  • Page 6 •THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1975 SPORT O Cats vs. ECU; Water's down The last time Western Carolina University and East Carolina University met on the gridiron, it was homecoming day in Greenville, twelve years ago. The 1963 ECU football team pleased the alumni to no end the October afternoon by handing the Catamounts one of their worst defeats ever, 50-0, Western will be the Pirates' guest for another homecoming this Saturday afternoon and the Catamounts coach thinks a rerun of that fiasco is possible. "If we play like we did last Saturday, a lot of East Carolina people will thur- oughly enjoy themselves Saturday afternoon," said Bob Waters. WCU (2-3), which had appeared to be on the way back with two straight wins after a poor start, slid backwards on a 23-14 loss to Wofford last weekend. Meanwhile, East Carolina's defense shut out a good Citadel team, 3-0, to even its record at 3-3. The Pirates also have wins over William and Mary and Southern Illinois with losses to Appalachian State, Richmond and NC State. "East Carolina is better than anyone we have faced this season, so that should tell everyone what we are up a- gainst," Waters warned. "They (ECU) have been up and down, but Pat Dye has a talented and tough bunch of football players that have improved each week—something we haven't done. They proved themselves offensively against Southern Illinois (41 points)and defensively last week, I just hope they don't put both parts together this week," he said. Waters says his Catamount have him puzzled. "We appeared to be making some real progress in the wins over Murray State and Presbyter ian, but fell flat on our bottoms last Saturday—it's hard to understand." Defensively, WCU had its worst game in over two years as Wofford rolled up 337 yards on the ground and added 116 through the air. Waters admits that his defense is young, evidenced by the group of seven freshman and sophomores that started last week. "We didn't appear to know what we were doLng- hopefully it is because we are so young and inexperienced," he said. He blamed turnovers and poor blockingfortheCats'mea- ger offense, along with only 56 possessions, "It was simple," he explained. "Our line played poorly, our backs failed to pick up their blitz, our receivers couldn't hold the football and the defense let Wofford keep the football most of the night (73 plays)." When asked what the future holds for the Cats, Waters said the picture was not bright. "All we can do is to continue to work hard each day in practice and hope our youngsters mature quickly and our veterans become better leaders," he noted. "This team has got to get tougher, both mentally and physically. It hasn't learned to cope with adversity, which is a sign of a lack of maturity," he said in describing the Cats' plight. "We haven't had an easy first half of the season, but the second half of our schedule is going to be much more difficult. Unfortunately, we did sign contracts for those five games, so I guess we will have to show up," he added. Waters said about the only "good" thing he could think of that has come out of his team's disappointing season to date is that "a lot more athletic directors are going to be in their offices in December when I call about scheduling football games for the future." SPORTS SHORTS TICKETS WCU football fans planning to attend the WCU - East Carolina University game in Greenville, NC Saturday afternoon are advised to purchase their tickets before game time as the game will be ECU's homecoming. Tickets for this game are on sale at the Jordan-Phillips Field House through Thursday afternoon for S7 which is the price for ALL ECU tickets. A full house is expected. Also, tickets are available for the WCU - U.T. Chattanooga game on October 25 at the ticket office in Jordan- Phillips Field House. A sell- out is expected at Chattanooga as it is homecoming day there also. These tickets are pricec at $4.50 for all seats. SOCCER Western Carolina University's soccer team is on the road in Boone today for a game with Appalachian State University. Game time is set for 6:30 at ASU's football-soccer stadium, which sports the same type artificial turf as WCU. Appalachian State will probably be one of the toughest matches of the season, as the Mountaineers are currently ranked #6 in the South with an unblemished 7«»0 record. ASU has become a major power in soccer in the last few years due to heavy recruiting and scholarships and has won the Southern Conference title for three years in a row. WCL must also face nationally ranked ErskineCollege next Tuesday in Due West SC, before returning home next Thursday for a game with Tus- culum College. VOLLEYBALL The WCU Women's Volleyball team will open its home schedule this Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in Breese Gym against Mars Hill College. Coach Betty Peele's team won its first two matches of the season, over Mars Hill and Milligan, but lost last weekend to Appalachian State and Elon. & ijMtes dewnstmiMteil FINE FASftoMS tm\ A SECRET LIFE YOU CAN SHARE G£T IN ON rr NOW.
