Competition Can RPD Youths of Sports' Joy FOOTBALL CLASSIC Underdog All-Stars Prepare for Steelers MOSCOW, Idaho AP) Youngsters should not participate in highly competitive sports until they are 14 years old, sports psychologist Bruce Ogilvie said in an interview at the University of Idaho here. Parents often push their children into competition at an early age, he said.

Youngsters have sports skills, tney can choose to polish them when they reach 14, he said. Ogilvie is the author of "Problem Athletes and was a consultant to Olympic and professional sports teams. The University of California, San Jose, professor is lecturing this week at a workshop on coaching women sports at U-I. Ogilvie said that overstressing competition can rob some children of the joy of participating in sports. "I once interviewed the rookies in 10 major league baseball camps and 87 per cent of them said they wished they'd never played Little League baseball because it took the joy out of what had been a i can also exclude the ij nThat sports activities are sup- i to help, he said.

"The child who has a abilitv to handle failure and nas a low emotional" stability has a high probability of being excluded from sports programs for voungsters," he said. i OgHvie said he sees nothing but positive benefits from equalizing money and facilities men and women in atWetics. Bu be said that few women have been able to break through the culture barrier and really excel. Women suffer from a "success phobia a 5 fear of succeeding which is taught by society, he said. The success phobia can affect men as well as women Ogilvie said, because many people find tlrev cannot afford the cost of success.

"Not everyone likes a winner. Really only winners care for other winners. Hero worshippers are really waiting for their heroes to develop day feet and fall," he said. CHICAGO (AP) The All- Star football game, sidelined last year because of the National Football League players' strike, makes a comeback amid "pomp and pageantry Friday "night in Soldier Field. A squad of 55 collegians, including 21 players who were -first-round picks in the NFL draft, will challenge the champion Pittsburgh Steelers, 16-6 victors over the Minnesota Vikings in the Super Bowl last January.

John McKay of Southern California, who two years ago was criticized for his "country club" camp, will direct the collegians again. And once again McKay has run a light camp, with only pne-a-day workouts and limited physical contact. In recent years the All-Stars held con- troled scrimmages against the Chicago Bears, but McKay even ruled that out this year. "We're not going to scrimmage the Bears," said McKay, who also ruled out a meeting with the Bears two years ago. "We're getting ready to play the Steelers, not the Bears.

If the Bears want to play us, let them get into the game." In preparations two years ago, pro scouts were aghast as McKay put the All-Stars through one-a-day workouts and held contact to a minimum. He silenced his critics as the All-Stars put up on impressive performance before bowing to the Miami Dolphins 14-3. Larry Csonka scored touchdowns in the first and fourth quarters, in between the collegians their pro counter- parts. McKay is going through the same routine this time around. "One practice a day is all I can stand," he said.

In addition to the 21 first: round draft picks, the All-Stars have 11 members who were picked in the second round and 10 in the third. McKay said the 1975 squad "looks good" but it doesn't have as many "name players as we had two years ago. That team probably had more guys become regulars in their first year in the NFL than any other All-Star team." The All-Stars are 17-point underdogs against the Steelers in the game which will begin at 9:30 p.m., EDT, and will be televised nationally by ABC. The game always has been telex'ised locally but the spon- soring Chicago Tribune Charities this year announced it will not be on local television unless is is sold out 72 hours in advance. The All-Stars have not won since 1963, when a team coached by Otto Graham defeated the Green Bay Packers 20-17.

The professionals lead the series 29-9-2. While McKay concedes, "This game was not designed for the collegians to win because we'll be playing the game by profes- sional rules and it will be a group of veterans against a squad that has just been assembled," he sees some hope. McKay likes the looks of his linemen, both on offense and defense. Randy White, a defensive lineman from Maryland who was drafted No. by the Dallas Cowboys, "has impressed the coaching staff," said McKay.

Now, as he prepares to start his sophomore year at Notre Dame, MacAfee talks candidly about the pressures of the recruiting process: the campus tours, the eager young assistant coaches who used to camp on his doorstep, the rich alumni with $100 bills in their hands. doesn't even know what he wants. But whatever he says he wants, each school says it's the best."

(AP) Julie Harrington, 13, was one of the best tennis players in Inland Northwest junior ranks. The, in the middle of a slicing serve during a Yakima tournament this summer, she tore a tendon in her left elbow.

