Coach John Pont, who has a

after two unexcused absences from
practice, talked to the 10 boys
again yesterday at the request of
an unnamed black faculty mem-

Pont said, but he told the five
underclassmen in the group that nine blacks from its squad last

Michigan Ruby .. .
.-..Number One in the nation
ITS BEEN a long time since Michigan has been Number One
nationally in any sport. Last winter the Wolverines came
close in gymnastics but blew their chance for the nationals by
losing to Iowa, a team they had crunched during the season and
would clobber in the conference championship, by losing the
Big Ten preliminary meet that would decide representation in
the Championships in Seattle.
But now the University has a Number One team. It did not
rise from t he money crazed athletic department. Tens of thou-
sands of dollas did not go into building this national power.
There are no athletes on scholarship and no mad recruiting
scrambles to get them. Loot did not pour forth to obtain the
greatest living coaches (though they may have one anyway) and
equipment is sparse and compared to varsity sports it is non-
existent.
The Michigan Rugby Football Club is Number One in the
nation.
ThEY PAY MOST of their own expenses, including travel.
The athletic department is a bit stingy with funds for club sports
but this has failed to deter the ruggers. This year they sent
themselves to Toronto and are shelling out for a round trip bus
ride to Champaign tomorrow. Last Christmas, at their own ex-
pense again, the team toured the British Isles.
The athletic department spent over two million dollars last.
year and couldn't even get to Pasadena.
This season the Rugby Club's "A" team has gone 6-1, losing
only to the green meanies from East Lansing. In that one the
Spartans had the wind but more important Michigan lost two
players in the first five minutes, one knocked cold and the other
with a broken nose. You must, remember, too, that there are no
substitutions in rugby.
But the key victories this year have been against the Uni-
versity of Toronto and the Chicago Lions. The Canadians fell,
15-6, in one of the Club's great victories. Toronto had not lost
in North American competition for three years and had but 20
points scored on them all last season.
The Lions were the representative team in the Mid-West,
playing foreign teams touring the area. Earlier in the year they
toured England winning foir games, impressive for a touring
team.
The game against Chicago was a tough and bloody affair
with the Wolverines pulling out an 8-3 triumph. Two Michigan
men had their probosci clobbered but remained in the game.
Chicago was not so lucky as one of their men went down with a
broken collarbone, forcing the Lions to finish the game short-
handed.
The top spot claim, though, might be disputed by some
California newspapers as they put UCLA on top. Strangely
enough 17 other California clubs appear in this top 20. In the
18th slot is Wisconsin, dumped earlier in the season by Michi-
gan's "B" team. So much for that "POLL
CL IM PRESIDIENTl HARVEY SCILLER, though, feels
Number One cannot be decided as few of the top clubs play each
other. He looks at, besides Michigan, UCLO, the Old Blue Club
of New York and the Kansas City Blues, as the nation's top
teams.
"We're shooting at a national championship tournament,''
said Schiller, but also admitted that playing top flight competi-
tion throughout the season would be a 'better barometer.
"But the travel expenses are too much," continued Schiller.
"Our players already buy their own uniforms and pay dues be-
sides. We sell buttons, bumper stickers and T-shirts to pay bills
but none of this is enough to make long trips."
The real success of the club, though, is not its record but its
spirit. The ruggers play a game, not a business. Missing a prac-
tice is not the end of the world and training regulations are a
man's own business.
However, most of the ruggers train in the same manner.
They drink beer ater practices and after the games. The hone
team throws a party for the visitors and make a point of show-
ing them a good time.
And, win or lose, everybody shakes hands after the game.
Come to think of it, maybe the athletic department ought
to send the Rugby Club to California instead of the football
team. After all, they are Number One.

fy The Associated Press
DETROIT - The St. Louis
Blues continued to thrive on
their newfound power play last
night, scoring three times while
Detroit was shorthanded, to whip
the Red Wings 5-2 in a National
Hockey League game last night.
Rid Berenson scored his sixth
and seventh goals of the season,
one on a powver play, to lead the
Blues as they snapped Detroit's
four-game winning streak before
12.557 fans at Olympia Stadium.
St. Louis was ranked 11th in
the 12-team NHL in power play
goals last season, but the Blues
added Phil Goyette from N e w
York during the summer and the
slick 36-year-old center is paying
off.
GoyAte scored the game's first
goal on a power play, and assisted
on Berenson's first goal.
Goyette scored the game's first
goal on a power play, and as-
sisted on Berenson's first goal to
break a 1-1 tie and put the BluesE
ahead for keeps,
St. Louis now has scored 16
power play goals in j u s t 12,
games and leads the league.
The Blues also lead the Wes-
tern Division in the standings.
Goyette's goal and Beranson's
pair, 1 minute, 9 seconds apart,
gave St. Louis a 3-1 lead half-
Nvay into the first period.
Lar'y Keenans backhander on
another power play midway in the
second period made it 4-1 before
Garry Unger scored Detroit's se-
cond power play g o a 1 of the

Montreal's win combined with
Detroit's loss to St. Louis put the
