Air Forca Academy, Colo.
The Air Force Academy Fal
c o n s, facing tough Texas
Christian university in the
Cotton Bowl on New Year's
Day, have a lot of football
weapons and they know how
to use them.
The Falcons employed
strong passing, running and
kicking and a tough defense
to score nine victories and one
tie this season, their first in
major college competition.
The Academy has not yet
graduated a class.
They tied Iowa, 13-13, with
a balanced running and pass
ing attack. Against Oklahoma
State, they took to the air
brilliantly to win, 33-29. They
remained mainly on the
ground to crush Wyoming, 21
6; kicked field goals to edge
Utah, 16-14, and Denver, 10-7,
and recovered enough fumbles
to defeat Colorado, 20-14.
Other Victories Easier
The other victories came
easier: 37-6 over Detroit, 36-6
over ' Colorado State Univer
sity, 16-0 over Stanford and
45-7 over New Mexico.
On paper, they don't appear
strong. The biggest man is
217-pound Brock Strom, an
Ail-American tackle. But they
claw at an opponent's weak
spots with all their strength,
speed and alertness and some
thing usually gives.
Superbly coached by Ben
Martin and his staff, the Ca
dets operate from the winged
T with a man in motion or a
flanker. Martin alternates two
units and substitutes without
fear.
Quarterback is especially
strong with Rich Mayo, John
Kuenzel and Eddie Rosane, in
that order. Mayo, a sophomore
from Eureka, Calif., played
266 minutes, completed 98 of
174 passes for 1,019 yards and
11 touchdowns the fourth
best passing mark in collegi
ate football. Kuenzel played
226 minutes and Rosane, 113.
Leads In Rushing
Steve Galios, a 184-pound
fullback from Napa, Calif.,
led the team in rushing with
527 yards in 116 carries and
six touchdowns. Right half
back Mike Quinlan, 170 of
Bayport, Minn., scored the
most points, 48, and was sec
ond in rushing with 405 yards
in 80 carries. He scored on
several long runs. Phil Lane,
the other halfback, gained 279
yards in 65 tries. He weighs
165 pounds and is a native of
San Angelo, Tex.
Mayo, only 5-11 and 170
pounds, is an outstanding
punter, while reserve halfback
George Pupich has kicked five
field goals and made 12 of 16
conversions. The Academy

Tom Lorino, Auburn, at right
half; and Nick Pietrosante,
Notre Dame, fullback.
The West was expected to
start Lee Grosscup, Utah,
quarterback; Lou Burton, Ari
zona State, left half; Boyd
Bowler, Colorado, right half:
and Nub Beamer, Oregon
State, fullback.
The teams will run through
light and final workouts to
day. West coach Jack Curtice
of Stanford was expected to
announce his lineup after the
workout.
Thursday both squads
worked out in the morning,
then attended a Christmas
party in the afternoon.
"We had one of our best
workouts," said Milt Bruhn
of Wisconsin, assistant East
coach. "We spent a full hour
on offense and even got in a
half hour on defense. That
makes a total of one and one
half hours we've had on de
fense since we got here."
The West had its longest
workout of the season-a full
two hours. It was announced
that Buddy Dial injured an
ankle in Wednesday's work
out, but there is no fracture.
Dual Duties
Loss of Dial threw a crimp
into some of the West plans.
Bill Steiger, the versatile i
Washington State ace, will be
called on to perform both of
fensively and defensively in
the backfield and probably
on defense at end, as a result
of Dial's injury. There is a
good chance the lad from the
North may play most of the
game.
While Grosscup and Ptacek
will get the starting call at
quarterback, Bobby Newman
of Washington State for the
West and Frank Kremblas of
Ohio State for the East are
expected to see nearly as
much action.
The same holds true for the
other backs. Right behind
Clark in the East backfield is
Wray Carlton of Duke. Tom
Loreno of Auburn is close on
the heels of Haley; and Jon
Hobbs of Wisconsin will share
the fullback duties with Pie
trosante. Yesterday the West select
ed Grosscup and guard. Char
ley Horton of Baylor as co-captains.
