A although its record and its National ranking indicate otherwise the air Force Academy is no football factory. The players practice time is severely limited by classes few rival coaches Covel them and a five year military commit ment after graduation takes care of professional aspirations.  the practice of stockpiling Talent by keeping a player out for a year is unheard of Here. Undersized and Over matched week after week the air Force Academy nonetheless has carved out ii 31-11 record in the last 3" seasons doing it with a lot of intangibles old fashioned values like unselfishness discipline and perseverance. There s no shortage of the right stuff on this sprawling Foothills Complex. I think the key for us in turning around this program is the attitude of our players the Way they feel about each other said head coach Fisher do Berry who arrived at the Academy As an assistant at the end of eight losing seasons in 1981. We be been Able to develop a family atmosphere Here. We be got a lot of unselfish people. We be fostered a total team concept. 1 Don t think our players give a rip who gets the credit. There s no t in the word team " col. John Clune the Academy s athletic director agrees. These kids really believe in themselves and one another he said. They love each other. They re not worried about individual accomplishments because none of them is going into pro football. One of my favorite players on this team is backup quarterback Brian Knorr. Brian sits there and roots for starter Bart Weiss. It s very obvious. He genuinely rejoices in everything Bart  linebacker Pat Malackowski said we re a family Oul on the Field. We know we can t win if we Don t play with intensity and a lot of heart. We re All Good friends. There s no me Altitude. That s the personality of this  it was t always this Way. In the aftermath of the Vietnam War the service academies suffered image problems and were unable to recruit effectively. The Falcons routinely had records of 2-9, 2-8-1 and 3-8 in the mid to late-1970s. Gradually that turned around. Former coach Ken Hatfield now at Arkansas needed four seasons to produce a Winner cracking through with an 8-5 Campaign in 1982. The next year the Falcons were 10-2, then 8-4.  of those three winning campaigns was capped by a bowl Victory. Heading into saturday s game at Navy the Falcons arc 5-0 and ranked 13th in the nation. Last week the Falcons beat notre Dame for the fourth year in a Row. Everything has come log Lucr for us said Clune. We be been Able to recruit better athletes for a number of reasons. Vietnam is dead and gone. The country is a Little More patriotic and i think More Young people today arc conservative and arc worried about their futures. We be worked a Little harder on our recruiting. We be got two computers and six people working full time who Contact High school coaches across the country. The 30-scholarship limit has helped us. We re getting the athlete who has Talent but was passed Over by another school be cause they ran out of scholarships. Well never get the great athlete unless he just wants to Fly. Napoleon Mccallum went to Navy Only because he wants to be an astronaut. Well never get the 6-5, 265-Pound lineman who runs a 4.6 in the 40. But we May get six linemen who Are 6-4 and 200. Maniac Gastineau too rough bengals say Cincinnati up Cincinnati bengals general manager Paul Brown says new York Juls defensive end Mark Gastineau should have been kicked out of last sunday s game. Bengals quarterback Boomer Esiason knocked out of the game by Gastineau called Gastineau a  Gastineau was flagged three times for unnecessary roughness in the jets 29-20 win Over the bengals. How Many unnecessary roughness penalties do you think a player should be Al Lowed before he s thrown Oul of a game asked Brown. There s no question that he should have been out of the game. On one play Gastineau quickly jumped offside raced to Esiason and delivered a jolting tackle that knocked Esiason Oul of the game. He Hurt me pretty bad when he jumped offside and creamed me said Esiason. But i knew i had to get up and leave the Field on my own. There was no Way i was going to let them carry me off while thai maniac was out there doing a sack dance. You can t deny thai being Nasty is part of what has made Gastineau a great player in this league. He makes the offence compensate for his presence. He obviously does l get unduly penalized for the Way he plays and his fellow players Reward him every year Wilh a trip to the pro bowl. The Guy obviously in t stupid he knows How to get noticed said Esiason. But to me there s a Fine line Between being a great player with class and being a great player who s a  some Cincinnati fans wondered Why the huge bengals offensive linemen did t Reta Liate against Gastineau. You want to do something but you re con stantly taught not to hit Back because the officials always seem to notice the Guy who retaliates said guard Max Montoya. You have to weigh whether it s Worth getting a penalty or being thrown out of the  but after being blasted by the jets some of the bengals May gel tougher. I think some of us Are reaching the Point where we feel we have no Choice bul to play More aggressively said Montoya
