Apps To Meet Bears In Wake Of Six Victories Appalachian state, averaging 51 points a game after three contests and victorious in its last six battles, travels to Hick ory Saturday night to battle powerful Lenoir Rhyne, which will carry a 10-game winning streak and a 1968 scoring aver age of 33 points-a-game into the 8 pjn. engagement. Both the Mountaineers and the Bears offer potent, well Dcuancea onensive machines which have produced a rash of long-distance scoring ma neuvers throughout the season. Last weekend, ASU and Len oir Rhyne were outpointed by only one team in all games across the nation. Houston club bed Cincinnati 71-33, Appa lachian routed Elon 70-26, and the Bears whipped Newberry 69 27. Kansas was fourth with 68 points. Pioneers Stop Marion 13-7 The Watauga High Pioneers took over undisputed possession cf the top spot in the North western AAA Conference by stopping the Marion High grid- . men 13-7 and spoiling a Marion bid for an undefeated season. Marion drew first blood Fri day after they recovered a Pio neer fumble on the Watauga seven-yard line. Watauga came back with a sustained drive starting on their own 40. The Pioneers marched 60 yards and quarterback Tom Dotson ran it in for the score. Dotson scored again on a 13 yard haul after the WHS eleven had taken over on the Ripper 21 yard line. Danny Trivette drew the de fensive laurels by intercepting two Marion passes. Dotson was outstanding offensively. Hard charging halfback Sonny Cook was injuried in the game and may not see action this week. (Continued on page nine) Soccer Team Drops Three 1 he Appalachian soccer team was disappointed in its first three matches of the season as it fell victim to all three op ponents. Last Tuesday the Apps were shut out 1-0 by Pfeiffer. On Friday at Duke, the team was overwhelmed by the Blue Devils in an 8 to 1 loss. Dave Lawrence scored the only goal for the Mountaineers. North Carolina State entered Appalachian grounds Saturday and handed the Apps their third straight loss. Dave Lawrence kicked two goals but ASU lost, 3 to 2. Appalachian will meet Jack sonville here Friday. Next Tuesday, the Mountaineers will host Roanoke College. Speaking Of Golf by job maples The end of the 1968 Club Championship is now in sight *jj» quit® a few final and semi final matches were played dur ing the past week. The big match of the week was between medal ist Thad Vincent and Jack Groce for a berth in the finals. After battling on even terms for nine holes, both men tried to play “give away” on the tenth with Jack finally winning with a bogey. This was followed on elevan by both players missing par-putts of less than two feet. Vincent got even for the last time with a birdie on twelve after which Groce went ahead to stay and eventually win by 3 and 1. An interesting side light to the match was an eagle two by J. H. Cottrell who was playing along with the boys. His tee shot reached the twelfth green and he made the putt for the eagle. In the first flight, former club champion Tom Adar-s de feated Johnny Winkler 2 > to make the finals against i>ale Adams Jr. who turned back Johnny Taylor 5 and 4. In the second flight, Steve Masten played sub-par golf to turn back the challenge of Frank Au ten by 7 and 6. Steve shot 68. Norman Moody defeated Carl Meeks in a close two-up vic tory for the third flight hon ors and Don Dotson defeated Charles Taylor 2 and 1 in the fourth flight. Dan Duke and O. K. Richardson had a good battle in the fifth flight finals with Dan finally winning by 2 and 1. “Limberback* Mac Stroupe was a little more than Alfred Adams could handle as he won in the eighth flight 3 and 2. In the ladies’ division, Ellen Counts and Johnie Crockett met in the finals for the champion ship. Ellen, a former champion, got an early lead in the match and was two-up after four boles. This proved to be enough to win as she was able to hold off Mrs. Crockett’s best ef forts to become the 1968 cham pion by a 3 and 1 margin. In the first flight Cleone Hodges turned back Jean Cottrell 2 and 1 in another close one. •THf Q'JKK WAV • IHf "SlOW WAT" • "JtfftACE SNACKS WAV' • THl”SATKTY WAY" BOONE DRUG COMPANY and KING STREET PHARMACY The two arch rivals have test ed only one common foe thus for. Appalachian bombed New berry 55-14—a 41-point spread compared to Lenoir Rhyne’s 42-point win over the Indians. The Mounties gained 648 of fensive yards at Newberry while the Bears amassed 734. ASU Coach Carl Messere.said be expects Saturday’s encoun ter to be “a whale of a ball game. We’ll be ready.** A year ago, Lenoir Rhyne rolled to an easy 56-6 triumph and concentrated on stopping the passes of ASU’s Pat Mur phy, who completed only nine of 33. The Hickory club then didn't have to watch the Moun ties' outstanding tailback, Jackie Roten, who missed the game due to injury. Through three games this season, Ro ten has scored seven touch downs while gaining 491 yards in 49 rushed—a 10.0 average per carry. Mess ere said that Lenoir Rhyne has excellent personnel in Fullback Carl Bartles, tail back Mike McRee, wingback ioDy Morgan, ena nrian JacK, and blocking backs George Miles and Jack Huss. “It appears that they have their timing down pat now/’ the Appalachian coach said in reference to LR’s 69 points against Newberry after scorir*? only 14 and 17 in the first two games. Messere stated that his play ers came out of the Elon game in fine physical shape and that he expects every one to be healthy for Saturday. Defensive Fred Ivey, who played very little against Elon due to in jury, should be fully recovered this week. Messere said he was pleased that the Mountaineers were able to hold £100*8 running game to an 82-yard production in 34 attempts. “We also got our pass defense straightened out in toe second half,” he added. Elon didn’t make a first down in the final 25 minutes of last Saturday’s game after makir^ 15 during the first 35 minutes. “Those two early touchdowns really hurt Elon, and set the pace for the rest of the game,” Messere noted. The Appa had the ball 20 different times against the Christians, scoriig 10 times, punting seven tiim 3, losing pos session once by pass intercep tion and one by a fumble. The final possession saw the game end with ASU driving at Elon’s 10. Your next car is unbeatable. And it’s here today.

