  • Page 10 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY JANUARY 9, 1975 VVESTEC^I QaI^cLjNJIAM £ Df^&T S Catamounts confront Wolfpack tonight 'We are looking forward to the challenge and experience of playing against them," says coach Jim Hartbarger when asked about the awesome task that confronts his Western Carolina University team when it meets North Carolina State tonight in Raleigh. Hartbarger says the Catamounts are not awed by the defending national champions. Tipoff time for the first basketball meeting ever between the schools is set for 7:30 p.m, in the 12,400 seat William Neal Reynolds Coliseum. WCU dropped a 95-85 decision to Austin Peay State on the road Monday night and will take a 5-5 record into Thursday's game. The Wolfpack, 9-1 for the season, had a 36-game win streak snapped last Friday night by Wake Forest in the Big Four Tournament and lost its hold on the nation's No. 1 ranking. The last time WCU played a team of State's stature was back in the 1956-57 season when the University of North Carolina helped to dedicate Reid Gymnasium. The Tar Heels made the Catamounts one of their 32 victims on the way to the NCAA title. Hartbarger said he had hoped the Wolfpack would have been unbeaten and still ranked No. 1 when his team arrived in Raleigh. "We might have caught them looking ahead to Maryland and it would have increased our chances of playing them close. On the other hand, that loss to Wake Forest proves that they are humans and can make mistakes like us." When asked what plans he Two gridders make All-America teams Western Carolina University's 1974 football team recently accomplished another first when two members of the highly acclaimed squad were named to the first units of different All America teams. Jerry Gaines and Steve Yates climaxed their headline- filled collegiate careers with the highest honors awarded by coaches and sportswriters. WCU has had eight previous football All America picks, but never before have two Cata- mounts been selected in the same season. Gaines was picked by the American Football Coaches Association to its Kodak College Division All-America as a first team split end. The 5'9" senior from Chesapeake, Virginia rewrote the pass receiving department of the WCU record book during the past four seasons. He caught 167 passes for 3,449 yards and 21 touchdowns and added enough yards on kick returns, rushing, andpassingto push him over the 4,000 yard total career yardage mark. Coach Bob Waters calls Gaines "the finest athlete I've ever coached." "Jerry epitomizes everything All America stands for. We are going to not only m'ss his athletic contributions, but his dedication, character and leadership just as much," Waters added. Yates, who played linebacker at 6'2", 226 pounds, is the mostacclaimed defensive player in Western's history. The product of Central Cabarrus High in Concord was named to the first defensive team of the Associated Press College Division All America. He was a second team selection on the AP's 1972 team. "Steve is everything you could ask for in a defensive player. He played with a great amount of intensity, loved contact, and refused to compromise with defeat," said Waters. "He played with a painful shoulder injury for much of the season, but refused to let up. A player like Steve Yates doesn't come along often enough," he added. Gaines and Yates thus join seven other former Catamounts who won All America honors on the gridiron. They are Art Byrd (1949), Frank Stankunas (1962), John Ruta(1965), Jimmy Williams (1966), Don Dalton (1969), Steve Williams (1971) and Mark Ferguson (1973). had for- stopping All American David Thompson, the nation's leading scorer, Hartbarger answered "I don't have anything special designed defensively. Nothing any team has tried for the past two seasons has stopped him from shooting. We would like to make him shoot from the outside and hope he has a cold night like he did against Wake Forest." Turning to his own team, Hartbarger said he was pleased and disappointed with the Catamounts showing against Austin Peay. "We played good basketball for about 30 m'nutes... real good considering the three week layoff. However, we are still making a lot of stupid mistakes," he said. "I still think we are going to have a fine basketball team this winter. Two or three more games should make a difference," he added. He pointed out that the number of times Austin Peay went to the foul line (31), his team's poor foul shooting (7 of 17) and the departure of 6'9" Kirby Thurston via the foul route with ten minutes to play were also contributing factors in the loss. Personnel wise, Hartbarger lauded the play of Thurston (24 points in 26 m'nutes) as "our best performance of the night," and said he was encouraged with the play of Albert Toomer off the bench and transfer forward Willie Hamilton, who appears to be recovered from a shoulder injury. After the meeting with State, WCi: will take on Mars Hill in Canton Saturday night at the Pisgah High Gymnasium,. This " game was originally scheduled for the Asheville Civic Center. N.C. State's David Thompson, and the Wolfpack meet the Catamounts tonight at 7:30 in Reynolds Coliseum. Conference delays WCU bid by Hank Komodowski Western Carolina University must wait until May to find out if it will be accepted into the Southern Conference. That was the decision reached at the Conference's winter meeting at Virginia Militarv Institute. Dr. Francis Bonner, conference president and faculty chairman at Furman University, said that action will be taken after a special committee makes a final report on WCU. Findings from other committees must have been somewhat favorable in order for Western to even sub- mit formal application. WCU must, however, change somethings in its sports program. Some of these include bringing its schedules up to NCAA Division 1 levels and its athletic grant-in-aids into the same degree. „ t avorable votes from six of eight schools are required for admission. Other colleges in the conference include Furman, Davidson, VMI, Richmond, and William and Mary. Have the words "Western Carolina University" finally- reached the open ear? Will the initials WCU ever carry the weight of a UCLA, USC, UNC, etc.? As far as sports are concerned, it appears that this may well be happening. Tonight, for example, the Catamounts are in Raleigh. The reason: a game with the national champions of collegiate basketball. A month ago the scene was Ruston, Louisiana. The sport was different, but the class of competition was the same. Then it was football, the opponent, Louisiana Tech as the nationally number one ranked team in small college football. This is not to say that "good ole Western Carolina" is going to win a national title every year. It is not even to say the Cats are going to stay even with the Wolfpack of N.C. State tonight. What it may be saying is that Cullowhee is no longer the home of Cullowhee Normal and Industrial School, As a university, Western has some of the best athletic teams around for its size. One reason the WCU teams have gone virtually unnoticed, however, is the fact that Western Carolina is not in an athletic conferecne. As a collegiate independent, Western can gain playoff berths only by receiving an "at large" invitation. This means that WCU must have virtually an undefeated season to receive recognition, whereas a conference affiliated team need only beat other teams in their conference. This is not to say that Western has not tried. But at its meeting the Southern Conference voted "to not vote" on Western Carolina as a member until spring. Sports may not be the best was to put WCU on the map, but it has helped in many places across the nation to bring the name of a college out of the doldrums. It could work here. Watch the coming seasons to find out. It might be interesting... As for the WCU-N.C. State game tonight: The difference will not be over 15 points... Sports writers are supposed to be biased, as optimists. Make that 13 points.
