For the Builders, It Was T heir F inest Hour Football has always been described as a game of gains and losses. For the 1982 Southwestern College Football team, those words couldnit have described things bet- ter. The gains included a seemingly elusive KCAC championship--the first for the Moundbuilders since 1968; a victory in the first-ever, annual Sunflower Bowl; 3 na- tional ranking as high as 19th in the NAIA Division II poll, and the naming of three Southwestern players to All-American lists. Perhaps the biggest loss for the Build- ers in 182 came off the field when head coach Dennis Franchione announced his resignation to take the position of offensive coordinator at Tennessee Tech University. Prior to the season, Southwestern was considered to be a front runner in the al- ways tough KCAC. The conference coaches picked the Builders to finish second behind perennial power Bethany. That pre- diction didnit seem to bother the Evangel College Crusaders. Evangel threw an immediate scare into 805 championship season hopes by am- bushing the Builders 24-3 in Sonner Stadi- um to open the schedule. Fred OTDear got the home team off to a good start, connect- ing on a 26-yard field goal minutes after the Crusaders fumbled the opening kick-off. After returning the favor with a three- pointer of their own, the Crusaders ex- ploded for 21 second-haif tallies, leaving Southwestern with loss number one. The Buildersa only other loss of the sea- son wouldnit come again until seven weeks later, and not before Southwestern had racked up six conference victories in a row. In its first road-game of 1982, SC relied heavily on the rushing of senior All-Ameri- can fullback Tom Calvin, who earned NAIA District 10 Player-of-the-Week honors for his 216-yard rushing perfor- mance, including a 72-yard dash for one of two touchdowns he scored on the afternoon. By the way, SC defeated Ottawa 34-16. The Builder fortunes continued the fol- lowing week back home. Calvin nearly du- plicated his show, gaining 225 yards on the ground and scoring two more touchdowns. At Tabor, Southwestern scored 28 points in the first half, including three Calvin touchdown runs and a 54-yard pass from Calvin to freshman Mike McFarland, in trouncing the Blue Jays, 35-24, With a 3-0 record invthe KCAC, 3-1 overall, Southwestern began their iisecond season7 on October 9, looking at Friends Bethany and Sterling in three of the next four weeks. . In Wichita, senior linebacker Ron Ri- chardsonis 22-yard interception fora fourth-quarter touchdown proved to be the winning play of the afternoon as the Build- ers squeaked out a 10-7 victory. A Mike Magee 37-yard field goal in the first quar- ter was all the scoring the game saw untii e the interception. Friends scored late in the game, but failed to maintain their previou: BUILDER FOOTBALL TEAM: James Alford, Steve Roberts, Mike Magce, Lester Fowler, LeRoy Stegman, Vic Marcelle, Fred 01Dear, Kelly Glock, Steve Davi5,Tim Cargile.

DEFENSIVE TACKLE TOM AUDLEY t69t displays a taste of the tenacity that helped to earn him All-American honors in 1982. three-game win streak over Southwestern. October 16 will forever be a red-letter date on the SC football history calendar for two reasons. The Swedes of Bethany came to Winfield looking for a chance to keep their hopes alive for consecutive KCAC ti- ' the number six. Those hopes were dashed quickly. Southwestern, once again, used Calvinis 201 yards rushing, and two touch- downs to grab a 32-25 victory. Trailing 25- 241ate in the game, Calvin scampered six yards for the winning score. With nothing sion. Freshman quarterback John Welch hit sophomore Bryan Thompson in the end zone to close out the scoring. The second reason for Builder joy on that day came miles away in Sterling, Kansas where the previously unbeaten, and then league-lead- ing Sterling College Warriors were upset h by Friends, 27-12. The combination gave SC sole-possesion of first place in the KCAC and set up a showdown with Ster- ling on the road in two weeks. In between, Southwestern took a breath- to lose, SC attempted a two-point conver- I er for homecoming, facing St. Mary of the ANTON STEWART 0:0 uses his bulk to e1offend the Ottawa Braves on his way to becoming the Builders' third All-American last season RUNNING BACK TOM CALVIN 013 gives the Panhandle State Aggies the uAll-Ameriean Sliptt in last years inaugural Sunflower Bowl.
