USAF ACADEMY, COLORADO

The theme of the ’75 yearbook reflects the progression of military professionalism with singular emphasis in the 1900’s. Significant events in the history and development of air power and air history have occurred during this in with the numerical designation 5. This book traces these events century years ending starting with the application of the Wright Brothers’ invention to Military Science in 1905, through the graduation of the Class of 1975. The administration of the military training programs by the first class and their outstanding achievements in intercollegiate, intramural, and academic disciplines set the pace for a record year in 1975. This year has been significant for the Air Force too. Seven hundred and fifty new second lieutenants, prepared for dedicated service to the Air Force and country, are committed to enter new weapons systems such as the B-l, F-15, F-16, A-10, and AWACS. 75’s accomplishments at the Academy serves proof to the significant role they will play in the Air Force. Each graduate will be engrained with both bitter and pleasant memories of the four years he spent here at the Academy. Hopefully, each of us will grow from our experiences here. Not to be forgotten are the injustices of the system. Dissect the lessons you learned from the observation of leadership styles and the administration of discipline. Take these lessons with you to make your Air Force a better service. Remember with pride four years at the Air Force Academy as you progress through this book. And never forget the lessons you learned in Honor, Ethics, and Integrity.

Maj. General James R. Allen

The Academy’s New Supt. Major General James R. Allen graduated from the Academy with a B.S. degree in Military Engineering in 1948. Commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Air Force, Allen received his wings from Randolph AFB, Texas. Early in his career, he was fortunate enough to fly two combat tours of duty in Korea. This provided him with the opportunity to observe the Air Force, and its roles and mission closely, thus providing him with some important career broadening experiences. The General’s distinguished career has included assignments at West Point, Headquarters European Command, Headquarters U.S. Air Force, Headquarters Strategic Air Command and various professional military schools. One of the highlights of his career came during the Vietnam conflict. Serving as the Commander for Operations for the 12th Tactical Fighter Wing, General Allen gave birth to the plans for the Son Tay prison raid. Although unsuccessful in its attempt to free U.S. war prisoners it had significant effects on their morale and resulted in the consolidation of all American prisoners into one camp in North United States Military

Vietnam.

General Allen has enjoyed his year at the AF Academy a great deal. He firmly believes the Academy’s outstanding

Academic,

Physical

Education,

and

Military

Training

programs rank it as the finest institution in the U.S. if not the world.

One of Allen’s principal concerns is preparing the graduate for the Air Force and service to country. He is dedicated to this goal. His single most important piece of advice for the graduates of the Class of 1975 is that they mentally prepare themselves for a committment to the Air Force and a willingness to work.

Retired Wing Sergeant Major 1

Chief Master Sergeant Larry Garrett

Few officers or enlisted members of the Air Force have

distinguished themselves as has Chief Master Sergeant Larry Garrett in his service to the Air Force Academy. Affectionately, and with deep personal respect, this man has been known as “Chief’ for over 6 V2 years as the Cadet

Wing Sergeant Major. Retiring this year after 27 years of devoted service to the military, Chief Garrett was honored by the 4,000 member Cadet Wing in a parade ceremony. This man’s blend of professionalism and friendship created a deep feeling of personal respect in all those who had the opportunity to work with him. As the Cadet Wing Commander, Bentley Rayburn commented, “He’s the answer man to a lot of problems for the Cadet Wing,” “when things get down and out, he’s the man to see,” “a lot of cadets use him for an example of the ideal military man. The Class of 1975 especially is indebted to Chief Garrett. He has been a key factor in the development of professional attitudes and in motivating cadets toward the Air Force and service to country. His friendship and association has been most meaningful to us. We honor this man and hope that we can attain the ideals he has set for us. .

A cadet in the Aero major learns fundamental engineering by studying aircraft and jet engine performance and design. The principles learned have wide applicability to the Air Force and to society. The program is flexible. Optional courses put the best cadets on a par with top graduates from the leading engineering schools in the country. At the same time, the average cadet can cut the basic program if he tries.

The Aero major produces an Air Force officer with a sound and relevant engineering background. It

gives an officer a solid foundation upon which to build an

Air Force career.

