  • —Sports WCU vs ASU SC Rivalry Kicks Off For 1980 WCU defensive coach Don Powers and Head Coach Bob Waters discuss strategy with linebacker Ricky Smith During Saturday's action against Marshall. The Cats will take their tenacious defense to Saturday for a Southern Conference Matchup. Carolinian Photo by Robert Lahser. ASU Harp And Beasley Finest Pass Receivers In College History Saturday's tangle between the Catamounts of Western Carolina University and the Mountaineers of Appalachian State will be a very special 45th renewal of the mountain rivalry. Although there will not be a Southern Conference championship at stake for either team, and the game will not have the attention from the media it has had in recent match-ups, all eyes will be on two special performers. The WCU-ASU games this season will feature two of the finest pass receivers in major college history with Western's Gerald Harp and Appalachian's Rick Beasley. Both are seniors, and both are high on the all-time pass receiving charts. In fact, this could be the first time in major career receiving yards they have been on the same field. Harp comes into the game with 3.128 career receiving yards and 186 pass receptions. The Red Oak, Georgia native is fourth on the all-time receiving lists, only 215 yards behind the man in third place, former Tulsa University great, Howard Twilley. Harp, in third place in receptions is 26 behind the number two receiver, Ron Sellers, who accumulated 212 catches at Florida State back in the sixities. With 25 career touchdown pass receptions, Harp is fourth on that all time category. He is 321 yards behind the WCU record holder in career receiving, the former College Division Ail-American, Jerry Gaines who had 3,449 yards from 1971 to 1974. Harp currently has 44 catches for 687 yards this season. Beasley. a second team AP Ail-American last year, has totalled 172 receptions and 3,003 yards. He is fifth (behind Harp in receiving yardage) and is sixth on the all-time receptions leaders, and ranks seventh with 22 career touchdown passes. Beasley has caught 38 passes for 837 yards this season, as he an Harp have been in the nation's top ten in receiving all season long. Although Western has lost two of the three games against ASU that Harp has participated in, the 5-9 160 pound speedster has had good games against the Mountaineers. Harp has caught 17 passes for 261 yards and three touchdowns in his career against Appalachian. Does he feel any added pressure going into the game? "I really don't feel anything. I know there will be lots of people there comparing Beasley and me, so I want to do well, but there is really no real pressure. The pressure is to win the game. Anyway, whoever plays for a winning team will be considered the best receiver, more or less." Harp says. No matter who wins the team or individual battles it should be interestine—and memorable. Western Carolina's and Appalachian State's football teams did not win before their respective homecoming crowds lasi Saturday afternoon. Missed conversion kicks played a role in both teams not winning. Each team depends heavily upon the passing game for success. The similarities between the teams end with those points as ASU will be the odds-on favorite for the 45th meeting between the mountain rivals. Appalachian State, with perhaps its finest team in five seasons brings a 5-3 record into the annual battle for braggtn' rights in the mountains of North Carolina while Western Carolina is struggling through a disappointing season with a 2-5-1 mark. In all statistical categories, ASU is clearly the superior team. The Mountaineers also hold a decided edge when comparing scores with common opponents. However, the old cliche about "throwing away the stats, records and past performance" is an apt description of ihe Western Carolina/Appalachian State football rivalry. When the ball is teed up for the 1:30 p.m. kickoff in Conrad Stadium iii Boone Saturday, the favorite had better beware for a couple of reasons. First, history shows that the underdog has won half of the games played in the last decade. Most prominent of those upsets was Western's 20-11 win in 1975 when the 2-7 Catamounts dumped the 7-2 Mountaineer team that had beaten East Carolina, Wake Forest and South Carolina. ASU got even two years ago when they cost Western the Southern Conference championship with a 39-13 upset in Cullowhee before a regional television audience. Secondly. Western Carolina has always played well at Conrad Stadium, having won six of nine games played there. Even though the Catamounts have lost their last two games in Boone (24-17 in 1976 and 35-27 last season), they had a chance to either win or tie both games in the closing seconds of play. In addition, ASU should also remember that in the Catamounts only two losing seasons under Bob Waters guidance, they defeated outstanding Mountaineer teams. In 1971, WCU finished 4-6, but defeated an Appalachian team that went 7-3-1 by a 26-0 count. ASU Continues on page 17... WCU Tailback Leonard Williams eludes a determined Marshall defense in Saturday's game. The Cats travel Carolinian Photo bv Mark Haskett to Boone this week to take on arch-rival Appalachian State in a 1:00 pm Southern Conference matchup. October 30,1980/ Western Carolinian/ 15
