finds itself in a more comfort-
able position. Two seasons agp
the, Air Force participated in a.
New Yer's Day Bowl gaine and
only' this week were thought to
n.erit a place: among. the Top;
Twenty.
Maybe one out of three ain't so
bad, but as contrasted with.
past accomplishr ients, 'the re-
cent athletic histories of Nagy'
and Army are not much better"
than a stubborn, case of trench-
foot. Certain causes, however,-,
might be cited for such a decline..
By reason of:their unique na-
ture, the academies inherently
possess a number of. disadvant-
ages.
Admission to the-academies is
limited by law because one must'
be nominated *':by a designated
public official, and only a pre-
scribed number of nominations
exist. Yet, like most schools, the
academies recruit feverishly.
Though such'a rigid quota
might seem: to hinder recruit-
ment, this has not proved a ma.
jor problem. The school 'h a v e
lost very few players, if.any,
for' failure to obtain a nomina-
tion. Because the majority of
nominations are distributed by
geographical:.-districts, difficul-
ties may arise 'in more populous
and competitive' districts; how-
ever, it is not too difficult to find
a nomination for a nathlete. At
West Point, an assistant athletic
director serves as a liason be-
tween the athletic department
and the officials empowered to.
nominate.
Alternate 'nominations are also.
available. These enable- thehd -'l
er to take the place of the prin-
cipal nominee should he choose
not to enter the school.
Once in the academy, the play-
ers generally remain. Most uni-
versities, including' the academ-
ies, experienced an attrition rate
of roughly 30 per cent. The teams
suffer a comparable premature
loss. Indeed, the Navy team
knows knows slightly less, loss
than the school as a whole.
Possibly the most prominent
cloud, in the estimation of many,,
is the stark fact of military ser-
vice. The traditions of the

Gridde Pickitigs
It could hardly be called a classic confrontation.
Neither team was ranked in the top twenty, although the quality
of talent on both sides had been' rather rank up to this point, the
final game of the season.
The sport was a combination of softball and guts frisbee,,and
no one had even invented a name for it yet, but none of that
mattered.
On the one side were the MOFO's, led by the incomprehnesible
Mr. Bag, a U-D electronics whiz. They faced 3rd Lote, captained by
(of course) Mr. Lote, a transfer from TCU. Other MOFO stars in-
cluded Michigan Dan, the Rote, T-Bag, Cro-Magnon Man, Ball Park
Frank, and Incognito Ermerito. Siding with 3rd Lote were Kong,
Testies, Beck (does the squat), Mistah Klein, Hank, and Seph
Mountie.
Then the crowd grew silent, and the teams lined up for the playing
of the Canadian National Anthem (on kazoos, of course).
But suddenly, all of 3rd Lote gathered around Lote and star-
ted 'chanting something like "Correct, Incorrect, I love life, . . ." And
the MOFOs' hopped into the Bagmobile and took off for Emblem,
Wyoming (population: 10). Would the games disintegrate?
