  • Page 6 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5. 19 Jacksonville to be tough contender Two weeks ago it was UT-Chattanooga's "Wreckers," last week it was Appalachian State's "SWAT" and this week it will be the "Red Bandits." "It's beginning to look like we don't play anybody that gives up any points," said Western Carolina Head Coach Bob Waters as he prepared his team for its return home against Jacksonville State (Ala.) this Saturday night. Appalachian State went into last Saturday's contest with a defense that had not allowed a touchdown in its last three games. WCU scored one offensively, one defensively and got its first field goal in 14 games in a 24-17-¥>ss. Now there is Jacksonville's Gamecocks to contend with. The Jacksonville defense has given up only three touchdowns in four games and has been the mainstay ina 3-1 record thus far. "The series between Jacksonville and WCU stands at 4-2 in the Catamounts' favor and dates back to a 1934 first-meeting. Western will carry a 3-2 record into the game after having won its first three and lost its last two. "It's tough to go from 3-0 to 3-2," Waters said. Western lost its first game of the season two weeks ago to UT-Chattanooga (28-14) despite gaining 416 yards in toal offense. In that game, WCU gave up a 63-yard touchdown pass that hurt considerably. Last Saturday against Appalachian, a high snap to the WCU punter gave ASU the ball on WCU's 10-yard line and accounted for a crucial score. "We must stop giving our opponents crucial field position and easy touchdowns," Waters emphasized. Although WCU is averaging only 16.8 points per game, it has been averaging 308 yards per game in total offense. Darrell Lipford, a junior tailback, leads the team in rushing with 461 yards in four games and one play. WCU's sparkplug, however, has been junior Wayne Tolleson. As a split end, Tolleson has caught 19 passes for 378 yards on three touchdowns. He runs back kickoffs and punts, and last week against Appalachian added three more areas to his growing expertise: he kicked a 21-yard field goal and two extra points and passed two times, completing both for" 74 yards and one was a 58-yard touchdown pass. This week's 7:30 p.m. battle with Jacksonville in E. J. Whitmire Stadium could also affect WCU's lingering, if distant, hopes to regain national ranking in the NCAA Division 11 poll. WCU was ranked sixth before the Chattanooga loss and Jacksonville State was ranked seventh before its 13-3 loss to Southeastern Louisiana last week. Jacksonville's offensive attack features tailback Ken Kovacevich, who has 411 yards for JSU's ground game which has averaged 195 per game. w Soccer team = drops opener The WCU soccer team dropped its home opener over the weekend, coming up on the short end of a 4-0 decision to South Carolina. Carolina's Gamecocks held out numerous early scoring threats by the Cats and then uncranked their own attack minutes before halftime to score three quick goals within 10 minutes of the break. The loss puts the WCU record at a deceiving 0-3 mark, as the Cats dropped earlier one goal decisions to Wofford (4-3) and UNC-Asheville (5-4). In both of the losses the Catamounts held 3-0 leads at one itme before faltering in the late periods. In the UNC-A game, which was decided in two overtime periods, the Bulldogs tied Western with only 44 seconds left in regulation time. The Catamounts will try to get in the win column this Saturday on the road at Toccoa Falls College. The next WCU home game is next Wednesday against powerhouse Erskine College. The Western Carolina "B" team is currently 1-0, with a victory over Asheville (3-0) as the lone win. Last night the Catamount junior varsity hosted Montreat-Anderson in a 7:oo contest at Whitmire Stadium, but the score was unavailable at printing time.

Thirty marching bands from a five-state area have been invited to compete in the festival, according to festival director Robert B. Welch, WCU director of bands. Welch said bands from both Carolinas, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia will take part in the festival, which is now in its seventh year. Presentation of trophies is scheduled for 5 p.m., following a five-to-eight minute field show by each participating band. There will be three categories of competition, based on the number of playing members in the band. Class A will include bands with 50 or fewer playing members, class AA, bands of 51-64 members, and class AAA, bands with 65 or more. Sweepstakes trophy winners also will be invited to perform at the WCU-Jacksonville State University football game in Whitmire Stadium Saturday night. The festival is free to the public.
