"We didn't panic. We just got very angry with ourselves. "We were disgusted with our play, disgusted with ourselves. We weren't pointing fingers at any particular group or particular people," Hines added. "We took those feelings and turned them around."

Sports Editor CULLOWHEE The pattern continued for Appalachian State here Saturday.

The Mountaineers dominated arch-rival Western Carolina for better than three quarters, rolling to. a 31- victory De-fore an overflow crowd of 13,118, the fifth-largest in Whitmire Stadium history. It was Appalachian's fifth consecutive victory against Western in the battle for the Old Mountain Jug, and the Cats ended the season with a five-game losing streak for the third consecutive year. ASU tailback Ritchie Melchor scored three touchdowns and the Mountaineer defense held the Catamounts to 74 yards rushing. All of Western's points came In the fourth quarter after the Apps Clemson i Pounds USC, 45-0 The Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C.

Allen, who had missed two games and played sparingly In two others since injuring his knee Oct 7 against Virginia, scored on 12-yard and 1-yard runs. But Allen re-injured his left knee with 4:04 left in the half, was wheeled to the locker room and did not play again. The Tigers scored on their first' four possessions of the opening half to grab a 24-0 lead at the half.

Clem-: son amassed 302 yards total offense' to just 69 for the Gamecocks, who did not get inside the Clemson 30-yard; line in the game.

Clemson drove 79 yards In 13 plays on its first possession, which was capped when Allen burst up the middle for the TD with 8:49 left. South Carolina had problems from its first play, which saw Jerome Henderson intercept Dickie DeMasi's pass and return it 16 yards to the Clemson 46. Allen, lined up at fullback Instead of his normal tailback slot, burst up the middle for a 23-yard gain on the second play of the drive.

The junior then capped the eight-play march with his short plunge with 4:53 left. After Chris Gardocki hit a 28-yard field goal with 9:15 left, Clemson made it 24-0 when Chris Morocco hooked up with Rodney Fletcher on a. 12-yard TD pass with 2:08 to go.

All three scores came in the final 5:03.

See APPALACHIAN, Page 4B Staff Photo Sr DAN MAXHIMtft Doug Mead Strahm, Western On Right Track CULLOWHEE Year one of the Dale Strahm Era is complete.

Western Carolina's initial season under its first-year coach ended here Saturday with a 31-20 loss to arch-rival Appalachian State. It was a predictable ending, with the Cats falling to a bigger, stronger and more talented opponent. For a while here Saturday, it seemed as if ASU's victory against WCU would approach record-setting proportions. The Apps had a 31-0 lead heading into the fourth quarter, and all indications pointed toward that margin increasing even more in the final IS minutes. Then Western quarterback Todd Cottrell and tight end Jon Reed took over, accounting for three touchdowns in a span of less than five minutes.

Reed caught touchdown passes of 43, 87 and 21 yards as the Cats made the final margin a respectable one. It was the 32nd consecutive game in which Reed has caught at least one pass. However, the junior tight end from Greensboro would have traded all of his impressive numbers for a victory. "It really doesn't make the loss feel any better," he said. "It's still a loss.

But I guess it will be something (positive) to look back on some day." Reed sees nothing but good things ahead for the Cats under Strahm, the former Georgia assistant coach. "I don't see us going anywhere but up," he said. "We'll be there in the future." Cottrell said he was pleased the Cats were able to stage a mini-comeback of sorts. "We never gave up and that means a lot," he said. "I don't know what happened early.

I didn't show up for the first three quarters." WCU's senior quarterback said the Cats' early turnover (a Mark Mayo interception) that turned into a 10-yard touchdown run by tailback Richie Melchor put the Cats in a deep early hole. "That was the worst thing that possibly could have happened to us," he said. "It took a while for us to recover." Although the record (3-7-1) wasn't what Strahm would have liked, he feels the Cats are headed in the right direction. "I think we've established a cornerstone for the Western Carolina football program for years to come as far as work ethic goes," he said. "Now we need to have a good recruiting year and get ready for 1990.

The good thing about this season is that we played a lot of young people and they got a lot of experience." One of WCU's major weaknesses this season was the lack of an impact player on offense. The Cats too often found themselves in catchup situations and didn't have the talent to come from behind. That shouldn't be the case in 1990 and 1991. Georgia transfer Derrick Harris is expected to move in and start at quarterback after sitting out this season. Harris will give the Cats a new dimension, a signal-caller with outstanding quickness to accompany a strong arm.

However, don't expect Strahm to get things turned around overnight. The Cats have suffered through three consecutive losing seasons and they compete in the nation's toughest I-AA conference. Nonetheless, Western took several steps In the light direction, including a 26-20 victory against Tennessee-Chattanooga and a 22-22 tie with The Citadel, which was ranked No. 7 in the nation at the time. All in all, it was about as good as Strahm and the Cats could have hoped tor.

We went to it (the option) and it worked, so we stayed with it." The Cavaliers stayed with it all the way to a probable berth in the Citrus Bowl on New Year's Day against either Illinois or Michigan. "We're just happy to be going," said Virginia defensive end Ray Savage. "We don't care who we play. It's just business.

It's just another chance to get on national television and show people we can play." Virginia showed that In its regular-season finale, unleashing a quick-strike offense that scored three touchdowns In the final 10:05 of the first half to pull the Cavaliers into a tie with Duke at 6-1 In the ACC. The Blue Devils defeated North Carolina 41-0 earlier Saturday. Virginia Improved its overall record to 10-2, the Cavaliers' first 10-vlctory season in 100 years of intercollegiate football. "They had higher aspirations than I did," Virginia Coach George Welsh said of his players. "I wasn't thinking about 10 wins or an ACC title.

We had great leadership. A solid group of kids. Whatever they had to do they went out and did." Maryland fell to 3-7-1 overall and 2-5 in the ACC. The Terps' overall record was their worst since a 2-9 season in 1971. "Well, there's not much to say," Maryland Coach Joe Krivak said.

He had a big game and 16th-ranked Virginia earned a share of Its first Atlantic Coast Conference championship. It was Maryland's fault. Moore threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more Saturday night, leading Virginia to a 48-21 victory over Maryland and giving the Cavaliers a share of their first ACC championship since joining the conference in 1954.

"I kept the football a lot because of what the defense did," said Moore, who ran for a career-high 121 yards on 18 carries and completed nine of 19 passes for 161 yards. hCHB lalIfk 1 i -1 1 1 Redskins9 Manley Receives Lifetime Suspension From NFL For Drug Use Saturday's Games ACC The Associated Press WASHINGTON Dexter Manley of the Washington Redskins was banished from the NFL on Saturday, his Duk41 UNCO Va.