The Department of Civil Engineering, Engineering Mechanics and Materials, through its three major programs, provides an educational background uniquely appropriate for an officer in today’s intensely technological Air Force. The Civil Engineering curriculum prepares a cadet for Air Force duty with some specialization in environmental, management, structural and construction engineering. The Engineering Mechanics major provides considerable breadth in areas fundamental to all branches of engineering, as well as depth in dynamics, materials and structures. The Engineering Sciences major is in essence interdisciplinary, with provision for study in areas of Aeronautics, Mechanics, Astronautics and Electrical Engineering. These programs prepare the graduate for service in most of the engineering related career fields in the Air Force, to include operations, maintenance, research and development and engineering management. More than eighty percent of Air Force Academy graduates majoring in Civil Engineering, Engineering Mechanics and Engineering Sciences, enter a rated career field upon graduation, and then return to their engineering interests, in later rated supplement assignments, as project engineers in aircraft and missile system program offices, as development engineers, materials or structural engineers, base civil engineers, and in staff and management positions in major command headquarters.

The goal of the educational program in economics is to introduce economic principles, problems and policies that are significant to every citizen. Special emphasis is placed on the economic aspects of

military programs. Cadets are provided with an orderly, objective approach to understanding both national and individual economic problems. The practical application of these concepts is demonstrated on the personal level and economic concepts are taught as integral components of the rational decision making process. Instruction in geography is based on the impact of man-land relationships, and spatial organization of functionally related places, and the global imbalance of natural and cultural endowments. These concepts permit the cadet to interpret the spatial complexities of human activity in the context of the Air Force environment.

Foreign language is an integral part of the core at USAFA, because a well-rounded professional Air Force Officer should have a basic understanding of the language and culture of at least one other country/area in the world. This enhanced cultural awareness will have an immediate affect by also helping curriculum

each cadet to better relate and understand other cadets

from different subcultures in the Wing while at the

Academy. An Air Force officer in his professional career will

also meet and work with people from many areas of the world. Foreign language study will enable him to more effectively deal with the many situations which are sure to arise when

people from different cultures meet and

work together.

Fluency in a foreign language will benefit an Air Force officer in assignments throughout his career. There are specific jobs which require knowledge of a foreign language (Intelligence, Area Specialist, Air Attache, Military Assistance, Advisory Groups). 53

The Department of History endeavors to impart to all cadets an understanding of contemporary issues, especially those affecting our military establishment, through the study of past events and personalities that have shaped the world of the present. The department also seeks to foster good leadership traits through daily contact with cadets in the academic environment and through participation in their

sports and extracurricular activities. For those cadets who continue with a History major, the

development of historical judgment, good research methods, and precise writing techniques are emphasized in the fields of U.S. history, area histories, and military history. Colonel A.F. Hurley

An ability to see and understand events and people in proper perspective is preparation which is vital for an officer throughout

his

career and as a basis for pursuing graduate work in the future. The instructors in the Department, besides having excellent qualifications to teach in the various fields of history, have extensive experience in a wide range of Air Force specialties. As a result, these officers are able to provide understanding of the discipline while serving as examples of the expertise required and opportunities available in an Air Force career.

The class of 1975 has four members who will attend Indiana University after

graduation in a cooperative masters degree history. They are Richard A. McIntosh, Philip R. Jones, Steven E. Else, program in

The service academies have always been far ahead of most civilian colleges in providing un-

dergraduate education in the general principles and concepts of the law. Carrying on this tradition, the Department of Law offers two core courses

familiarize cadets

with

the

basic

nature and function of American private law, as

well

as certain aspects of administrative law, military and criminal law, and the First Amendment to the Constitution. While a knowledge of these subjects is of value to any citizen, it is vital to the military officer, who is constantly involved in the personal problems of the men under his leadership, and whose duties, in large part, arise

out of the

administration of federal law.

The

department also offers several elective courses dealing with specific fields of law of interest to prospective Air Force officers. For example, management majors complete the course in government contract law. Courses in International Law and American Constitutional Law are also offered, as well as a seminar on the legal

aspects of contemporary social, economic and

political problems. Academy graduates who wish to become Air Force lawyers may

apply for permission to attend law school after two years of active duty. In addition to their academic duties, the members of the department, who are all licensed

attorneys, act as counsel, legal advisors and judges on various administrative boards and courts-martial, and provide legal advice and assistance on the personal problems of cadets and faculty members. The department is especially noted throughout the Air Force for its work in the area of personal estate planning, and its members are frequently lecturers on this subject at senior service schools and bases all over the

United States.

