CROSSCOUNTRY The Southwestern College cross country team ran in nine different meets during the 1972 sea- son, There were six Builder harriers: juniors Leon ltDoc Mattocks and Hal Hinson; sophomore Gary Baughman; and freshmen Gary Brown, Ken Renner, and Stan Boggs. They were coached by Robert Karr, his fourth year as head coach. There were two home meets. On Oct. 28 the Builders hosted Oklahoma Christian College. On Nov. 4 the llunoftioialll KCAC meet was held at Green Meadows Golf Course. Since Southwest- ern and McPherson College were the only teams in the KCAC to run cross country, an official meet could not be held as five teams are needed for an ttofficial KCAC champ. The Builder harriers lost the meet by one point, 27 to 28. SC runners tlnished 1, 2, 6, 9, and 10. in fact, there was a tie for first place. Mattocks and Boggs both were clocked in at 27:56 for the five mile course. Baughman was the sixth place finisher with a time of 29:02. Renner placed ninth and Brown placed tenth. Two Builders, Boggs and Mattocks, ran in the NAIA National Meet at Liberty, Missouri, on Nov. 18. Boggs ran his fastest time all year, 26:18, and Mattocks ran 27:59, his second fastest time. Coach Karr was satisfied with the season, and the improvement all the runners made. ttThe out- standing thing of the season was the way Doc improved and the way Stan came along. Doc was a very dedicated athlete who never missed a morning or evening workout.

They beat Cloud County Juco 2-0 and tied Kansas State 0-0. K State won by cor- ner kicks - almost like flipping a coin. In other games, SC. defeated K.S.T.C., 3-1. Raymond George scored one point and Momodu Kabba scored two points. The only scheduled game they lost this semes- ter was to Wichita Soccer Club 6-1, Raymond George scoring the only point. At the end of the season the 8.0. record is 2 wins, 3 losses, 2 ties, and 3 canceled games One of S.C.'s reasons for having a better sea- son this year than last year is the defense. The defense, made up of Tom Fiddler, Charles Cook,

The defensive unit also made its best goal line stand of the season, and it couldn't have come at a better time. With a first and goal from the three, three KWU rushing plays got them to the one yard line. On fourth down, a rolleout pass was knocked down in the end zone by defensive back, Pat Murphy. SC also came up with three interceptions in the game. On the offensive side the Builders had their best rushing game of the season, 253 yards. Leading the way was freshman Todd DVorak. Playing in his first game as a running back, Todd carried the ball 31 times for 128 yards. Junior fullback Vic Mojica had 74 yards rushing and quarterback Knapp also added 49 yards. The offensive line of center Paul Allen, guards Dennis Burkett and Tom Ponzi, and tackles Steve Sav- erese and Jeff Stolpa really opened up the holes for the backs. Southwestern scored its points on two field goals by Larry Book of 27 and 37 yards. After SC intercepted a pass in the second quarter, the Builders drove 30 yards to KWUfs 10 yard line. Book then kicked his first field goal of the sea- son. The second field goal came after 808 goal line stand. Taking over on the one, SC put together its best drive of the year. running all the way to KWU's 20 yard line in 14 plays. Book kicked his 37 yard field goal to put the Builders on top 6-0 after three quarters. KWU had one more serious scoring threat. In five passing plays KWU moved from its 27 to the Builders 26 yard line. But the drive stopped when safety Greg Swalwell, playing his first game this year as a defensive back, intercepted his second pass of the game on the two yard line with 44 seconds left in the game. The win was a real compliment to the Builder players and their coaches; head coach Jim Para- more and assisted by Jake Brennan, Al Holde- man, Robert Karr, and Bill Stephens. It would have been easy to give in for the last game after the Bethany loss, but the Builders showed true Class and came back. The off-season will be much sweeter because of the effort. Coach Paramore commented that, It was a satisfactory season. Ilm glad we had another game after Bethany. The last game was probably our finest and it was real encouraging? Coach Paramore in a strategy session.

Bob Erickson, Tony Benevento and goalie Ken Nixon stopped the opponents repeatedly in important games, especially at the Emporia Soc- cer Tournament At the tournament, no points were scored on SC. This years offensive punch is made up of Fred Rose, Momodu Kabba, Raymond George, and Moise Epie. At the first of the season SC. scored only half of what was scored against them by other teams. In the second part of the season it evened out, and SC. scored as many points as were scored against them.
