Hay esvi 11 e Invades Friday
The Cherokee High School
Braves wen on the warpath,
last week alter suffering a
one-point defeat in their first
game of the season with
Hayesvilie. They came to
Bryson City with helmets and
shoulder pads instead of war
dubs and handed the Swain
High Marron Devils their
second defeat in as many
games this season.
The Braves, under the
leadership of Coach Robert
White, Swain High graduate
and former teacher here,
surprised the Devils with an
early first quarter touchdown
and poured on the coal with
fullback, Rick Long, busting
the left-side of the Swain line
play after play, grounding out
yard after yard.
The Devils received the ball

on the initial kick-off and
moved with determination
moving 11 yards in three plays
for first down yardage on the
33-yard line; however, on the
first play of the new series of
downs a lateral ball was
fumbled and Cherokee
recovered, giving them
possession on the Swain High
22-yard line.
The Braves were slow
getting started and moved the
ball only five yards in three
downs, before Larry Beck
intercepted a Lossiah to
Littlejohn pass and the Devils
had possession again, but deep
in their own territory on the
three-yard line.
Three downs netted the
Devils two yards and they were
forced to punt from their five.
John Grant, wingback for the
Braves, returned the punt 24
yards to the Devil 21-yard line
and once more the Braves were
in scoring position. A five-yard
penalty set the Braves back and
it looked as though the Devils
had stopped them cold when
three downs netted only three
yards and moved the ball to
the Devils 23. But with fourth
down and 12 to go, Hank
Littlejohn broke over left
tackle and galloped 18 yards
for a first down on the Swain
six. From the six it was
relatively easy for fullback,
Rick Long, to but the left
tackle position for six yards
and the score. Wiggins
Blackfox scored the two-point
conversion and the Braves were
out fron 8-0.
Bill Adams received the
Cherokee kick-off and the
Devils put together a strong
drive that moved from the
home 26 to the Cherokee 39 in
9 plays before the Devils ran
out of steam and had to turn
the ball over to Cherokee on
the Cherokee 40-yard line.
The Braves put together a
strong drive to move the ball as
the second quarter began. But
“The Bull”, Bill Adams, put a
screeching halt to any progress
the Braves might be making
when he dropped the
quarterback, Lossiah, for a
12-yard loss and firoved the
Braves to punt.
The Devils took possession
CHEVY'S NEW
LITTLE CAR IS OPEN
FORBUSMESS.
We coll it Vega.
We also call it "the little car that
does everything well."
Because it does.
..•» • ^ ■*-—
cwryrnmg r cvvryivinj*
Vega moves well, stops well,
steers well, rides well, handles well,
responds well, passes well, travels
well, parks we1!, wears well, and is
priced well under what you'd expect
to pay for such a talented little car.
In our highway tests, Vega has
been getting gas mileage in the
neighborhood of the little imports,
which isn't a bad neighborhood.
Yet unlike your average little car,
ours steps right out when you step on
the gas.
The engine is a specially designed
overhead cam four with a lightweight
aluminum alloy block. It turns slowly
and quietly at turnpike speeds, with
power to spare.
Disc brakes are standard in the
front. So are bucket seats, except on
the truck.
How we doing so far?
Numbers speak louder than words.
The wheelbase is 97 inches.
Total length is just under 170
inches, or nearly four feet shorter than
a full-size Chevrolet.
Height of the coupe is just 50
inches, nine inches lower than the
leading import.
Width: a nice stable 5 Vi feet.
Weight: 2,190 lbs. for the sedan.
Engine displacement: 140 cubic
inches.
Fuel economy: about 25 inpg, with
the standard engine and transmission,
in our highway tests.
Horsepower: 90. You can order
110. (80 and 93 hp, SAE Net.)
Seating capacity: 4 adults.
What it all adds up to is a lot of
little car.
Three cars and a truck.
Vega turned out so well that we
couldn't turn out just one.
So we're turning out four: the
sporty little hatchback coupe shown
open and closed in the foreground
below; the sedan, on the right; the
Kammback wagon, on the left; and the
lithe panel truck, in the rear.
Oh, and a special GT version of
the coupe and wagon which we'll
show you later on.
September lOth is Opening Day.
All 6,300 Chevrolet dealers are
handling Vega, so you shouldn't have
to go very far to see and drive one.
Chevy's new little car is open for
business. Look into it.

on their own 27 and moved the
ball eight yards in three plays
before being forced to
relinguish possession.
The Braves put together one
first down and moved to their
41-yard line before Barry
Hipps made the second Swain
interception of the night and
once again gave the Devils
possession deep in their own
territory on the 15.
With second down and 15
yards to go from the Swain 10,
Bill Adams busted loose and
carried the ball 45 yards to the
Cherpkee 45 for a first down;
however, Swain lost possession
again on a backfield fumble, nd
the Braves ran the clock out,
moving to the Swain 18-yard
line before time ran out.

