Move Over, 9 Rose-It's Aztec Time MEXICO CITY (UPU There's one college football bowl game which may attract the biggest crowd of them all, more than Rose Bowl, the Cotton Bowl and the Orange Bowl. 3j It's probably the least known to all, too. The Aztec Bowl today at the Aztec Stadium in Mexico City between Mesabi State Junior College of Virginia, and the Mexican College all-star team is expected to attract a sellout crowd of 112,000. The scene is the same sta-d i which hosted the World Cup soccer final earlier this year between Brazil and Italy with about 11000 r-crazed Mexicans cheering on the favored Brazilians.
Soccer is Mexico's national sport, but the fact that American football can draw equal to the world's No. 1 soccer event is a sign of the surging popularity of the sport in Mexico. The annual classic between Mexico's biggest icol-leges, the National Autonomous University of Mexico, whose teams go by the nickname "Pumas" and the National Polytechnic the "White Burros last Saturday at the Aztec Stadium drew more than 90,000.

"We've run on fourth down 26 times, sometimes from inside our own 20 and we've made it- 21 times. Weve got great confidence."
