Auto. etc. BRAND NEW SWINGER TWICE A YEAR WEST POINT, N.Y. Michie Stadium stands majestically beside the placid waters of Lusk Reservoir, presenting an almost panaramic stage for college football. It is, of course, the home for football at the United States Military Academy, and has been for 49 season past.

This 100-yard patch of green has been good to Afmy teams, as the Cadets have won 204 games here while losing only 34 and tying three for a phenomenal winning percentage of .846. It's more of a legend than a stadium as the ghosts of Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis still roam the sidelines as rememberances of chilly fall afternoons of the past. But Tennessee has little respect for history or legends. It is simply interested in winning football games, and that was all the Vols had on their collective minds this Saturday. In somewhat unimpressive fashion, the Volunteers plodded to a 37-18 victory over the underdog Army team before a crowd of 39,942.

But the final score doesn't truly convey the fight this Army team put up a squad picked by many experts not to win a single game this year. In fact, Army drew first blood with less than three minutes gone in the game as Tennessee's Condredge Hollo-way fumbled and Army recovered it on the Vols' 12-yard stripe. The Cadets failed to pick up a first down, and Jim Barclay booted a 25-yard field goal for a 3-0 Army lead. Tennessee then drove to the Army 20 before it ran out of gas, and barefoot kicker Ricky Townsend of Dalton booted a field goal from 37 yards out to tie it up at 3-3. The Vols were right back in business a short time later after a pass interception, but the offense sputtered and Town-send booted another three-pointer from 26 yards away and Tennessee led 6-3 with 3:25 remaining in the first period.

The Vols, ranked No. 10 in the country, must be having some second thoughts, for the Tennessee defense against the pass is somewhat suspect. Army quarterback, Kingsley Fink, literally picked the Vol defense apart, completing 23 of 35 passes for 316 yards, which set an Army record for most yards in a contest. In fact, Fink was so hot at one time that he hit 11 consecutive passes before missing. Tennessee cud manage to get a touchdown before intermission, however, as Holloway hit freshman Stan Morgan on a 52-yard pass which carried to the Cadet 15.

Haskell Stan-back did the final honors from the one-yard line and Town-send converted to give the Vols a 13-3 advantage. Army came back strong after halftime and drove to the Tennessee 12 before being forced to settle for another Barclay field goal from 38 yards away. Tennessee held only a 13-6 advantage, but Holloway soon took care of that. He took off on a third and nine situation and didn't slow down until he was caught from behind on the Army 17. Holloway was so winded after his 47-yard run, he was replaced by Gary Valbuena, who guided Tennessee to its 20-6 lead.

Steve Chancey scored from the 10-yard line for the Vols' second touchdown. The fourth quarter saw Townsend kick another field goal for a 23-6 lead for the Vols, but Army retaliated quickly. The Cadets drove 76 yards in seven plays, mostly on Fink's passing. Bob Simons carried it in from the one and Army's try for two was no good and Tennessee had the upperhand at 23-12. The Vols then put it out of reach, moving 55 yards in only 6 plays as Stan Morgan caught a touchdown pass from Holloway which covered 29 yards and Townsend again did the honors for a 30-12 Tennessee lead.

Fink managed to get his Cadets within respectable distance as he hit end Barry Armstrong with a 25-yard scoring strike to bring Army within 12 points at 30-16, but Tennessee scored again with only eight seconds left on a 43-yard pass from Valbuena to John Yarborough for the final margin. Townsend's fourth conversion of the game gave the Vols 98 straight points-after. Army's passing game would have been even more effective if the Cadets had any kind of rushing offense, but they managed only 30 yards rushing all afternoon while Tennessee ground out 211 rushing and 287 passing.

AT LAVISTA 633-4344 II If II nd $1,000 to $15,000 MORTGAGE or more! Discipline: The West Point Way By NORMAN AREY Atlanta Journal-Constitution Staff Writer WEST POINT, N.Y. To the sea, and through the centuries, the great Hudson River rolls in beauty, while along her shores, legend and history come alive. This is the area Washington Irving chose to enshrine through Rip Van Winkle as he looked upon the Catskills and the Appalachian Trail. The United States Military Academy sits beside the Hudson in its own kind of beauty. The school is a study in granite and ivy, giving an austere, cold appearance.

It is immaculately manicured, but still conveys an impression of unyielding aloofness. The Academy isn't in West Point, it IS West Point. The school sits on a 16.000-acre tract adjacent to the small village of Highland Falls. There's nothing particularly unusual about this village with one exception it proibably has more bars, per capita, than any city around. The village of only a few thousand is literally dotted with pubs along its main street while souvenir shops abound.

There's virtually no way to reach West Point except by auto. Although it's only 20 miles north of New York City, the trains have been discontinued, and there is no air service. There is a boat which runs up the Hudson, but only once a week. Nevertheless, in this remote area exists a unique situation, for the U.S. Military Academy is probably one of the last true bastions of discipline in our' changing society.

