Cats Overwhelm E.C.T.C. Pirates, 39-0
PAUL MONROE SCORES THREE TIMES
TO LEAD MATES TO FOURTH VICTORY
Reserves Play
Most Of Game
GREENVILLE - The Western
Carolina Ca'amounts unleashed a
powerful single-wing attack here
tonight and snowed the Eastern
Carolina Pirates under a 39-0
? landslide. Fullback Paul Monroe
paved the way for the visitors by
crossing the double line three
times, once in each of the last
three quarters.
In fact, the Catamounts' full
backs accounted for all their
touchdowns. Joe Hunt, the start
ing fullback, marked two, and
Paul Rogers, reserve fullback,
chalked up the other.
The game was stopped a minute
before time ran out when A1
j Caperila, Catamount tailback, suf
? lered a dislocated knee while
punting out from the Cats' one
yard line. By gentlemen's agree
ment between Coaches James
Johnson of the Pirates and Tom
Young of ihe Catrmounfts the
game was called because doctors
sa.d Caperila shouldn't be moved
from the field. Caperila will be
out of action for the remainder
ol the season.
The Catamounts opened the game
with a bang. After kicking off
to ECTC the Cats forced the Pir
ates to kick, then the Cats had tc
kick and Eastern Carolina's Mae
nnle tossed a pass to Weathering
ton but Joe Hunt intercepted on
the Cats 40 and raced the 60 yards
to score. Frank Hard.n booted the
extra point.
Following the . kickoff after
touchdown the Pirates had to kick.
The ball went out on the Western
Carolina 40 and the Cats drove it
to the one yard line irom where
Hunt crashed through center for
second score. Hardin failed
to kick the point after.
Belore the first quarter ended
the Catamounts had another score
? n the same manner as their sec
I ond. Following an 'ECTC kick out
of bounds on W. C.'s 45, the Cats,
drove down to the one. again and '
this time, Paul Roger* scored thru
center. Hardin converted for a
20-0 lead which ended thj quarter.
Late in the second quarter after
an exchange of kicks in midfield,
i^ Duke intercepted Darby's
pass on Western Carol.na's 40 and
returned .t 54 yards to the 6. Duke

Paul Monroe, the driving full
back of the Western Carolina Cat
amounts, is King for the Week on
the Cullowhee campus. He is the
fellow who chalked up three
touchdowns against the Eastern
Carolina Pirates last Friday night.
He is the first in years, possibly
in history, to turn the trick for
the purple and gold.
There's a little human interest i
behind the scenes. Paul received
a* broken cartilage in the knee
last season which kept him side
lined for the greater part of the
year. But he came back, over
came the injury and proved to
all that he is the same Paul Mon
roe who of 1946 ran wild from the
fullback slot in Coach Tom Young's
powerful machine.
Paul couldn't have chosen a
better game to strut his stuff than
the ECTC contest. Be.ng a native
of Tabor City, Paul had the pleas
ure of showing a dozen or more
? students at ECTC who hail from
Tabor City also that mountains
could produce gridiron teams as
well as the flatlands. The Tabor
Cityites of ECTC had boasted of
i.ovv the Pirates would trample the
Catamounts, and Paul, sometimes
beinfe quick on the trigger, had re
j ponded that the Cats would lick
Lewis, Price, Booth, Michaels,
| Yarborough, Tanner, Andrews.
The Cat-Call
the Pirates if he had to do it him
self. Well, he made a pretty good
show. And his fellow fullbacks,
Joe Hunt and Paul Rogers helped
him all they could by accounting
for the other three Catamount
TD's.
Paul is a senior at Western Car
olina. He is married and excels
in h.s studies as well as in foot
ball. At Tabor City high before'
the war, Paul ran for three years
in the backfield. But came the
war, and Uncle Sam called him
into the Navy for three years, most
of which he spent in the South
Pacific.
Following his discharge, he came
to West.rn Carolina in 1946 and
promptly made a name for himself
on the gridiron. Early in the 1947
s i son he broke the cartilage in his
knee and w.:s out for the remainder
of the season. This year in pre
>eas?on drills Paul worked hard
to regain his old form.
A lot of people had forgotten
bout him, but suddenly they re
membered while watching the
Tusculum game this year at Cul
lowhee. Paul's name was called
in the starting lineup for the first
time in over a year. On the field
he ran like a madman. He inter
cepted a pass on W. C.'s 40 and
r turned it 19 yards to Tusculum's
41 and a play later plunged over
from the 6 inch line after a Rob
erts to Tate, pass had the ball six
.riches lrom pay dirt.o Then folks
began to remember. Yes, this is
the Monroe who looked so good
two years ago. ,-He's making a
comeback. He's regained his old
form, but most of all, he's regained
his confidence m his legs.
And at Eastern Carolina he
proved it. Three times he went
through the middle of the line to
score, once on a 76-yard jaunt,
once for 11 yards and once for two
yards. s
Sure, Paul Monroe has come
back, and we'll be seeing a lot of
him for the remainder of the 1948
|season.
