The Catanxxints committed eight offensive turnovers in losing their season opener to Bast Carolina, 14-6, then had victory- literally kicked from their hands last Sturday night when Tenn<?ssee Tech came from behind on a 46-yard field goal with 1:11 to play to win, 22-20. "About the only thing similiar in our first two games is the fact that we lost," said WCU's head coach Bob Waters. "We played real tough, aggressive football against East Carolina, but lost because of our turnovers and poor execution. Then we go out against Tix-h and got out-hit and out-hustled on both sides of the ball," he explained. Waters says his defensive line coach. Bo Set/er, best analyzed the Catamounts effort against Tennessee Tech. "He said our players thought we had won in some way the previous week at East Carolina, but Tech's players realized they had lost their game at Nicholls State, and while we were celebrating our MON.-SAT.

We. the coaching staff, take tin- blame for not having our team ready to plav tough, agressivefootball. [hat will im be the case this week,'' said Waters. "We are giving to have a tough vvit-k of practice as we have go! to establish tin- proper tempo in practice that we can earn over to Ihe game," tie added. Waters lauded the ueifoniMUXX ol his quarterback Mike Puw whose effort earned the junior signal caller Southern Conference Otfensive Haver ol the Week honors. "Mike nvovered from a poor game against East (amima with a tine JCC against livh. He was constantly under pressure, but hung in there all the way and did his best to pull it out for us." he said of the all-Southern Conference quarterback. Pueey connected on 2-4 of 42 passes for 301 yards and two touchdown completions of 21 and 70 yards to sophomore wide receiver (jorald Harp. "However." Waters noted "when you have to put the ball in the air 42 times, you have got problems with your offense and we have a critical problem in our running game." The Catanxxints have picked up only 103 yards on the ground in two games for an average of 1.6 yards per carry. "Mike is an outstanding quarterback, but I'm not sure we can expect him to continue to account for 85 percent of our total offense and be a winning football team. He will be even more effective if we can come up with a running gam- to keep the defense honest." explained Waters. There were lew good performances on Western's defease agamst Tennessee Tech with the exceptions of mrse guard lv Smith and cornerback Willie Wells. Smith was in on 11 lackles while Wells caused one fumble, broke up two passes and had five solo tackles. (hi ilu subject of last Tennessee State. Waters said Ik- is impressed with the "new spirit and enthusiasm" Injected into the Buccaneers program by new head coach .lack Carlisle-. "They have a lot going for them oyer there with the dome and membership in our conference. And on the field, they have a fine passes, solid running backs and an excellent kicking game. They are on the verge of turning it around. I just hope ihey wait another week." the Buccaneers lost their season opener last Saturday to Mississippi College, 17-3. East Tennessee State, who WCU will face this Saturday evening at 7:30 in Johnson City, Tennessee, is a largly re-built team this year. ETSU is under the direction of new head coach Jack Carlisle who has eight offensive and eight defensive starters from last year with one all-star candidate, running back Greg Wilson. The Buccaneers finished seventh in the Ohio Valley conference last year with a 3-8-0 record. This year, ETSU became part of the Southern Conference and is its newest member. Even though ETSU will not be in competition for the league title this year, they will be trying to rebuild in the new conference and assemble a winning team after si v oral years of losing seasons. Last year the Cats defeated ETSU 35-0, but the Buccaneers lead the series 11-6-1. Overtime victory gives WCU 'hard fought9 win Western Carolina's sivcer team Opened its season successfully lasi Saturday with a hard-fought 2-1 overtime win oyer Toccoa College in Toccoa, Georgia. The winning goal came 3:12 into the overtime period w hen freshman Taylor Warner took a pass from another rookie. Paul Garth, and kicked past the Toccoa goalie. David Jones, a junior, gave Western the lead early in the second half after a scoreless first half. Toccoa tied it up with 22 minutes remaining and neither team could score in the remaining regulation time. Western took 43 shots on goal while limiting Toccoa to 11 attempts. Dr. Charles Schrader, in his tenth season as the WCU soccer coach, said it was difficult to determine the strength of his team after the opening game. "I was pleased with our hustle and conditioning and we passed the ball well. We will find out a lot about this team Wednesday night when we meet Central Wesleyan," he said. The Catamounts were playing in 95 degree weather and several of them went the entire 110 minutes. Schrader noted the play of fullbacks Mike Booker and Phil Bond; links Scott Grumman and Rupert Stout; along with Warner, Jones and Garth. Western will continue a two-game homestand this Saturday night at 7 p.m. when VMI pays a visit to Whitmire Stadium for the first Southern Conference matchup of the season. Last year, VMI defeated the Catamounts, 2-1 in Lexington, Virginia. Paul Ganth controls the ball as Western defeated Central Wesleyan 4-2 last night in the Cat's first home game. Coming from behind, the Cats scored three unanswered goals against Central as David Jones, Scott Grumman and Phil Bonds led the attack. WCU's next home game will be against VMI in Whitmire Stadium Saturday night at 7 p.m.