The Life Science major is designed for the cadet whose abilities and interests are in the area of biological sciences and their application to the aerospace mission of the Air Force. Life Science courses

designed to provide cadets with the basic concepts necessary to understanding how the body functions. Emphasis is placed on physiological and environmental stresses to provide a practical and comprehensive background for understanding the body and its limitations. Areas of study include the physiological responses to the stresses of flight, survival, fatigue, disease, and environmental pollution. An understanding of these vital areas is essential to maintaining a healthy body and to a commander’s ability to make meaningful decisions concerning the welfare of his men. are

The Mathematics Department is the largest of the

faculty and represents a cross-section of Air specialties. Instructors are chosen from numerous academic disciplines, allowing them to provide a wide spectrum of applications to the mathematics topics taught. Besides mathematics, the disciplines represented by department are Operations Research, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, Systems Analysis, and many areas of Engineering. The mathematics department teaches a six-course core sequence covering analytic geometry, single and multivariable calculus, introduction to vectors, matrix algebra, series, differential equations, probability and statistics. This program gives cadets the mathematical foundation for the eleven remaining courses in the core science and engineering curriculum. The Mathematics major consists of five mandatory courses: Probability, Linear Algebra, Advanced Calculus, Introduction to Operations Research, and Introduction to Numerical Analysis. In addition, five courses may be chosen in a desired area of specialization, taken from theoretical math, applied math, or operations research. Two application options from other departments and five free electives are also required. Because of the flexibility of the mathematics major and its three track system, many cadets can take it as a second major. The USAFA mathematics program provides the basis for development of cadets as technically compeUSAFA Force

DFP

The major in Physics concentrates on basic principles and mathematics. It provides an excellent academic background for a wide range of technical assignments within the Air Force, particularly in the field of research and development. It also provides a sound basis for graduate work in physics, related applied science, and a wide variety of engineering careers.

BASIC CADET TRAINING BASIC CADET TRAINING-1974: The push for excellence started with the first step off of the bus. The new basics were im-

mediately formed into small groups and taught how to march. They marched everywhere that first day and continued to do so for the next six weeks. For a majority of the basics, everything they did for those six weeks was new, challenging, and demanding, both mentally and physically. Every day for the first three weeks from 0550 until 2200, the day was full. Activity included tests, physical training, drill, runs, intramurals, and during the “free” time shining shoes, cleaning rooms and basic knowledge. Now that every minute was taken, the basics came to realize that time was a valuable commodity. Second BCT found much of the same plus a stay in Jack’s Valley where the basics were often pushed to their limits. The obstacle course, the assault course and finally the Valley Sweepstakes. And as if all of this were not enough, the final day found the squadrons in fierce competition for Field Day in a last effort to see who would be Honor Squadron. Then the goal of every basic was realized: acceptance into the cadet wing.

JiifiljffiW TWrimwi\r‘‘

S.E.R.E. Fear Cold Hunger Fatigue Maybe the tents are gone and they’ve added T41’s for vector training, but the feelings are the same. SERE’s changed a lot but all for the better. To quote one cadet, “SERE is the most valuable program at the Academy.” And it is the only one where cadets are trained by other cadets working in the capacity of professional Air Force instructors. .

What other program is so valuable that it teaches you

something that you will hopefully never use?

Such

how to survive and avoid capture if shot

down in enemy territory. Or how to resist the enemy to the utmost if capture is unavoidable. At least if the

need occurs, we will be ready.

AM-370 The mission of the AM-370 program is to provide an appreciation of aviation skills, airresponsibilities, and jet aircraft capabilities and to motivate qualified cadets toward a flying

cadets with crew

career

in the United States Air Force. The program

consists of two local flights, one cross country flight and five hours of associated

flight line instruction.

The success of this course is evidenced by the almost one

hundred per cent voluntary participation of the

Second and Third Classes.

T-41 The T-41 program at the Academy is a required for all First Classmen who volunteer to take

course

Air Force Pilot Training after graduation. The train-

ing includes dual flight instruction, ground school, solo flight training. Cadets completing the program then have the option to apply this flight time and knowledge towards an FAA pilot certificate. and

Parachuting The parachute program at USAFA covers a wide range of activity with a large scope of cadet involvement. The first course available to cadets is AM-452.

This involves about 600 cadets a year and is taught at Ft. Benning, Georgia. At USAFA itself, AM-490 is

taught. This is a seven jump course and, like Ft. Benning, results in the award of a parachutist rating. AM-490 is available to 250 cadets a year and is taught by cadet parachute instructors. The 20 cadet instructors comprise the Academy’s parachute team which competes across the country and performs in demonstrations in addition to its teaching duties. The parachute program at USAFA provides opportunities for cadets to learn about themselves and to

gain leadership skills.