"I dropped my racket and started dying, it hurt so bad," Miss Harrington said. But she kept playing and won the junior girls' title 6-0, 6-1. Miss Harrinton was told that she needed surgery and that, after the cast was removed, she probably could not play tennis with her left arm again until she was 16. So now, she is playing with her right arm. Well enough, in fact, that she plans to enter the Inland Empire Tournament in August.

"Everyone teased me about it at first," she said. "I tried it and it was easy enough. The backhands are a little hard, but I'm working on it. I think I can do it." "I want to see how well I can do against the players I used to beat." Miss Harrington had won 13 trophies in less than two years- And her persistence at tennis is Riverside Gals Combine for Win If you plucked some names from a hat for a blind draw golf foursome, what would you have? If you drew Dixie Tuckett, Louis Colaianni, Moe Aldrich and Toots Kenega, you would have a winning combination. That foursome linked together to win last week's Riverside Women's Golf Association's "blind draw low net foursome" tournament.

Ms. Aldrich led the way with a 32, Ms. Tuckett has a 33, Ms. Colaianni posted a 36 and Ms. Kenega carded a 39 for a combined net score of 140.

Ruth Ashcroft topped the second nine medal play with a net 35. being rewarded in ways other than tournament success. Though she is not a member of what could be considered a tennis family, her father is providing the answer to her dreams, a court at home. She got involved in tennis almost by accident. "I wanted a horse earlier," she said.

"But I'm allergic to horses, and I'm hot allergic to tennis balls." As she learns to play tennis with her right arm, she finds here biggest problem is not coordination. "The biggest problem I have is to learn how to toss the ball on the serves with a cast on my arm," she said. "But I can do it--I tried it today." FORCED SWITCH--Julie Harrington of Spokane, was a top Northwest junior tennis player until she tore the tendon in her left elbow during a tournament this summer. Now she plans a comeback by switching the racquet to her right hand. Her major problem, she says, is tossing the ball up with her left to serve.

Steve Bartkowski of California and Steve Joachim of Temple are the quarterbacks with Bartkoski, Atlanta's No. 1 pick and the first player chosen in the draft, probably getting the starting assignment. Larry Burlon of Purdue, Emmett Edwards of Kansas and Pete Demmerle of Notre Dame are among the wide receivers. "You can't win without a running game," said McKay, who has some of the nation's premier runners in Walter Payton of Jackson State, Louis Carter of Maryland, Don Hardeman of Texas AI, Stan Winfrey of Arkansas State and Harold Henson of Ohio State.

Insulate Your Home and Save Money CALL FOR FREE ESTIMATE 232-3 I 56 Tide Family DETERGENT a mature young man who seems to have survived the pressures oi high- powered recruiting better than most, concedes that at times he took advantage of the system. "I went on about four campus trips to schools which 1 pretty well knew I wouldn't be considering," he said. "I have a sister at Colorado, so 1 went out there.

I had never been to the Atlanta area, so I went down to visit Georgia Tech. I heard North Carolina had a nice campus, so I went to Chapel Hill. The other was Boston College, even though I knew I didn't want to stay in New England." What were recruiting trips like? "You'd go out on a Friday afternoon and come back on Sunday. Uusally an assistant coach would meet you and the airport and drive you to the campus, where he'd pass you along to your host, a guy on the team who would escort you around for the weekend. "He'd take you to dinner and then maybe a party Friday night, or he'd arrange a date.

They fix you up with a girl who'll do what you want when you visit there, and then tell you that she'll be there next year when you enroll. "One school, which I'd rather not name, sent out eight girls to meet me at the airport. Then, as we were leaving, all of a sudden a coach drove by, trying to act surprised. "Some kids really took advantage of these trips. Some guys would take two weeks off from school and just go on a tour of an area, like the West Coast.

They would start out at UCLA and Southern Cal, then work their way up through Oregon and Washington. Now that's pretty absurd." During MacAfee's senior year at Mass. High School. Ihe colleges still in the running stepped up their efforts. "One head coach came to my home six times, and an assistant of his saw me three limes a week, either at home or at school.

It got to be a pain. That January I was getting 25 or 30 phone calls a night from coaches and recruiters. Every time someone else would call, my mother would just go crazy. It reached the point where 1 would go to the library, or anyplace, just to stay away from the phone. It's awfully hard to say no to these guys.

"One school sent me a petition with over 30,000 names; it said were students wanting me lo come to Dial school. 1 mean, that's ridiculous." LEAN TENDER PORK STEAK Lb.
