'ij 1 'Q--. , f, -2,497 st. W' The 1971 Matador football sea- son proved to be quite exciting for AWC fans. Starting the season off with a loss to San Diego Mesa College of 7-0 showed the Matadors to be over confident. The Matadors came bouncing back after their defeat to take on the U.S. Air Force Academy beat- ing them 30-10. ' Throughout the season AWC wg.. Q proved to be a somewhat different type of team. They played what could be called second-half ball. To exemplify this the statistics for each half shows that the Mat- adors outscored their opponents by a total of 86-85 for the season in the first half and then outscored them by 186-24 in the second half game. By the end of the season AWC held an 8-1 win-loss record. In a- chieving this record the Maradors defeated their two biggest rivals, Phoenix and Mesa Community College. Mesa Community waS the only team to beat AWC last year. In national rankings the AWC Matadors finished number thfC6 for the season,-one place ahead of the previous years' ranking. mb.q 6 P ifig-5125 in fu., 9 K. if , I-if vt' 1 'f of 'N ' ' Y , U ---v ,,r -3--.

D D LDWE EL 11 K 2 85364 NA Reflections on a successful program After a successful winning football season, the 1971 edition of Western's Matadors football players were honored at an awards dinner at the Stardust. The evening was filled with humerous stories of the past sea- son and kidding among the coaches, players and guests. Success, however, does not come by talking a line. A coach and his staff must deliver, they must deliver a product that will be saleable and accepted by the public. Since Ray Butcher has been head football coach here, all his teams have finished the season ranked in the top 10 by the National Junior College Athletic Association in Hutchinson, Kan. On the opposite page, Coach Butcher reflects on the success of his program. Butcher, who was named Coach of the Year in the Arizona Conference wrote his thoughts after the season. The Matador football squad showed their appreciation of Coach Ray Butcher by presenting him with a man's blonde toupee. Joining in the laughter are QLEFT TO RIGHTQ Dr. David Cothrun, Butcher, Dr. Ralph Moorehead, Jack Watson, Jim Carruthers and Sam Salerno. Butcher sported the arti- fical hair on his balding scalp during the banquet.
