Rugby Club Shows
By BILL LEVIS
Did you ever wonder as you
walked your girl home after a
Michigan football game, what 30
guys were doing on Wines field
running back and forth chasing
a ball that resembles the American
pigskin.
Those 30 guys are playing rugby,
a sport that has been organized
as a club for eight years on the
Michigan campus. Played like a
combination of soccer and foot-
ball, Rugby is the game to which
American football owes its origin.
Rugby is a game that has been
steadily growing in popularity in
the United States over the last
decade. Al McLean, Michigan rug-
by club president, noted that owly
six schools had teams in the East
in 1959. This number has sharply
increased to 53 this year.
Iron Man's Sport'
Rugby can be described as a
continous football game with no
blocking and forward passing. It
is played between teams of 15 men
each with no substitution and vir-
tually no time-outs for two 35 or
40 minute halves. Played on a 100-
yard field slightly wider than a
football field, the principle method
of scoring is the "try" touchdown
in which the ball has actually to
be touched down in the end-zone
to count.
A try counts three points while
a conversion counts two, made by
place-kicking the ball between the
uprights of the goal posts. The
kick is taken from a point opposite
where the try is scored. A drop-
kick made during play which pass-
es- through the uprights also
counts three points but no con-
version attempt follows a drop-
kick.
The emphasis of rugby is on
stamina and quick thinking rather
than speed, size and ability to exe-
cute rehearsed plays. No padding
or helmets are allowed. The 'ball
is oval, somethting like an over-
sized or 1900 vintage football.
The Michigan club, which gets
financial help from Michigan In-
tramurals in the form of niforms,
is a member of the Southwest On-
tario Rugby Union. Michigan won
the league championship last year
with a 6-3 sudden death -vertime
win over Sarnia. Earlier, the club even said that many

Take heart. Take a dime.

Suddenly it's in

You tear off to a
