Tribe Starts Slowly William Mary started slowly on a 21-yard field goal by Bill Geiger late in the first quarter.

But Mosser followed with his 44-yard burst on a throw up the middle on the second play of tbe second quarter and the Indians went on to ice the game with a pair of third period touchdowns. Mosser's record breaking effort overshadowed fine performances by Todd Bushnell and Ivan Stovall. Bushnell, who operates as the Indians other running back, garnered 114 yards on 19 carries and scored on a seven yard end run. First Start Stovall, making his first start at quarterback, ran for 64 yards. The victory marked the first time William Mary has beaten an opponent by more than eight points since the seventh game of its 1968 season when it trounced Villanova 33-12.

The Keydets finally got a touchdown when Gary Shope passed seven yards to Mac Bowman with 6:55 left in the game. They had driven 72 yards but by then it was too late.

(AP Wirephoto) Air Force Clubs Navy 26-3 WASHINGTON Air Force stunned Navy with two long first period touchdown drives Saturday and then hung on for a 26-3 victory in the first service academy football game played in the Nations Capital.

The seventh-ranked Falcons marched 73 yards for a score the first time they got the ball, moved 70 yards for another touchdown only four minutes later, and appeared headed for a rout. But Middie defense tightened and limited Air Force to two field goals the next two quarters, before the Falcons put the game out of reach with one last period touchdown. The power running of tailback Brian Bream was the key to the undefeated Falcons sixth victory. Bream picked up 50 yards in eight carries on the first touchdown drive, scored the third TD on a 38-yard jaunt, and wound up the afternoon with 214 yards on 36 carries for an Air Force single game record. Although the Middies were ab- sorbing their sixth defeat In seven games, senior quarterback Mike McNallen finished the afternoon with 12 pass completions, bringing his career total to 308, bettering the Navy record of 307 set by John Cartwright in 1967.

After Bream carried one yard for the first touchdown, the Falcons quickly got the ball back and with quarterback Bob Parker taking to the air for four pass completions of 48 yards the Falcons drove 70 yards in ten plays for a 13-7 lead.

The Herd narrowed the score to 16-14 late in the fourth quarter and staged another last-second drive that ended when Marcello Latjerman's 57-yard attempt at the buzzer sailed just inches under the crossbar. Marshall, trailing 6-0 at the half, took the lead in the third quarter after Marcus gave the Herd possession on the Louisville 25 when he threw an Incomplete pass from punt formation on the fourth down. Herd Scored From there it took quarterback Ted Shoebridge four plays to negotiate a touchdown, with the clincher coming on a one-yard plunge by halfback Kevin Gilmore. The Cardinals regained the lead early in the fourth quarter when Marcus hit his third field goal and took a 16-7 margin when Tom Jesukattis climaxed a long drive by scoring from the one. Marshall fought back, narrow- Ing the gap to 16-14.