West Point tends to be most exacting of its cadet charges. This same precision, which is so necessary to its life, sometimes appears to the visitor to be over-formality. But that's what makes the place tick, and it's not about to change. "This is the strictest of all the service academies," said Greg Islan, an enlisted man. "They don't give an inch here." This staid, historical place undergoes noticeable changes only five or six times a year.

The occasion is a home football game when stream into the little village (much to the chagrin of the inhabitants) and liter-ally take over for 24 hours to watch Army football. "I've never seen anything like it," says Head Football Coach Tom Cahill. "It's almost as if everyone is trying to outdo everyone else. I've never seen such elaborate preparations to have something to eat and drink before the game. Everyone meets out in the parking lot outside the stadium and starts setting up shop.

"There's one couple that comes up from Connecticut in a Rolls-Royce for every game. They have a chauffeur that brings out a marble top table with candles and the whole bit. There's another group of young people who have the world's longest portable bar. They have a table that unfolds to almost 12 feet long, and there's more booze out in that parking lot than anywhere in the slate on a football Saturday." Cahill's situation is unique, for he cannot go about the business of football as other major college coaches. The stringent requirements, both mental and physical, which the Academy insists upon, hamper recruiting, but Cahill says he prefers it that way.

"Sure, we have some obvious problems with recruiting," said Cahill. "When you sit down and talk to an 18-year-old aibout four years of college and then a five-year service commitment which goes with it, he's thinking that's a lot of his life to give: nine years. "Plus, all kids are thinking about playing pro ball, and he knows that hurts his chances. "But, we have things which help us compensate for those drawbacks. madras Do Anything You Want with the Money You Get!

I'm not saying players at other schools aren't smart, I'm just saying all of ours are. I know I sound like an idealist, but I feel academics and athletics are compatible.

The kid should come to school to learn something, not just to play football. "Plus, we're interested in seeing how a boy reacts to pressure, and football helps us do that. If he doesn't react well, we want to know about it quick, because what if he's in charge of a platoon somewhere and doesn't react well? Then, you've got real trouble." Why does a young man choose West Point over other schools? "The reason I came," offers Kingsley Fink, Army's starting quarterback, "is you can't beat Army for an education. Plus, the schedule we play is the best. You know you're going to play the top teams." But Fink acknowledges Army is tough.

"I thought about quitting my first year up here. I think everybody does," said Fink. "It's quite an adjustment going from a civilian to military life and it hits you right in the face real quick. There's constant pressure from all sides, but you get used to it. I've been here three years and I don't even think about it anymore." The senior player also had his own idea as to why Army has had at least considerable success over the past few years while playing a killer schedule.

Army is no longer the football giant it once was, but it is for the most part, at least competitive. "We know we can't recruit up here like a lot of the other schools, so I think maybe we play a little over our heads against teams that are obviously better than we are. We make up for our lack of talent by trying to be a little bit quicker or whatever. "I honestly feel our desire has a lot to do with it. We just want to win and have more pride than a of of teams." Army suffered its worst defeat in history opening game last season as Nebraska administered a 77-7 shellacking to the Cadets.

"But we came right back the following week and beat Texas and we were 24-point underdogs, said Cahill. Our team had pride, and I was as proud of them as any team I've ever had. That's the type of thing we're striving for here. The alumni sometimes don't realize this, and all they're asking is how many did you win last year? But I understand this, and I can live with it," says Cahill. The Academy would seem to be a financial boon to the citizens of Highland Falls, but an unusual situation exists between the village and the school.

"I wish they would move out and never come back," vows George Armstron, a local car dealer. "The whole bunch is the cheapest in the world. They come down and want to buy a car, but they want it for $30 over cost. I don't think you'll find a merchant in town that does any business with any of those guys. They've got their own stores on the base.

I think almost everybody wishes they would move. They think just because they're in the Army, the world owes them a living." "I don't even want their business," said Wayne Babcock, another auto dealer. "They go off somewhere and buy a car for almost cost, and then want us to service it. I tell them no, and then the letters start going out to their congressmen. But I don't care, and I'm still not going to service their cars." "We sure don't make anything off of them." said one tavern owner.

"This is off-limits to the cadets, and the officers have their own place to go on the post." "Everytime Army has a home football game, it costs me about $1,300 because the cars are just lined up bumper-to-bumlberand nobody can even get to my store," said another local merchant." I hate 'em and wish they'd never have a home game. You might think this village gets rich on football weekends, but it doesn't." Mi so it goes for West Point, academically one of the top schools in the world, but hated by the townspeople who live only a few feet outside its main guard gate. But, this place which owes part of its early success to Benedict Arnold, who successfully fortified it and then tried to give it to the British, marches on. -Arm One, Two Three Bedrooms from 5,000 RUEL PARKER Boomershine SALESMAN of the MONTH True value for your inflation-conscious budget!
