercept a pass and raced 50 yards on a breakaway goal to ice the contest for the Cats. The Western Carolina soccer "B" team faces Montreat- Anderson again Wednesday afternoon at 3 p.m., this time in the Cats own Whitmire Stadium.

Jones was especially pleased with placing over ECU by one point, and the thrashing of Appalachian and Pembroke State, both good running schools. WCU also revenged an earlier 1- point loss to ASU, The score was set up by a fumble recovery by freshman linebacker Kenny Davis at the PC 23 and took only four plays to give WCU a 21-7 lead. Presbyterian narrowed the gap to 11 points, 21-10, with a George Camp field goal with only eight seconds showing on the first half clock. The third quarter was a punting contest between PC's Buddy Holwell and WCU's Chuck Mil- ner as neither team seriously threatened. The Blue Hose moved down to the Western 7 early in the fourth quarter, but cornerback David Rathburn intercepted in the endzone to end the threat. However, Western iced the game with less than three minutes showing when Davis, who was subbing for the injured Steve Yates, intercepted a PC pass at his own 42 and returned it 53 yards to set up a five yard scoring run by Lipford. Gaines strengthened his bid for the NCAA Division 11 pass receiving title with seven catches for 180 yards. Lipford had his best running night of his rookie season with 123 yards in 23 carries. Cole added 39 yards and Jeff Kir- win picked up 46 more. The blocking of center Wrche Bryce, tight end Mike Green and guard Robbie Slack were highly responsible for Western's season high 245 yards rushing. Head coach nob waters was- i nt particularly impressed with his team's performance, "e- ven though we held them to ten points, it was the low point of the season for our defensive unit, We gave up too much [yardage to Presbyterian. The j only time we played inspired j football was when we had our j backs to the wall," he pointed out. We need this open date to heal up and regain our momentum for Carson-Newman, Western Kentucky and Wofford." -m\m iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ill iiiii mi ii imiuii iiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiii iiiiiiiniiiimm^ BOBS SPORT STORE Directly in Front Dayco Southern SPORTING GOODS-ALL KINDS Golf Clubs, Water Skis, Football, Hand Ball, Soccer Shoes s = I STYLO SOCCER SHOES - $19-95 | GOLDEN RAM GOLF BALLS - . $7 ."80-12 . 00/DOZ .
