The Huskers had given Isaacson trouble most of the second half as rushes by the NT' ends, with Larry Tomlinson leading the charge, had made him hurry many of his throws.

But when the rush failed once, that was all Isaacson needed. With the exception of two early drives both of which were stopped deep in Falcon territory the Air P'orce outplayed the Huskers throughout the open- in half as the lighter Falcon line consistently outcharged the NU forward wall. nota and to run through. This Air Force effort provided the Falcons with a 7-0 halftime margin. The Falcons took the early lead after driving 92 yards in 11 plays to score with 12:15 left in the second quarter when Czarnola dived over from one yard away.

Holaday kicked the extra point. The big play in the drive came when Isaacson, with the ball on his own 47, lofted a pass into arms at the llusker 40. Czarnota then galloped to NF 11. It took the Falcons four plays to gain a first down at the Husker one. O.arnota then scored.

Devaney said there were four injuries that could cause the Huskers some problems knee, Kent ankle, Bobby rib and John ankle. He said Duda might have to play next week since knee injuries often get worse in a few days than better. Devaney has found a rugged match in Ben Martin, the Air F'orce coach who has whipped him three times against one loss and one tie, all but this one at Wyoming.
