  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN TUESDAY. OCTOBER 12. 1976 " >\ EVEtA Ca*0-\\A\ SPORTS Western tops Jax, but hard times not over Western's 14-13 win over Jacksonville State last Saturday had a season's worth strange occurences. First, JSU won the toss and elected to kick off, rather than receive. Walker took the kickoff all the was tor the school-record breaking score. The decision proved even more inportant when WCU look the second half kickoff and drove lM yards to score when quarterback Keith Scoggins hit Tolleson with a 32-yard strike. " I heir defense was the toughest we'd faced this season, just as we expected." Waters said. "We didn't play well offensively. We played hard, but not well. They did a lot of jumping around and we didn't pick il up real well." Defensively. Western allowed .1S11 to drive inside its 10-yard line on two occasions and lo its 12 one time, bin denied the visitors points on all three fe dv. Wa nk we placed a gO( , plaj game defensively. But w football both on offense or defense. Usually give skull and crossbonc stickers to players for important plays. This week we may jusi give oul bone suckers, lor some of our boners." I.ale in the game. .ISLJ attempted a field goal and WCL: took possession of the ball at its own one-yard line when the kick failed. With 13 seconds left. WCU had ihe ball with a fourth and nine al ils own two yard line and had a 14-11 lead. WCU elected to surrender a safety by snapping the ball out of the cnt.\ /one and thereby getting a free kick. "That was an easy decision." said Waters. "I didn't want to give anybody a chance to handle the ball down there. We could have run around with the ball and let them tackle i worth three seconds." .ISU had a chance by thr< . but the ing long as time i Cats lose Tolleson to rib damage . Inn Walker intercepted on the play. A personal I penalty gave JSU another chance after time expired, but another long pass was intercepted Walker again, his fifth interception of the Western Carolina University solved one problem last Saturday night, but in the process the Cats may have wound up with a more serious one. Western solved the problem of how to score on Jacksonville State's rugged defensive unit on the fust play of the game when senior safety Harvev Walker returned the opening kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown. And later, the Catamounts did something that no other team had done against the Gamecocks all season, drove the ball all the way down the field for a touch- ic win. which made WCU 4-2, ily. Starting split end Wayne the Cats' most dangerous 2 and v t for eks. has thrown twice for 74 yards and another touchdown. "His loss hurts even more since our other veteran wide receiver, Jeff Ciccone, has been injured since the Livingston game," said Waters. This Saturday's 2 p.m. game in Johnson City. Tenn.. against East Tennessee State had already taken on a difficult look with the Buccaneers' surprising 28-16 win over Western Kentucky in their last outing. It marked the first time since 1969 that ETSU had beaten Western Kentucky and may well have been the biggest win in East Tennessee head coach Rov Fra/ier's career. ETSU jumped out front by 21 points in the first quarter in that game and quarterback Gary Jennings riddled the WKU secondary. Jennings completed 14 of 23 passes for 250 yards, threw for "You only have to look at the stat sheet and what he's done for us this season to see how big a loss that will be to our team," said WCU head coach Bob Waters. Tolleson leads WCU in pass receiving with 23 catches for 445 yards lehdo" and hin elf. md I heir homeci home light has foui S the te; touch doi He ring ith 31 points alter having taken over the offensive place-kicking duties with 4-of-4 point-afters and a field goal. Tolleson also runs back punts and kickoffs and ling games that WCU play in-ihe Cats will provide the opposition for Woffard and East Carolina's homecomings next, and then come home on Nov. 6 for their final game of the year and their own homecoming against Lenoir-Rhyne.