Soaring The

Soaring

Program

the

Academy is

designed with Undergraduate Pilot training in mind. The use of checklists, the methods of flight instruction, and the basic goals of the program have all been directed toward teaching habits that will be required later in flight training. The Academy Soaring

Program uses several types of sailplanes and a majority of the instruction is done by cadet instructor pilots. Many cadets take part in the program because it offers a kind of serenity that can only be experienced in the untrespassed sanctity of space.

Navigation The

Navigation Division offers elec-

tives that introduce the cadet to the basics of aviation navigation and space related astronomy. The Navigation courses are to all categories of cadet physical qualifications and span the total spectrum of navigation. The basic courses introduce the cadet to navigation via the classroom, simulators, and the actual airborne enopen

vironment. The advanced courses further

the cadet’s capabilities and awareness of the aircrew environment. The airborne environment has recently been dramatically

improved from the T-29 aircraft to the world’s most advanced navigation trainer aircraft, the Boeing T-43A. Navigation Division

courses

span the

aviation spec-

trum from

atmospheric flight and flight equipment basics to space flight. The combined areas that are taught by the Navigation Division introduce and better prepare

the

cadet to become a knowledgeable, professional officer in the United States Air Force.

3rd Lieutenant The purpose of the Third Lieutenant give First and Second Class

program is to

cadets exposure to an operational Air Force unit and the functions of a junior officer. To

accomplish this, the cadet is assigned to a selected Air Force base in Europe, the Pacific area, Alaska, or the continental United States. While stationed at that base, the cadet is assigned jobs equivalent to that which he can expect upon graduation from the Academy. Third Lieutenant’s educational and motivational aspects make it

one

of the

programs offered

effective training by the Academy.

COWBOYS LASSO

FALCONS 20-17

In an error and penalty—filled game, the Wyoming Cowboys scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to give the Falcons their second con-

secutive loss of the young season. The Cowboys’ winning touchdown came on a surprising four yard draw play with 8:32 left to play in the game. Offensively for the Falcons, reserve quarterback Ken Vaughn did most of the damage to Wyoming by throwing two touchdown passes, a 15—yard pass to flanker A1 Bready and a 25—yard pass to split end Bob Farr. This air attack, however, was not enough to beat the underdog Cowboys.

Force/Colorado clash. The game started out like the typical Colorado rout when the

Buffs jumped out to

21—3 first

quarter lead, with Dave Lawson’s record breaking 60—yard field goal the Falcon’s only rebuttal. However, a combination of some excellent passing and a defensive adjustment to Colorado’s option turned the game completely around in the middle of the second quarter. From that point on, Falcon hopes were kept alive until the final seconds when

the

Falcons still couldn’t find the winning combination in a game marred by a rain—soaked field. Both teams

were

hampered by the weather in

which there were 14 fumbles, 3 interceptions, and a

mere

262 total yards.

It was definitely a defensive battle. The only

touchdown scored was a 54—yard punt return in which the Falcons were caught by surprise think-

ing a fair catch would be called under such slippery field conditions.

Offensively, the Falcons had to remain on the ground and could not use their usual wide open style of attack. If it had been another day, the story may have been different. However, as the old saying goes, the effects of air power, under poor weather conditions, diminishes considerably. This was the case for the Falcons today.

FALCONS SINK NAVY IN

“EVERYTHING GAME”

120

The Falcons finally broke their four—game losing streak in exciting, come—from—behind victory over Navy which probably will go down as the “hairiest” game in Air Force history. The victory meant everything to the Falcons for they pulled it out from what seemed to be a certain defeat and proved that they could win the close ones. Offensively, the Falcons failed to cross the goal line in first half. They had to settle for Dave Lawson’s two field goals and went into the locker room trailing 9—6. During the entire third period, both teams exchanged punts as Navy gradually gained excellent field position. At this point, the Falcon passing attack w as still stymied. The fourth quarter began with Navy’s powerful fullback cutting through Air Force’s sticky defense for a 4—yard touchdown and a 16—6 lead. At this time, many Falcon fans were already “losing their hair” in defeat. However, the Falcons were not to be denied as Navy then proceeded to give away the game. At the midway point of the fourth period, it seemed as though Navy had the game under control when the Falcons were again forced to punt. However, Navy fumbled the punt and Air Force recovered on their 19—yard line. Four plays later on a crucial fourth and eleven situation, Vaughn connected to Bob Farr, on his first completion of the day, to the Navy 4—yard line. Runningback Ken Wood then proceeded to score to pull the Falcons within three, 16—13. an

Two blocked punts and one missed field goal later, Dave Lawson came on to kick a 34—yarder with only 2:08 remaining to tie the

in which the “will to win” and the “never die” attitude certainly

shined through in this game that meant everything.

