Of all the educators I have been fortunate to meet, there hasn't been one "stuffed shirt" in the bunch. And they all have a good knowledge of interests that appeal to their students, like sports, for instance. I have yet to run across a place where bowling is so important to a community like it is here.

All three alleys could, I imagine, run full blast 24 hours a day what "with the interest there is in the sport. Just for the record, did you know the recent rains (did he say recent?) affected your bowling score? That's right, according to Jerry Bearman of the Hilltop Lanes, the humidity in the air affects the boards in the alley thereby causing your ball to have a greater curve than it would under dry circumstances. found the Big Air Force end all alone in the Poke end zone. Mayo then passed to Phil Lane for a two-point PAT and it was Air Force 20, Wyoming 7. But even the score failed to take the starch out of the Cowboys.

Three times in the final quarter the Pokes drove to inside the Air Academy's 20 yard line only to have a fumble, pass interception and incomplete pass halt their forward progress. The clock ran out with the Pokes on their own five yard line after crowd of 20,527 under gray skies. The 1958 Cinderella team picked up where it left off in the Cotton Bowl last January 1 and spotted the Pokes an early 7-0 lead on an intercepted pass and march to come from behind and gain the opening-game victory for the Academy. Cowboy fans had much to cheer tv- Ti isuaay anyaer naa intercepted a Falcon pass. Even in the dying moments of the final quarter the Cadets were driving for still a fourth TD.

After being on the short end of the statistics in the first half, the Pokes came back to dominate play in the final half. They out-gained, out-passed and out-first downed the Air Force. But in one column, "Fumbles Lost" the total read, Wyoming 5, Air Force 0. Dempsey, who started for Walden, perlormed in pleasing manner the final half. The running of Hill, Hamilton and Sandy Meg-gert was creditable.

Up front the Pokes had steady Fred Memmelaar as a linebacker, Marty Hamilton at an end and Dick Schnell at a tackle who glittered on defense. For the Air Academy Bronson, Hardage and Neal Rountree were towers of power on defense while Mayo, Quinlan, Pupich and Lane about in the early moments of the first quarter when Dick Hamilton picked off a Rich Mayo pass on the Cowboy 48 and rambled to the Air Force seven before being forced cut of bounds. Mark Smolinski took it to the four, Hamilton got to the two and then Jerry Hill dove into the end zone and the Pokes were off to a 6-0 lead. Joe Dempsey's conversion split the uprights, and Cowboy Joe resounded across the stadium as the Wyoming team held a 7-0 lead with 2:56 gone in the contest. But the Academy s'arted playing the percentages and breaks from that' point on.

Howard Bron-son covered a Jim Walden fumble on the Cowboy 31 yard line. Seven plays later second unit quarterback, John Kuenzel, hit halfback Don Baucom with a 13-yard aerial and the Flyboys made it 7-6. A penalty nullified the PAT and ten on vis tr" Cre'r" WENT ASTRAY: George That lonely feeling Saturday stemmed from the fact that half the town, or maybe even more, was down in Laramie taking in the Air Force 'Wyoming game. When Joe DiMaggio hit in those 56 straight games to set a new baseball record for consecutive hits in consecutive games, he also scored 56 times thereby setting another new, but very little known, mark. Jim Thompson, of KSPR, does a real fine job with the play play of the Casper Mustang football games.

The way Jim does it, you'd think every contest was a world series type of affair. He brings the excitement of the game right into the living room without the gaudy words which so many broad casters clutter up the airwaves with. That rodeo down Dallas way in December should be quite the thing. It is billed as the first "Who's Who'! in the world of bucking broncs and bulls. More aptly, it should be called the all-star game of the rodeo world.

strong Air Academy Cadet Wing that paraded on to War Memorial field Saturday afternoon before the start of the Air Force-Wyoming football The snappy corps, re Game Will Be Long Hunters seem to be having a ball this year in Wyoming. The phone, it seems, never stops ringing with the party on the other end telling of a kill of the "largest antelope you've ever seen." That's good news for the outdoor type of man. This is for the small world department, and there is a moral attached to it. Ray Lutterman, assistant football coach intro News, Desert News, Salt Lake City, plus an array of Wyoming newspaper men. Up one tier there was radio with Larry Berleffi, Cowboy network and John McClain, Mutual broadcasting.

McClain had a hard time keeping his mind on football since he does the baseball game-of-the-day for MBS along with Gene El-ston. his habit of wearing that green felt, Swiss Alpine type hat. And this season he tosses that hat on each touchdown. Each time the hat falls on the playing field and an alert student manager acts as a retriever. Neither bench remained seated throughout the contest In fact irate fans in the west stadium repeatedly called for the Falcons to be seated, but the Blue and they made themselves heard all afternoon.

A team of seven cheerleaders, all male naturally, kept the Corps going and also included a small trampoline to supply the added acrobatics. At half-time Mach I and Mach II, falcons from the Academy, performed with their trainers with double lures. The fans oohed and ahed as the birds swooped low over the stadium to hit the lures LARAMIE Although the Cowboys came out on the short end of the grid classic, fans that attended Saturday's spectacular here will long remember the contest for color and pageantry. As the clock hit 12:30 p.m. the Air Force band, attired in full blues, struck up a snappy jnarch and the wing of the Air Academy (1,500 itrong) started filing on the gridiron.

As they came they smartly took positions across the field until the 100-yard greensward was covered with Air Force Blue. At command the Corps saluted, by voice, the east and west stands. And then in typical Army, Navy fashion they trotted off the field and into the east stands where duced me to a former University of Wyoming team mate of his, John Lenihan. Lenihan told me he comes from Brooklyn, my home town. As we talked, it developed that John and I White clad squad stayed on its feet through the contest.

The fans finally stood up and of course that led to more complaints. Although cokes weren't saleable, Scouts were prevalent with even Colorado State U. head man, Tuffy Mullison, watching the proceedings. Denver, Idaho, Arizona and Colorado U. were represented by the boys with charts and deep lived right around the corner from one another and never even knew the other existed, despite the fact we are of the same era.

It took about 15 years and 2,000 miles for two guys, and then circled high above the stands only to repeat their breathtaking performance. The Wyoming band performed for the remainder of the half but little of the large crowd watch as they filled the lower half of the stadium seeking coffee to fight who should have known each other a long time ago, to meet and get aquainted. That's what I like about Casper. the coffee concession cleaned up as a brisk breeze coupled with low-hanging clouds, kept the fans bundle up. In fact a few flakes of snow and an occasional drop or two of rain found their way to the ground through the game.

Traffic, with the record-breaking crowd, was handled in top fashion by ROTC units and Laramie police. Highway 30 west' was bumper-to-bumper following the game. Ray Giflin. Like the Pokes Were Russians dark plans. Seen in the crowd was Mayor Earl Johnson of Casper with his wife, while two chartered busses brought Elks from Casper to the game.

Also from Rock Springs came a seven-car train loaded with southwestern rooters. They picked them up all the way from the Springs into Laramie. Ben Martin, personable head mentor of the Air Force, continued the cold. Many fans remarked that the Air Force game brought a little bit of the Army-Navy thrills to Wyoming for at least one day of the year.
