...record of seven successful bowl games was going on the line against Pitt's hungry Panthers, but Bobby Dodd, professionally casual coach of Georgia Tech's unbeaten Yellow Jackets, saw no reason to get steamed up about his trip to Jacksonville for the 'Gator Bowl game last week. As usual, he let his boys horse around in practice; as usual, he promised them that all they had to do to win was play for the breaks and trust in Dodd...

At 36, the former Brown and Chicago Bear halfback star meets the age requirement; he is also popular with his players. Margarita was head coach at Georgetown before that school dropped football and has coached at Yale. But his five years on the Jordan staff may argue against his selection. In the past, coaches have come from the outside...