EMBARRASSED BY RUTGERS 20-3

124

The Falcons were simply outhit and out-tackled in this embarrassing 20—3 loss to the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers. Furthermore, they tried playing without one of their key ingredients—emotion. Offensively, the Falcons failed in their passing attack—a key to past success—by completing only 10 passes for 87 yards. On the other side, the Falcon defense had their backs up against the wall all day long due to the six turnovers in their own territory. Thus, a combination of numerous turnovers along with a lack of emotion generated the Falcon’s fifth loss of the ’74

season.

Even though Shaw seemed to get the ball moving, it was not enough to beat the highly spirited Cougars.

FALCONS SHELL —SHOCKED BY OWN In a hard fought, seesaw battle, the Falcons’ rush for ser-

vice school supremacy fell short on an Army 33—yard field goal with only 17 seconds remaining in the game. It looked as though Air Force had the game put away when

they turned the ball over with only 2:39 left on the clock, leading 16—14. However, Army’s reserve freshman quarterback, Leamon Hall, directed his passing specialty unit, made up of an entirely new backfield and receiver corps, on a 64—yard field goal drive to turn the game around. The 6 5" plebe seemed to have magic on his fingertips as he threaded his way through the Air Force secondary in the closing moments. To be honest, however, the Falcons were operating at the time without the services of its defensive quarterback Mike Mark, who broke his leg on the seventh play of the game and

was

lost for the season.

Again the story of the game was the Falcons’ inability to capitalize on their scoring opportunities.

of the season,

the Air Force

pounding from the Irish of Notre

Dame. The Orange Bowl bound Irish rolled up 537 yards total rushing while holding the Falcons to only 117. On their first drive, the Falcons seemed to be able to move the ball at will until stalled on

the 1—yard line by a

Notre Dame interception. From that point on, it was all Notre Dame. Coach Parseghian started his second offensive unit in the third period after the Irish built a 28—0

half time lead. To summarize the season, with a few more breaks, an

inch here, a couple of seconds there, the Falcons could

easily have been 9—2. Much credit should be given to such a talented team, to be able to fight back under such circumstances. As Ara Parseghian stated, “They (Falcons) are probably the best 2—9 team you’ll ever see.’’

A trio of Air Force

players

soccer

have been honored for their play this past fall.

Leading the group was senior team captain Len Salvemini, who was selected to play for the West squad at the Senior Bowl game. In addition, Salvemini, a halfback, was named to the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Soccer League team for the fourth straight time, earning first team honors this season. Teammate Jack

Shine, a senior fullback, also was named to the first team while freshman goalie Greg Schulze was selected to the second team.

The Falcons closed the 1974 with

overall

4-5-2

and

4-2

RMISL record, which was good enough for a second place conference finish. Salvemini

holds

several

Air

force

scoring records including most career goals, 65; most goals in a season, 23; and most goals in a game, six. Salvemini finished his Falcon career as leading scorer in the 1974 season with 12 goals and five assists. He was also selected to

In its fourth year as a Varsity team, the 1974 USAFA

compiled the best record (21-6) of any previous team. Leading the team and finishing his fourth and perhaps best season was Senior Team Captain Ben Phillips. Ben has started and led the team in scoring during each of his four years as a Falcon Water Polo Player. Ben can safely be called the best water polo player east of California (and one of the best there). Among the many firsts accomplished by the 1974 team are winning three tournaments in one season, winning the District 7 Crown, and earning a berth in the 1974 NCAA Championship Tournament. Though the team lost three games at the NCAA’s, there is no reason to despair. Falcon fans can expect even better things from their 1975 Water Water Polo Team

Polo Team.

