Despite their 37-6 win over Tus
culum, the Catamounts are still
stinging from their one-point 14-13
loss to Appalachian two weeks a
go, and it's a good bet that they
will try to take part of that sting
out of their systems against the
Tennessee boys.

ium.
The game started out with Tus

ed a pass intended for halfback,
Bill Caton, but Hugh Constance, i
Catamount center, charged the !
ball, intercepted it on the 25 and, |
aided by the downfield blocking
of Buffalo Humphries and Ovie,
Heavener, ran 75 yards into the
j endzone standing up. Frank Har
! din's kick for extra point was no
good. |
| The Catamounts rolled to two
more markers in the second quar- 1
ter. The first was set up when
Humphries and Constance cov- |
2rtd a Tusculum fumble on Tus- ?
culum's 46. Harry Duke and Paul:
Monroe swept the ends and hit the j
line four times to drive the ball to'
the 21, from where a double re-1
verse ? Monroe to Duke to Dewey i
Whitaker?netted the touchdown ?
with Wnitaker scoring on the 211
yard jaunt. Hardin converted? his
only one out of six tries?for a|
13-0 lead.
Paul Monroe intercepted a Tus

where Cecil Roberts passed to Bob
Tate who was brought down on the
6-inch line. Monroe plunged thru'
enter for the score and a 19-0
lead which held until halftime. !
Two more Western Carolina
-narkers came four plays apart in
he third period with Roberts scor
ng from the five on the first and
''ee Wee Hamilton passing 25
vards to Ovie Heavener in the end
one for the other.
With reserves playing all the
last quarter, Jay Hodper, fresh
man from Robbinsville pulled off
a 63 yard run for a Catamount
touchdown that was calltd back
ccau?e Hooper stepped out of
ounds on W.C.'s 46. However,
with a 19 yard run by Paul Rog
ers and a 15 ya:d penalty against
"usculum to_help out, Hooper
eot bang.ng at the line until the
^at mounts had the ball on the
v2 from where Hooper went a

Tusculum did most of their dam
age pa.sing, completing 9 out of
'0 for 173 yards. Their only score
?rme on a 61-yard pass play from
iill Caton to end Harold Wycoff.
On the ground the Cats were
not to be stopped as they racked

Buffalo Humphries proved to be
the man in the Catamount line
who did most of the damage. He
had plenty of help from Hugh
Constance, Art Byrd, Clark Pen
nell, Dan Robinson and others.
Bill Caton carried most of the
burden of the Tusculum attack.

HUGH CONSTANCE
There's a story behind Hugh
Constance's touchdown run of 75
yards on his pass interception Sat
urday night. In his first year with
the Cats (1946) Hugh intercepted
an opponents' pass during one
game and returned it just a few
yards short of the goalline. He was
mad because he didn't run it on
across for a score despite the fact
that he was splattered by some six
or ejght players. Alter the game,
Constance remarked that if he
ever got his hands on another pass
he wouldn't stop thort oi pay dirt
"or iove or money.
Trie rjst of the 1946 season rolled
cy and the plucky pepperpot center
played heads up ball all the way?
waiting for a chanc. to cross the
rioubie line with the ball tucked
under his arm. But h s cnance did
n't come.
"On well," Hugh remarked.
Wu t till next year. I'm bound to
get hold of one then." Next ye..:
came ( 1947) and the Catamounts
went through ten rough ball games
?and Constance went through ten
rouph ball games, without inter
cepting a single pass.
At the md of the season. Con
stance r.membered his boast and
said ;.gain, "Wait till next year,
i know I'll get one then." And
sure enough, a.ter playing sixty
?n.nutes of the first two games
without an intei ception, Con
stance's chance came. In the first
quarter of the Tusculum game
Saturday night Tusculum s iuar
terback Dale Mowery fired a pass
from the Catamounts' 36 yard line
intended for halfback Bill Caton.
But the pass did not reach Caton.
Constance raced back, jumped high
into the air on the 25 and speared
Lhe pass. He landed running ?
and when he stopped the goalline
was behind him and most of the
players were 75 yards back up the
field scratching their heads. Con
stance had fulfilled his boast. He
had waited two y^ars to intercept
;hat pass, and when he caught it
le was determined to go.
He was aided by Ovie Heavencr
who knocked a Tusculum man out
of the play on the 40 and by big
Buffalo Humphries who blocked
two would-be tacklers out of the
way on Tusculum's 35.
The Catamount center is a pat
ient one. Two years of waiting.
But at the end of two years, he
had the pleasure of running the
ball again, and nothing could have
..eid him back.
