WCTC Catamounts Held To A
7-7 Tie By Emory And Henry
A fighting squad of Emory and
Henry Wasps held the heavily fav
ored Catamounts of Western Caro
lina to a 7-7 tie on Cullowhee's
Hunter Field Friday night. The
game closed out the Cats' 1947
season with a 3-5-1 record.
The Wasps drew first blood in
the first quarter. With first and ten
on their own 33 Emory and Henry
took to the air. Halfback James I
faded back and tossed a ten-yard
pass to Painter in the Cullowhee
secondary and the speedy little
back left the Catamounts behind
as he footed the remaining 57
yards to the end zone. The extra
point was good for a 7-0 lead.
However the Catamounts were
not to be stopped in the third pe
riod. A 30 yard pass, Jim Bryson to
Ovie Heavener, put the pigskin on
the Wasps' 43. Joe Hunt picked up
23 yards on two spinner plays and \
set-up the ball on the 20 from}
where Bryson skirted right end and
entered the endzone standing up.
Frank Hardin converted for the
Cats to tie everything up at 7-all j
and that's the way it ended.'
For the Catamounts the game
closed the college football days
for three men, Fullback McKinley
Hensley and ends Howard Barn
well and Bill Estes. All three were
in the starting lineups Friday night.