A winning spurt at the end of the season gave the Air Force Basketball team its second winning season in three years. The Falcons of Coach Hank Egan won their last three games to wind up with a 13-12 record and one of the best defensive marks in the na-

tion. After dropping to 10-12 with a 76-53 loss to nationally ranked Creighton, the Falcons came back to down Western State 93-49 and California-Irvine 70-58 at home, then clinched the winning campaign with a 77-57 triumph on the road against Denver. Air Force wound up with an 8-5 home mark but had its best

road record in 11 years when it finished with a 5-7 mark, equal to the road record set by the 1964 team. Air Force also wound up as one of the top defensive teams in

the nation for the third straight year by surrendering only 63.0 points per game. Also, figuring in the national statistics was senior

guard Dan Kraft, who set a school season mark by making 83 of 95 free throws for an 87.4 per cent average, a statistic that will place him among the top two or three in the nation. Kraft also set a school career

free throw shooting mark by making 116 of 138 for an 84.1

percentage, easily above the old record of 80.2. Kraft also wound up as the leading scorer with 407 for a 16.3 average and his career total of 752 points moved him to 11th on the Falcon’s all-time scoring list. Senior forward Jim Eken moved to ninth on the all-time scor-

ing list with 796 points after winding up as the second leading scorer this season with 230 points. Leading the team in two other categories, assists and steals, with 62 and 29, was senior guard Jeff Graves, a team co-captain along with Kraft. Although the Falcons usually had the height disadvantage, they outrebounded their opponents for the second straight season, coming up with 964 to the foe’s 921. Air Force also outshot foes from the field, 42.5 per cent to a 42.0 mark.

One of the best records in the nation, and certainly best in the ice hockey history of the Air Force

Academy, has been posted by the Air Force ice hockey team.

The Falcons of coach John Matchefts wound up with

record of 24 victories, only 5 losses, and one tie. From a standpoint of percentages, the record was slightly better

than the 25-6 mark set in 1971-72. Air Force posted a 17-1 record at home this winter, including a 13-game winning streak that will carry over into next season. At one point the Falcons won 10

straight games, a school record, before bowing to Bowling Green. Season highlights included victories over nationallyranked New Hampshire, 7-6 in overtime, in the season opener and a pair of victories over another nationally ranked team, Colorado College, 1-0 and 7-6 in overtime. Sophomore Chuck Delich led the team in scoring for the second straight year with 64 points, including 38 goals, also the team high. As was the case last season, he wound up among the top goal producers in the nation. His two-year total of 131 points moves him to seventh on the Falcon all-time scoring list. Senior team captain Gerry Micheletti climbed to eighth on the all-time scoring list with 127 points when he tied for third in scoring this season with 50 point on 14 goals and 36 assists. Senior goalie A1 Morrison once again was the top netminder and had his best season, stopping 88.3 per cent of opponent’s shots, one of the best averages in school history. He wound up with most of the career records for Falcon goalies, ending a Falcon career that saw him appear in 105 games.

Bob Orwig, Steve Campbell, Russ Casella, and Marv Cook. The team’s top pinner was Russ

Casella followed closely by Bob Orwig and Steve Campbell. The top Falcon record was Steve

Campbell’s 22-3-1. The team didn’t do as well in tournaments as it did in dual meets. In the Wyoming Open, the

Falcons placed second with two champions, Steve Campbell and Marv. Cook. In the USAFA Invitational, Air Force placed fourth, having one champion, Steve Campbell. In the MIWA, with three starters out of action, the team placed seventh. At Regionals, the Falcons crowned two champions and qualified one more. The two champions were Bob Orwig and A1 Nunytten. Steve Campbell qualified on a wild card slot, even though competing in the toughest weight class in the regional. At Nationals, Bob Orwig was the only Falcon to place, thus becoming the team’s first All American in four years and giving Air Force a 26th place. Bob, also, was the team captain, the only senior, and the most valuable wrestler.

Their

dual meet

record now stands at 37 with 57 consecutive home vietories. The team has not lost at home since 1967, when Denver upset the Falcons 53-51. Such a record deserves the praise Coach Arata extends to his men by saying, “The best team we’ve ever had.” The best is revealed in the many new dual meet

records set this season. Jim Hague established a new time of 21.36 seconds in the 50 freestyle. He also

helped the 400 Medley Relay of Steve Tibbitts, Bill Marshall, and Mark Muttilainen to record a new mark of 3:34.56. Jim did not slow up, however, until he helped the 400 Free Relay of Joe Baudendistel, Don Magee, and Tom Skillman post a new record of 3:09.34. Rick McAlister established a new goal of 349.30 points in the 3 Meter Dive. Rick’s laurels entail more

winning

season

defeating Denver

Lacrosse Club 20-1 in the final game of the season. The win raised the Falcons’ final season record to 9-1 and also marked the seventh time in the last

nine years that the Falcons have won both the Rocky

Mountain Open and Intercollegiate championships. The Academy set six school records and tied two others during the season.