Swain had to kick the ball
to the Braves as the second half
began andthe Braves wasted no
time in moving the ball 55
yards in six {days on two first
downs to score with only two
minutes and 21 seconds
marked off the scoreboard
clock in the third quarter.
Eddie Crowe made the final 17
yards in one carry for the score
and Wiggins Blackfox added
the two extra points to give the
Braves a 16-0 lead.
The Devils, somewhat
stunned by the quick score on
Cherokee’s part, played some
of the finest high school
football we have seen on the
next series of plays moving the
ball 95 yards in six plays after
a 16-yard return by Bill Adams
and got on the scoreboard with
a freak fumble and zone
recovery. The score came after
Larry Beck broke loose for 43
yards, the second longest gain
of the night, and moved the
ball within scoring distance.
The score came when Nat
Watson carried the ball three
yards from the Cherokee five,
fumbled, and CHarlie Williams
recovered in the end zone for
the score. Beck added the
two-point conversion and the
score was Cherokee, 16; Swain,
8.
The remainder of the
quarter was all Cherokee with
Swain running only two plays
from scrimmage.
The fourth quarter was
defensive football with the
longest gain being 11 yards.
Swain moved to the Cherokee
39-yard line one time and the
Braves moved to the Devils 28
and were still driving as time
ran out.
Bond Buyers
To Get
Higher Interest
Residents of North Carolina
and American citizens
everywhere who own or are
buying United Sates Savings
Bonds are in line for higher
interest on their Bonds. The
increase in the form of a 1/2
percent bonus, raises the
effective interest rate on new
Savings Bonds from 5 percent
to 5Vi percent, when held to
maturity.
Bland W. Worley, North
Carolina Chairman for U.S.
Savings Bonds, noted that
“The bonus applies not only to
new issues sold on or after
June 1,1970, but also to older
Bonds as well, so there is no
advantage in redeeming
outstanding Bonds to buy new
ones.
“I think that U.S. Savings
Bonds are one of the greatest
self-help opportunities
available to us in North
Carolina. Revenue from
Savings Bonds helps the
Federal Government finance
highways, recreational areas
and protection of our
environment.”, Mr. Worley
said. “We can see the benefits
all about us”, he added.
“And Bonds traditionally
are treasured family assets
because they help pay for
children’s educations, new
homes and cars, vacations and
weddings. Bonds provide
timely assistance in unexpected
family crises.”
He pointed out that the 10
million Americans who
purchase Bonds regularly enjoy
other direct benefits.
“The interest paid on U.S.
Savings Bonds is not subject to
State or local income and
personal property taxes. This
new rate increase, coupled with
their tax advantages, makes
Savings Bonds especially
useful” Mr. Worley said.
He urged North Carolina
residents to contact their
employers or their banks to
take advantage of the new
Savings Bonds bonus by
increasing their Payroll Savings
or Bond-A-Month
participation.

WCU To Open Season Against
Carson-Newman Sept. 19
After a week of pre-season
work, Western Carolina head
coach Bob Waters shows very
little emotion when talking
about "his 1970 Catamounts.
“This team is still running on
regular fuel. It hasn’t tanked
up with high octane yet,”
Waters explained. “Nothing has
happened to make me feel
elated. However, I’m not
pessimistic.”
The Catamounts will open
their season September 19 with
Carson-Newman College in
Jefferson City, Tenn.
The puzzle at quarterback
has been solved somewhatwith
the return to practice of
Conrad Cardano. The
strong-armed junior missed the
first week of practice because
of tonsilitis. He made his first
appearance in a Saturday
scrimmage and continues to
look increasing sharpe with his
passes. Hal Mote, a sophomore
transfer, has been the No. 1
signal caller.
Another pleasing sight for
Coach Waters was tailback Otis
McIntosh in pads Monday for
the first time. The Asheville
junior was the Cats top rusher
and scorer last season but was
held out of contact work last
week, as will probably the case
this week, as he fully recovers

from knee surgery.
The casulty list now shows
three Catamounts sidelined -
defensive back Dan Altenburg
(broken leg), tailback
Jerry Beatty (broken’ wrist),
and frosh defensive end Rod
Herlong (seperated shoulder).
“Right now," says Coach
Waters, “I feel the strongest
point we have over last year is
depth". The young coach
backs No. 2 offensive line, led
by guard Pete Morrow, tackle
Glenn Hill and center Sidney
Turbyfill. Defensive backfield
coach Don Denning singled out
freshman Maynard
Pierce,Mark Callis, Paul
Forehand and sophomore
Scott Orr as “looking good.”
The offensive running back
positions are probably the
most improved with transfer
tailback Eddie Sveum and
freshman fullbacks David
Hakett and Sammy Robertson
impressive in backup roles.
Another frosh, Jerry Gaines,
will see a lot of action at
Catback.
The Catamounts passing
attack could be as imposing
this fall as in ‘69 when WCU
went through the air for a
record 2,779 yards and 17
touchdowns. There are three
reasons - Steve Spradling (46
receptions) Paul Smith (36)
and John Davies (24). All three
have been impressive in the
early scrimmages and could
possibly surpass last years stats
when they combined for over
2,200 yards.
“It is still a little early to
brag or complain about this
team, says Coach Waters in a
brief summation.
The Catamounts will
confine twice daily practice,
sessions until the middle of
next week.
