Page 3 ountaineers Host Crest In Homecoming Friday Herald Sports BOONE — Appalachian’s powerful offense will face a supreme test Saturday when the Mountaineers tangle with Carsoh-Newman’s once-beaten Eagles at Jefferson City, Tchn. Appalachian, averaging 47 points per game while w in- ning its first five starts of the campaign, will be matching forces with a C-N defense which has surrendered only 15.4 points per outing. Coach Carl Messere feels that the Eagles will present the best overall defense of any team on the ASU schedule. Elon, a strong team offensively, was able to score only « Lce ih a 28-7 loss to Carson-Newmah last weekend. ) “Coach (Richie) Gaskill has an excellent team,’’ Mes- re states. “We will certainly have our hands full. Dale Rutherford, their quarterback throws exceptionally well and ranks among the leaders in the national statistics. And they have a fine runner in fullback Sam Morrison.” Carson-Newman, which has lost only a 35-27 decision to Emory & Henry, has won its four other games, including a 67-14 victory over Georgetown, Ky. The game, scheduled for 2:30 p.m., will be the Eagles’ Homecoming. Appalachian has won nine, lost two and tied three in t|ie series with Carson-Newman. Last fall, the Eagles led by 14-0 at halftime before the Mounties bounced back for an 18-14 triumph. Leading Appalachian’s offensive attack will be signal- caller Pat Murphy, who has hurled touchdown passes in each of the last 11 games. This season, he ranks among the nation’s leaders in passing percentage with .624 on 68 connections in 109 throws. He has passed for 1,064 yards and 12 TDs in five games. Tailback Jackie Roten, who has scored nine times, is averaging 9.0 yards per rush and 151.0 yards per game with 755 yards in 84 carries. Tackle jack Underwood also is high on national charts with a 43.8 punting average on 22 kicks. The Mountaineers have averaged 527.2 offensive yards per contest while oUt-pointlng their foes by 235-96, and scoring in 19 of 20 q^uarters thus far.
