Saints lose in double overtime Making ball-handling mistakes is a Very un Saintly thing to do. The miscues wiped out a gallant comeback effort in the second overtime and doomed Seward county to its second straight overtime defeat, Nov. 27. This time the loss came in two extra sessions and was dished out by the West Texas State freshman 85-83 in Rindom Hall, Liberal High School. A week earlier, the Saints had bowed in their opener 86-84 to Frank Phillips Junior College, Berger, Texas. Both games were similar in many ways. Early turnovers, 19 in the first half against Frank Phillips and 15 against the young Buffs, put the Saints into an eight-point halftime hole. Last night it was 32-40. A second half rally tied the game and sent it into overtime. The difference ended there however as Seward County show- ed flashes of greatness in the final 20 minutes against West Texas. The Saints applied the defen- sive pressure and outscored the WTS yearlings 16-2 in the open- ing five minutes of the second half. Forty minutes of this type of play is what Head Coach Vir- gil Akins is seeking. It would produce a strong conference con- tender. After West Texas tied the game at 50-50 with 13:34 remaining, the dog fight was on. Seward led by five points, 67-62 with 6:48 to play when Coleman Crawford ban-ged in a field goal. But the Saints were unable to put the young Buffaloes away. They came back to take the lead 72 71 with 58 seconds remaining in regulation time. WTS could have salted the game away with 13 seconds when Bobby Anderson made the first free throw to stretch the lead to two points, 73-71, but missed on the second. Curt White, who lead the Saints in scoring with 21 points, put in a follow shot with one second to go to tie the game at 73-73. Both- teams scored only three points in the first five minute session. West Texas put up two shots in the last 11 seconds with neither finding its mark and forc- ing a second overtime. The ball handling errors hit the Saints again. West Texas took advantage of four straight turn- overs, including two steals for easy layups by John Hayes, to mount an 83-78 lead. Still the win-hun-gry Saints werenit dead. Trailing by seven 85-78, with 25 seconds remaining, Jake Taylor put in a long one- hander. A steal was turned into a three-point play by White with eight seconds to play. When West Texas threw away the inbounds pass, SewCo had one last chance to tie. White's shot was off to the right and 6-7 Mark Wible re- bounded for the Buffs with one second to go.

Saints down St. Grego-ry's, 84-81 A late rally carried the Seward County Saints to their first vic- tory of the season Thursday, Nov. 30, 84-81 over the St. Gre- gory's Cavaliers CShawnee, Ok- lahoma in the opening game of the Amarillo Classic in the Bad- ger gym. The Saints, who lost their first two games in overtime, were down by seven points, 59-52, with 13:09 remaining in the game when they caught fire behind the scoring of sophomore Coleman Crawford and Foster Young. Crawford scored 14 of his 16 points in the last half. Young put in a three of timely buckets down the stretch. The Saints finally overcame the deficit with 10:50 left in the game when Stan Vaughn scored from underneath. Crawford fol- lowed with a jumper which put the Saints ahead 62-59. They nev- er trailed after that. Another basket by Crawford and a pair of field goals by Curt White moved SewCo out in front Team competes From November 29 to Decem- ber 3, 11 SCCJC aviation students attended the Regional Air Meet in Fairfield, Iowa, which was hosted by Parsons College.

Young scored three of the Saints next four baskets with Dale Doll also hitting from 22 feet out as Seward moved out in front 76-68 with 4:17 left in the game. The Saints had more than its share of trouble defensing 6-7 sophomore Peter Gildud who banged in 30 points the first half. A collapsing zone limited the import to 12 points the last half. Crawford and Donell Brundidge paced the winners with 16 points each. White had 14, Young 13 and Vaughn 11. SewCo Debaters at Winfielcl Debaters from Seward County Community College competed Friday and Saturday, Dec. 1 and 2, at Southwestern College in Winfield, narrowly missing one debate trophy and scoring high in indivdual events. The tournament, which was open division for debaters with up to eight years experience, brought together 50 teams from six states. The team of Dorsey Gentry, Hugoton, and Marty Sizemore, Liberal, won six and lost tw'o, missing a trophy by one speaker point. Wins came over Evangel Col- lege, State College of Arkansas, Kansas State of Emporia, Fort Hays State, Sterling College and Oklahoma Baptist. The team of Dennis Reed, Wichita, and Gloria Clay, Meade, won three and lost five with wins over Central Methodist, Oklahoma Baptist and Kansas State of Emporia. In individual events, Gloria Clay received superior and ex- cellent ratings in oratory and oral interpretation. Christina Hull, Liberal, re- ceived excellent ratin-g in ora- tory and interpretation. Marty Sizemore received good ratings in extemporaneous speaking. Debate coach Gene Clark said that despite very rough com- petion and very experienced op- position, our debaters displayed significant improvement. If they can maintain the enthusiasm and energy that they displayed at this tournament, we are going to go a long way.

