!EN THE MICHIGAN DAILY T GBY, SOCCER, SHOOT ING, SKIING, SAILING: Non-Varsity Sports, Clubs Vary Campus Life on Land ESDAY, AUGUI Sea By TOM WEINBERG and PERRY HOOD quarter-million dollars is put 'y the Board in Control of ollegiate Athletics for rugby cer players, for rifle and pis- looters, for sailors or skiers, ret these non-varsity sports go on in their seasons at gan. the fall the rugby team takes eld-Wines Field, that is. The composed mostly of gradu- udents, law students and for- C, eign students, plays a regular schedule of games with teams mostly from Canada. Just as Rough The rugby games are as rough as football, with very similar ac- tion to American football. It is played on a football field with a blown-up ball which looks like a soft watermelon. To score, the linemen; who com- prise 8 of the 15 players, pass the ball back to the backs. With a con- tinuous action, stopping only for penalties, they move the ball over the goal line of the opponents. The games are played at 3:30 on Saturdays, and it doesn't cost anything to stop in and see the second half on the way home from a football game at the Stadium. Interest Arouised A newly-formed organization at Michigan is the Michigan Ameri- can Soccer Club. The group started play twu years ago and has com- peted in the International Center's league the past two years. Last year the team took steps to have soccer adopted as a var- sity sport. The movement was basically unsuccessful, but a great deal of interest was stirred up, and this year the team intends to try again, but on a larger scale. The team has compiled an over- all two-year record of five wins and seven losses against teams composed of soccer players from abroad. Recruiting_ and practice will begin during registration this year, so the team will be in top condition for its seven-game schedule. A feature of this year's schedule is the proposed two garfles with a foreign teams at Eastern Michigan. Need Shooters For those who can't make the basketball team at Michigan, the pistol and rifle teams are seeking accurate shooters. The club aims to teach the objectives of playing with firearms and to compete both on the campus and around the nation. There is an annual competition at the ROTC rifle range in May. In addition the team competes with other Big Ten teams. The whole shooting match is sponsored by the team itself, and last year it was, along with the wrestling, gymnastics, andtrack teams, a Big Ten champion. The fencing club is. relatively new and is still hoping to attract some new members. Two of the non-varsity sports which are especially of interest to women are the sailing and skiing clubs. The ski club takes weekend trips to the snowy regions of Mich- igan. The enthusiasts can take their semester break or spring vacation and travel to Quebec or Colorado with the skiers. The ski club offers the latest information on rates of ski mer- chandise, movies on instruction in the fast-growing sport and other programs of interest to the ad- vanced and beginning skier. Lots of Sailors The saling club is one of the largest of the non-varsity sports and boasts over 100 members, both novice and experienced. The club has eight sailboats at its headquarters at Base Lake, 20 miles from Ann Arbor. At weekly meetings on the cam- pus members discuss various as- pects of the sport and decide on matters of importance to the club. There is competition in regattas all over the country, and many Michigan representatives have earned national or regional titles in past years. 1f r N I , Welcome! TNERE IS vrs DEA .