The visiting Christians, who had posted convincing triumphs against Concord and Guilford, fumbled the opening kickoff at their own 12-yard-line. The Mountaineers recovered and two plays later, tailback Jackie Ro ten scored from five yards out. The ensuing kickoff also was fumbled, and on the next play ASU’s Pat Murphy connected with end bobby Agle for a 25 yard scoring pass. Before the initial quarter was eight minutes old, the Mo unties scored again for a 21-0 lead . . . marching 82-yards in six plays. Fullback Dwight Kerr, playing his first game of the season after missing the first two because of injury, went 33 yards up the middle on a draw play for the TD. Elon came back with a 65 yard, 10-yard drive which was climaxed when Dover Sharpe reached pay dirt from seven yards out. Appalachian took the kickoff and rambled 76 yards in nine plays, scoring again early in the second period on Murphy’s 11-yard aerial strike to Agle. Elon, largely on the passim arm of Burgin Beale, then marched 52 yards in eight plays —the final being a 10-yard strike from Beale to Richard McGeorge. The Christians intercepted a pass moments later to gain possession on the ASU 43. Five plays later, Beale passed five yards to Ron O’Brien for a TD and Elon trailed by 28-18. Five minutes prior to half time, Murphy passed 14 yards to Kerr to end a four-play, 47-yard march. And just 50 seconds before intermission, Roten climaxed a 59-yard drive with a one-yard dive to give the Mountaineers a 42-18 ad vantage. Four minutes into the second half, Beale hurled a 50-yard scoring bomb to Jim Waller for the final Elon TD of the evening. Appalachian stormed back for its seventh score as Murphy dashed three yards following a 43-yard run by Roten. Just moments later, Kerr bulled 18 yards for a 56-26 lead after the Apps had thrown Elon for a three-yard loss on a fourth-and-one play at the Christian 40. Five minutes into the fourth period, linebacker Dave Neeld App Runners Top Deacs Last Saturday, Appalachian’s cross country team met Wake Forest at Winston-Salem and came home victoriously as it defeated the Deacons 27 to 28.

And with just over one minute left in the contest, fresh man tailback Clayton Deskins darted 41 yards for the final TD. Drew Wood kicked all 10 PATs from placement for Ap palachian. The Mountaineers totaled 566 yards offensively, exactly matching the average charted in the first two games (A 55 14 rout of Newberry and a 28 14 win over Western Carolina). Roten, who has scored 7 touchdowns in 3 games, rushed 15 times for 123 yards to hike his season total to 491 yards in 49 carries—a 10.0 average. This figure actually is second best on the team, since Deskins has averaged 10.2 per run with 92 yards In nine trips. Kerr ran 15 times for 104 yards as both he and Roten outgained all don rushers who combined for 82. Murphy connected on 12 of .22 passes for 21 yards, in creasing his season totals to 41 completions in 69 attempts for 646 yards and seven TDs. Agle snared six of the tosses to give him 21 (for 303 yards) in 1968. He has now caught 100 aerials during his ASU career. The punting of Jack Under wood wowed the crowd time and-again. He boomed kicks 50, 44, 50, 68 and 61 yards in suc cession. The Apps, who have now scored 153 points for a 51.0 per-game average, have already outscored the 1966 team which charted only 145 points In 10 games.