Low bid is still too much The hopes of SCCJC Trustees for start of construction soon on a student activities center and swimming pool for Seward County Community College received a ioll' Tuesday affernoon, November 28, when the low bid on the iob came in at 5I23,000 over the archifect's estimate. Low of the three bids for the project was a base bid of 5688,000 submitted by McBride and Dehmer of Wichita, the construction firm now building the first phase of the niew campus. The architects on the iob, Schaefer, Schirmer, and As- sociafes of Wichita, had estimated the iob at 5545.000 plus a 520,000 contingency fund. The student activities center and pool are fo be financ- ed by revenue bonds in the amount of 5690,000, previously authorized by trustees, but not to be issued until after con- sfrulcfion contracts are signed. Trusteies took the bids under advisemenf Tuesday and assigned their architect to work on possible solutions. The matter will be taken up at the regular December board meeting, December l2, unless something develops requir- ing action af a special meeting. The 56'-70,000 in bonds must finance not only the con- struction, buf capitalized interest, architects fees, and fur- nishings, and would fall far short of covering costs with the bids which were received Tuesday. The other fwo bidders were Rhoades Construction Company, Goodland, base bid of 57l8,333g and Busboom and Rauh, Salina, 5725,650. A fofal of 556,000 in deduct alternates were included in the low bid, but if all were accepted, would still leave the bid al' 5632,000 far above the estimate. George Emrich, in charge of the proiect for the firm of architects, mel' with trustees after the bid opening, said that he was uncertain as to why the bids came in so far above the estimate, but cited a number of possible factors. He said that as late as last Friday, Nov. 24, indications from contractors were that the estimate was close and not unfil shortly before the bid opening did the firm gel' hints that the bids would be well above the estimate. Emrich, re- ceived board aufhorify to consult with federal Housing and Urban Development officials as fo whether or not trustees can negotiate with the low bidder. However, there was some doubt expressed that enough could be negotiated owl' of the plans without a major revision calling for new bids. Federal money is involved in the proiect, requiring HUD approval of the plans and contract. Plans call for the student activities center, housing food service, book store, offices, dining areas and lounge areas, to be separated by the proposed swimming pool, from the physical facility now under construction. In their Dec. I2 meeting, however, the frusfees vofed to move ahead, after changes were made fo bring down the price of the activities center.

Saints gel' revenge by stomping We-si' Texos Sharie S'l'ompers The Seward County Saints rallied in the second half to de- feat the West Texas junior var- sity Stompers 73-61 Monday, Dec. 4, and averaged a, double overtime loss to the Stompers in Liberal, November 27. The triumph broke a two- game skid and gave the Saints a 2-4 overall record going into their conference opener against the Butler County Grizzlies, which SCCJC won 72-62. After a slow start, the Saints scoring pace picked up. The first good open of the evening came when Dale Doll bucketed two points with five seconds left in the first half to give the Saints a 35-34 intermission lead. It's the first time this season that SCCJ C has led at halftime. At the start of the second half, Donnel Brundidge, who triggered the win with 21 points, scored on a jumper, Foster Young tal- lied off a fast break, Brundidge put in two on a follow shot and Doll bagged one to give the Saints a 45-36 lead with 14:36 left in the game. The Stompers were never able to overcome that spurt. The mar- gin was in-creased to 11 points, 3' ' 'i Q 2 rir' 1. N T ' . Z, ,fr tfyzs ,.,' , 3 ,,,-' V ,.,, , QU 54-43, 62-51 before West Texas made its last gasp for victory by ripping off eight straight points. The flow was stopped when Brundidge put in a free throw, Stan Vaughn chipped in a pair of charities and Young found 553555 ieif the range from underneath. This gave the Saints a 67-59 lead with 1:05 left in the contest. Two elements aided the much needed triumph, fewer turn- overs and more free throws. In going 1-4, the Saints had aver- aged 20 turnovers and 14 free throw attempts. Dec. 4, the miscues were trimmed to 11 QWTS made 125 and the Saints had 32 opportunities at the line, casling in 21 times. WTS won the rebounding war 37-34 with Brundidge pacing SewCo with 13. Following the Saint standout in scoring was Vaughn with 15 while Doll put in 13. Y , D Seward Coun'l'y The Connors State College Cowboys from Warner, Okla- homa, roped the Seward County Saints 77-71 in a cliffhanger Dec. 1 in the first game of the sec- ond night of the Amarillo Clas- sic. The Saints, 1-1 in the round- robin meet and l-3 on the year, lost to the host Amarillo Col- lege Badgers Saturday, Dec. 2 as the tourney closed play. Seward County was involved in another hair-raiser which wasn't decided until the final minute of play. Connors, now goes under fo Connors State. 77-71 3-1, led only 73-71 with 1:45 left in the game after Dale Doll drilled in a 15-footer. The Saints stole the ball and had an oppor- tunity to tie the game, but two shots at the baskets missed. Con- nors got the ball back with 46 seconds remaining and the Pokes went into their delay game. The Cowboys stalled until 21 seconds were left with Jasper Brown hitting on both ends of a one and one to push the lead to four points, 75-71. Seward again ' came away 55 empty-handed when a pair of shots misfired. Connors rebound- ed with Bill Hays being fouled with six seconds left. Hays con- verted both ends of the bonus situation to steal the six-point decision. Free throws not only hurt the Saints at the end but also killed them throughout the game. Se- ward County only had l2 oppor- tunities at the line and made l6 while Connors put in 15 of 21 chances. The Saints led in field goals 32-31.
