Tradition, Color Distinguish Rugby 4w EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first part of a three-part story on the Michigan Rugby Football Club. Phil Brown is a Daily sports night editor; Dave Mildner isna graduate of Oxford University in England, and serves as manager of the club. C.N. By DAVE MILDNER and PHIL BROWN The origin of rugby football is traditionally traced to Rugby College, an English school, and to William Ellis Webb, a soccer- playing student. It was in 1823 that young Webb, panicked by a tie-game-with- time-running-out situation, pick- ed up the ball and ran, winning the contest. There was no rule forbidding such any act at that time, but the effect of Webb's stunt was dramatic enough to result in the conception of a com- pletely new game. Soccer became a strictly no- hands sport, while rugby, named after the school, was founded with ball-carrying as a basic prin- ciple. By 1870, colleges in the United States had begun playing rugby football, although there were numerous versions of the game.

Yale played Eton, another Eng- lish school, sometime during the 1870's, and liked the British form enough to alter its own. This be- came a third 'standard' form of 'football.' When Harvard met McGill Col-I lege, from Montreal, the teams played so differently that a game seemed quite impossible. It was agreed that both teams would use the Harvard version, and the Crimson won easily. The follow- ing year the two schools played in Montreal, used the McGill ver- sion, and the Canadians tri- umphed. The two games pointed out the great gap which was opening up between the American and Euro- pean sports. A meeting in Spring- field, Mass., in 1886, resolved the question by setting up a uniform code for the American game. The game was essentially rugby, but was altered enough to become the modern game of football.- While the United States was highly receptive to the new sport, Europe, and especially England, KEEP AHEAD OF YOUR HAIR 0 NO WAITING P 8 BARBERS " OPEN 6 DAYS The Dascola Barbers t Near the Michigan Theatre was content with the more tra- ditional game. Although Ameri- can football has never found much popularity on the Conti- nent. Europeans are making a concerted effort to bring rugby to the States. In 1959 the Ann Arbor Cricket and Sporting Club was invited by UCLA to play in a tournament on the West Coast. The club had never tried rugby, but under the enthusiastic leadership of Bert Sugar learned the rudiments of the game and made the trip. Champions of What? Billing themselves as the 'Champions of the Midwest' they headed for the Golden West. Six thousand people saw Mich- igan lose to UCLA. 9-0 in the Los Angeles Coliseum. Although the loss was disappointing, the club's members decided that rugby of- fered everything they wanted in athletic competition and social activity, and adopted the sport unanimously. The Michigan Rugby Football Club was an outgrowth of the trip to California. Its founding members included Sugar, Francis Goodman, 'a former All-American quarterback from Purdue, and John Neihuss, son of University vice-president Marvin Neihuss. Law School The greatest part of the club was made up of Law School stu- dents, former football players, and a handful of beer-drinking colonialists who taught the Ameri- cans the game's finer points. In the early years, the club took frequent trips to Toronto, where they were entertained by RUGBY IS KICKS the Nomads, an iAdependent team made up of Toronto students and ex-ruggers living in the city. Though they resulted in far more losses than wins, the trips served tosestablish a groundwork for club activities in later years. Bob Nichols,=an expatriate Aus- tralian and former president of the club, summarized those early years this way: "No one was ar- rested, and there were no ugly scenes, but just a hell of a lot of drinking-" The club's founding members thought it important that the game's social tradition be pre- served while the quality of rugby played was being continually im- proved. This tradition goes back to the game's earliest years, when a keg of beer was brought onto the field after a match and members of opposing teams met and chatted over cold mugs of draft. Nuts to the Law Drinking laws prevent sucha practice in Michigan, but the custom is still observed after a fashion. Members old enough to indulge legally head for a local tavern for supper and post-game refresh- ment. An evening party gives the entire club a chance to meet with plenty of brew and the company of the visiting team. It is important that players work well together for a team to enjoy any measure of success, since play is spontaneous, and without set plays. Each member must be able to anticipate a teammate's actions before they occur. A rugby club is far more than just a team; it's a fraternity.

The Illini gridders decided he was the dirtiest player in the Big Ten after their 1965 clash with the Wol- verines. Red flags and robberies (of passes, that is) were the trade- marks of his sophomore year. Often reacting to rather than instigating an incident, Volk once explained what happened in that Illinois game that earned him their ire. "I was running back a punt, and the defender' knocked me out of bounds. We were both lying there, the whistle had blown, and he rolled me over just for the hell of it." Volk retaliated with an elbow to the defender's mouth, as they both rose to their feet. The official, standing, five yards away, pulled out his red bandana, and Michigan was assessed a 15-yard penalty. One scene in his collegiate career stands out from the rest in my mind, though. In the middle of the tight Purdue game last year, Volk stood apart on the sidelines while the Michigan offensive unit, saw action . . . doing jumping jacks. Rick couldn't tolerate not being in the fray. An electron should have this energy. He was dedicated to a game, and the game was his life. He had the hopes, the fears, the ego, the individualism of all the rest of us, and something more. He was never satisfied. Rick may have a crack at NFL Rookie-of-the-Year this sea- son. I'm convinced his attitude is one of the big reasons, a "typ- ical jock" attitude. And he's dedicated to a game. If only some "players" in other fields had some "typical jock' drive. _____ 4 Hughes announces new openings on, the TECHNICAL STAFF.