Heading the list was Bill Woolford, who set five individual records and tied another. They included: most goals in the game, nine; most points in a game, 15; most goals career, 120. Woolford led the team in scoring for the second straight season, netting 51 goals, one shy of his own season record of 52, and added 47 assists for a total of 98 points. Dave Anewalt, Henry Esposito and Gary Janelli ended careers with 75, 103, and 211, respectively. Janelli and Anewalt tied for 2nd in total

Air Force baseball completed its 1975 season the same

way it began—on a two game winning streak.

The final pair of wins were against Western State 7-5

and 10-1, which lifted the team to a 16-18 finish. Although not a winning season, the 1975 year was one filled with numerous records.

Heading the list was Jeff Brown, voted

most

valuable player, who set the career runs batted in and home run records with 88 and 28, respectively. Brown had seven RBI’s and two homers in the last

four games helping to post those marks. Brown also led the team in hitting for the third straight year, en-

ding 1975 with a .419 average and now has a .389 average for three seasons.

Another top performance was turned in by senior

Corrigan, who broke three records: season at bats-137, career plate appearances-321, and most home runs in one game-3. Corrigan hit three round trippers in one game twice this season and helped the Jim

Falcons swat a total of 53 for the season, five below

the school record. Corrigan was the only Air Force player to appear in all 34 games this year. In the pitching department, Matt Martorano earning top honors with a 3.04 ERA. Individually, Bobby Thompson hung up the best performance, throwing a one hitter in a six-inning relief performance against California-Berkeley at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas Invitational. The best winloss record was posted by Rick Sarver, with a 3-1

Mark. As a team, Air Force smashed a 13-year-old record for most runs in a season, totaling 298 in 34 games. The squad also set records for most hits (370)

and most runs batted in (247). As a team, Air Force 166

The players, sophomore Scott Benson, junior Steve Skidmore, and Ric Sharp, a senior and team captain, have helped produce just that in 1975 as the Falcons completed their season with a 9-0 victory against Colorado College to finish with an 18-7 season record, the ever in Falcon tennis history. Skidmore led the trio with an impressive 19-4 record, while Sharp posted a 15-7 performance and Benson recorded a 12-10 record. Benson, who played his first Air Force ten-

most wins

nis at number four last season and posted a 14-8 record, pulled one of the biggest upsets of the season in winning a three-set match against Oregon earlier this season. Skidmore, who played number two last season and had a 13-10 record, is classified by

Gugat, “as a real hustler, and a performer who always gives 100 per cent on the court.” A junior this season, Skidmore again played mostly at the number two spot and won his last eight matches to produce the best record on the 1975 team. In doubles, Skidmore was paired with teammates Craig Naas and Sharp to win 14 of 21 matches, the best percen-

tage on the team.

Sharp is the only three-year letterman on the team and equalled his 15 match wins in 1974 as he closed out his 1975 season by winning his last four matches. In 1974, Sharp teamed with Benson to post an 11-2 doubles record, the best on the team, while this season he played with three teammates, the best being with Skidmore for a 7-2 record.

Team Captain: Jeff Sogard

Starting with last September’s second-place in the 17-team Rocky Mountain Invitational through the 18-team Sun Devil Invitational, the Air Force Academy golf team has turned in some excellent performances. The Gene Miranda-coached team competed in 10 tournaments, winning three, tying for first once and garnering three seconds in the process. The 1975 spring season also saw the Falcons complete a 10-0 dual meet record to stretch their twoseason dual meet winning streak to 12. Four of the first places came during the first annual Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Golf Association (RMIGA) tournaments which Air finish

won overall. In dual meets, Air Force’s closest match was an 11-7 victory over Western

Force

State, which finished second behind Air Force in the RMIGA series of tournaments.

Falcon team captain, Jeff Sogard, compiled the lowest competitive stroke average for the season, a 76.5. Sogard also placed second to team-

Chip Diehl, who had the lowest stroke average, a 74.9, in the RMIGA series of tourmate

naments.

Diehl, the Falcon’s only senior this season, recorded the lowest round of the season, a 69 in a RMIGA tournament hosted by Northern 174

Colorado.

Diehl finished the

season

with the

team’s second lowest stroke average, a 78.06.

Lacrosse also earned a national ranking with its 10-2 record. Besides golf, other Falcon teams earning regional titles were water polo, which won the national collegiate district seven playoff, lacrosse and rifle.

