Looking for a science fiction short story, probably published in 1960's or 1970's. War has been formalized to a battle in a valley sized arena between two armies that is fought until only one soldier is left. That solder is called a "Winner" and he is immune from all laws for the rest of his life. The wars are televised. Final scene is the "Winner" breaking into the house of a big fan of watching the wars and walking up the stairs to where his daughter is... anyone remember it?
