Fagan, executive secretary of the National Federation of State High School Associations, noted recently. In an interview in the October issue of The Christian Athlete magazine, Mr. Fagan was asked first what his overview of high school sports was and he answered : Our program is broader and deeper, with more youth participating than ever before. In World War II the number of sports per school was three. Today, with larger schools and more emphasis on individual sports, it is nine and up to 15 sports in some schools.

It marked the second time in three years that the honor had fallen upon the catcher of the Cincinnati Reds who, after a spectacular 1970 season which won him the MVP, went into an abysmal .238 hitting slump m 1971. Out of Shape Why do you feel people dont seem to care about winning? Mr. Fagan was asked. Our nation seems pervaded by an unwillingness to sacrifice, he replied. g Secondly, there has been a of the Jack Armstrong Philosophy. The Boy concept was a healthy thing. Thirdly, an increasing number of faculty members and school administrators have been criticizing sport as sport. Fourthly, the greater exposure of pro sports (which i&. entertainment, not education) has weakened interest in prep sports.

But, despite all this, there seemed to be a lessening of interest in athletes in the 1960s. I'm not certain young people wanted to compete and sacrifice then as they had several decades earlier.