Individually, eight Falcon athletes won AllAmerica honors, headed by pistol’s Stan Siefke, who won a national individual title.

Patch History SQ Sweetheart The First squadron patch has its origin in the shield and

of the First FighterInterceptor Group. Black and

crest

green

were

the colors of the

Group when it was formed, and these colors are used on our

patch

now.

The

cross

represents one of the five major engagements the Group participated in during WWI. The Griffin is

our

own

addi-

tion, and symbolizes the quest for knowledge and honor. Most of all, our patch is indicative of our motto: “First takes care of its own.”

The

patch’s eternal tri-

angle represents both strength and tradition. Our military heritage is shown by the Roman IX and the Maltese Cross. The rattlesnake and the lightning bolts signify the alertness of the United States Air Force, its lethal power, and the speed with which it strikes when threatened. The saber signifies the cadet way of life, the chivalrous nature of an officer, and a willingness to take up arms to defend our

presents bring fine entertainment to USAFA in 1974-75. A wide variety of well-known groups and ensembles played to appreciative crowds of cadets and their guests. Music, comedy and drama were all welcome diversions from the academic and military routine. Musically, various styles were represented—from middle of the road to pop to soul. Among the more popular offerings were Jim Stafford, Kool and the Gang, Sha Na Na, the Carpenters, the Spinners and Tower of Power. In a more humorous vein, television’s Jimmy Walker amused cadet audiences during the Festival of Black Arts. Funnyman Bill Cosby returned to Arnold Hall amid the sound of laughter. Dramatically speaking, the 1974-75 season was a study in contrast. Shakespeare was presented in the form of his play “Henry IV, Part I”. Broadway appeared in the flesh in Tonywinner “Pippin,” a popular musical comedy. Allied

children’s hospitals, Head Start centers, and orphanages in the Colorado Springs and Denver areas to visit with the children. The event

usually includes

visit from Santa

Clause and gifts for the youngsters.

WING DING

The Wing Ding is an annual talent show held in

Arnold Hall to allow cadets to air their talents for

public approval

disapproval. Although the

audience may turn out to be somewhat appreciative the event always attracts a good turnout of musical and humorous acts.

tivities include dinner meetings and classes in rod building and fly tying.

chess, those members who persue it avidly feel well rewarded.

451

BLUEBARDS The Bluebards had a fantastic year. They opened with

the

smash

hit

“Godspell”

and

November. They played to a record audience of 4500 over the two

nights, and the show was well worth the

effort. The Officer in Charge, Captain Donald Scott, and assistant Officer in Charge, Captain Rick Vaughnes were kept busy answering the telephone for a week after the show, and C4C Jerry Sink, the lead actor, and C1C Michael Marro, the director, received compliments wherever they went. Then, on 4 and 5 March the fourthclassmen in the club presented “Plaza Suite,” an hilariously funny play by Neil Simon. This play was entirely produced by fourthclassmen, and, once again, the production was a smash hit. Finally, on 25 and 26 April the Bluebards presented “1984.” It was adapted from the novel by George Orwell and was a drama with a definite message about society. Everyone associated with the play learned a lot, especially since many of the members were in new jobs training for next year. At the present time, the Bluebards are selecting plays for next year. Under consideration are

“Greece” and “1776.” The outlook for the future is

bright. At right, Steve Duresky and Jerry Sink perform in Godspell.

FALCONERS Cadet Falconers train and care for the Academy mascots and conduct demonstrations at athletic events.

There are twelve cadets in the program, four from each of the upper three classes. It requires two to three hours per day, seven days per week to learn the art. Instruc-

provided by Dr. James McIntyre and the upperclass falconers. At far right, a cadet falconer shows an Academy mascot to Captain Micki King, Olympic diving champion.

The Auto Sports Club is open to all cadets. Second, Third, and Fourthclass cadets can sometimes borrow cars if they are willing to work on

other events.

The club also sponsors dinner

meetings, movies, and safety clinics.

FLYBYS Flybys at the noon meal formation provided motivation and inspiration to cadets interested in flying careers. At left, Evan McCombs of Colorado Springs was one of four pilot members of the Experimental Aircraft Association making a flyby at the Academy. McCombs flew his “Baby Ace” replica of a Fokker D8 which took him three years to build. Other pilots in the formation flying EAA biplanes were Bruce McCombs, J.D. McDonald and W. S. Christian.
