Apps Go To Indian Area
To Avenge Newberry Loss
BY LARRY G. JULIAN ^ •'
Saturday night the Appalach
ian State Mountaineers will don
their white jerseys and head for
Indian territory deep in the Pal
metto State to contest the New
berry College tribe.
Newberry spelled trouble for
the Apps in 1966 topping the
Black and Gold 15-14 on a two
point conversion. The Mo unties
returned the favor last year
in their opening tilt by down
ing Newberry 21-12 in a not
too impressive showing. The
Indians have a new chief in
Fred Herren, formerly an as
sistant with the Furman Pal
adins. Even with a tepeeful of
returnees, the Indians aren’t
expected to present too much in
the way of opposition and sev
eral pollsters have picked them
to hold down the last spot in
the Carolinas Conference.
Western Carolina may exper
ience its woes this year a^so.
Reports credit coach Dan Rob
inson as not being overly opti
mistic about the 1968 season.
The Cats will have David Lo
max and Bill Beaty as the top
running threats. DonDalton will
step into the quarterback job
vacated by Jim Williams. The
Apps took it on the nose from
Western last year to the tune
of 21-0. The Mounties were
missing their two top running
backs. In 1966 the 35-point scor
ing spree in the second quarter
by Appalachian made headlines
almost a week after the Moun
taineer victory.
The single wing attack of Red
Parker and the Elon Christians
dented the App defense twice
last year but it wasn’t enough
to top the 34-point attack of
tne Mounties. Une poll has pick
ed Elon to come in second in
the Carolinas Conference. With
only two seniors on the squad
and an impressive group of re
turnees the Christians could
provide tough opposition for the
Messeremen when they open at
home Oct. 5.
A sign reading “6-56*’ hung
in the Mountaineers training
room quite a while after Coach
Hanley Painter took the chains
off his Lenoir Rhyne Bears and
unleased all their grisley fury
on the Apps. LR averaged 42.7
points a game in growling to
a 9-1 season and another Caro
linas Conference championship.
The Apps posted a seasonal
mark of 7-3 for the year.
The Bear offense is expected
to be as potent as last year
with only one new face in the
backfield. With Appalachian out
of the conference race, Lenoir
Rhyne should have no opposition
in pulling their 12th champion
ship in the last 14 years.
Richie Gaskell starts his
third season as pilot of the Car
son-Newman Eagles. His un
balanced I attack last year was
a good test of the App defense.
That defense held up and the
Apps captured an 18-14 home
coming win. Gaskill, as New
berry’s Herron, is afomer Fur
man aide and was an All-Ameri
can end at George Washington
before playing professional
football. The Eagles should be
no push over.
Catawba will provide the
homecoming foe Oct. 19 on the
Conrad turf and the difference
here may be in the line. The
Indian coach has praised his
Quarterback Tommy Dotson is shown in pre-season practice
drills with the Watauga High Pioneers. The drill is called
the-'‘gauntlet” and is to help backs hang on to the ball in
heavy traffic. Dotson hurled two important strikes to end
Dave Bolick last week in the WHS win over Newton. One play
covered 60 yards to the Newton two yard line. He threw a
seven yard aerial to Bolick for a third TD in the 26-0 victory.

kian. Last year Catawba fell
victim to the App onslaught 19
7. The Mounties still remember
the 18-17 last minute loss to
Catawba in the 1966 homecoming
tilt.
The Wofford College Ter
riers invade Boone for ASU’s
last night game. The Terriers
under Jim Breakfielf had a
meager record last year but
topped the Apps 21-19 in Spar
tanburg. Senior halfback Ted
Phelps will pace the Wofford
attack. Breakfield, in his sec
ond year at the helm, took over
from Connelly Snidow under
whom he had served as an as
stant.
j-ast year s crushing victory
over Presbyterian had to please
the App followers but it brought
a strong touch of irony to the
1967 grid campaign. Lenior
Rhyne lost only one game in
1967 and that at the hands of
Cally Gault’s Blue Hose 29-7.
The Bears mangled the Apps
56-6 and the Mounties turned
around and humiliated PC 57
18.
Bill Kirtland will start a quar
terback for the Blue Hose for the
fourth season. Behind him will
be two-way performer Dan Eck
stien who turns in 9.8 time in
the 100.
A passing contest erupted last
year when Appalachian took on
the Wasps of Emory and Henry.
With Carl Messer’s philosophy
of the foward pass and Pat
Murphy’s slinging ability, this
year’s match should again be
up in the air.
After two years in Greens
boro the ASU-Guilford game
comes to Boone. The Moun
taineers would like to make it
two in a row over the Quakers.
Last year they dealt Guilford
a 21-19 loss in the season finale.
Gil Lindsey and John Griffin
are expected to lead the strong
Quaker defense. Guilford will
be under new coach Bob Lord
this season.
The Apps have the best team
in several years and would have
been a strong contender for the
conference crown had they re
mained in the Carolinas loop.
The Mountie passing game pre
sents a formidable attack for
any defense. If ends Mike Whit
ley, Bob Agle and Drew Wood
stay healthy along with backs
Dwight Kerr, Jack Roten and Don
Ferrell, Murphy should have
little trouble guiding the Apps
in the 1968 grid battles.

With a fully automatic transmission
If you bet a friend we never would,
we almost didn’t.
10 years ago the decision was mode.
To design a fully automatic transmission.
The kind you put in drive and forget.
Our aim was to make things easy, but
for us changes aren't easy to make.
Especially in this case. There were
certain things we just didn't want to lose.
like horsepower, and our reputation
for being economical.
What we've ended up with is a 3-speed
automatic transmission that's pure Volks-,
wagen — designed from scrdtch to get
the most out of the VW with the least
expenditure of effort.
It has the fewest moving parts. .
It's the lightest per horsepower out
put. And it's incredibly sensitive. (A
model airplane engine is powerful
enough to turn it.)
So come see how far Volkswagen has
The Squareback and Fastback. Both
have disk brakes, an electronically con
trolled fuel injection system, and now, a
fully automatic transmission.
If you’re interested, it’s available as
an option on our '69 models.
If you're not interested, we sure went
to a lot of trouble for nothing.

App Freshmen Bow
To L-M Bobcats
Appalachian State’s freshman
football team—the first in the
school’s history—played its op
ening game Saturday.
But the Lees McRae Junior
College Bobcats rolled to an
easy 56-20 victory, causing ASU
frosh coach Bill McDevitte to
remark that ’’we certainly
weren’t prepared defensively.”
The factor which played an
important role in the sound
defeat was that several of the
most promising ASU freshmen
did not play since they were
on the varsity squad which tra
veled to Davidson for a prac
tice scrimmage.
I was satisfied with our
offense,” McDevitte noted. “We
moved the ball real well
we just couldn’t stop Lees Mel
Rae’s passes when they had
possession.”
He singled out center Roy
Floyd, fullback Tommy Renfro
and tailbackClaytonDeskinsfor
special praise inthefroshopen
er* “These boys did fine jobs,"
he stated.
Deskins, a speedster from
Arlington, Va„ gained 109 yard*
snd scored once on a four
yard run. “Another block here
or there and he would have had
a couple of long scoring runs,"
his coach said. Other ASUTDs
came on a 10-yard run by Ren
fro and a 25-yard pass from
Mo Tally to Vincent Greene.
The ASUfreshmen club’s next
game will be the afternoon of
Sept. 27 at Johnson City, Term
against the EastTennessee State
yearlings.
