Maryland, only undefeated and untied major college team Every coach, official and sports writer in the country will readily admit that the stress on winning or "winitis" is creating more harm in football than all the other combined ingredients cf limited substitution vs. two-platoon, injuries, etc.

Coach Jim Tatum's terrific Terrapins moved into the top spot tfter Iowa held Notre Dame to a their coaching jobs. It has buried a boy desire to love and learn the game.

It has so elevated the sport into an awesome niche that educators are seriously wondering if the cause is just. "Winitis" is the basic cause for the furor over the Albuquerque High-Highland decision though many will affirm that the reason rests with a questionable statistical resounding 14-14 tie Saturday, with the result that the Fighting pionsnip and the bowl bid more than an hour before the formal word was given. So the New Year's Day battle in Pasadena will pit the powerful offenses of the Spartans from the Big Ten against the great defenses and strong running game of the local Bruins. "I know you are glad that we get to play the best team from the Big Ten." coach Red Sanders told the cheering students who jammed a busy intersection with their victory demonstration. "If we work as hard for this game Irish dropped from the No.

Many years ago a now-retired coach said football's greatest contribution was to mold character in a boy to make a youth a man by physical contact, alertness, determination and sports-manship. Today, we believe these qualities are still existent but with them has come the desire for "win, win, win." It ha unfortunately o'ershadowed the other virtues. If there was a statistical error bv officials, it wa an honest one. 21-0. A week earlier the Terps as we did to get the Rose Bowl had thumped Mississippi, 38-0.

AHS Coach Pete McDavid advocated such a position to us three weeks ago and we endorsed the idea as did every sports scribe in the state. Oddly enough. Pete is now an innocent victim of the very problem he hoped to avoid. The likeable coach also believed that "football should be given back to the boys" and "winitis" stopped. The Bulldogs and McDavid will represent this city and the Western Division League against Roswell a strong eleven which dumped the Green and White 52-26 earlier this month.

They'll need all their horses to clip the Coyotes. If Duke City fans wish to see Albuquerque capture the first AA championship, it would be well to get on the Bulldog bandwagon. Knowing Highland mentor Hugh Hackett and his Hornet players, we imagine they'll pull for AHS the same as McDavid would be in the Hornet corner if the decision had gone the other way. When educators, coaches and officials sit down at the rules table this winter, it might be wise to devote a few minutes to ways and means of combatting "winitis."

Fritz Crisler of Michigan declared that "it might be well to consider the soundness of our present system of selecting a bowl candidate." Commissioner K.

L. (Tug) Wilson said that there ii "a feeling" among directors that machinery should be adopted making the Big Ten Rose Bowl team an automatic selection if there is a tie for the title. "In case of a title tie," said Guy Sundt of Wisconsin, "the Big Ten might eliminate the team that last went to the Rose Bowl. "For instance, if Purdue and Wisconsin should happen to tie for the title in 1954, Purdue would automatically get the bid because Wisconsin went a year ego. Such a plan certainly would simplify the situation." The Pacific Coast Conference has a selection'method similar to the one suggested by Sundt.
