Missouri stuns confident Notre Dame

Some"How comes?"
about shaving, answered:

How come I can't get a close shave?
How come my chin and upper lip are
harder to shave?
How come I get a lot of irritation and
nicks?

Maybe you should take your
clothes off first. Showering
before you shave will soften your
beard even more. Lots of hot
water and soap is the key to a
better shave.
That's where whiskers grow the
most. Always shave there last.
The longer lather is on whiskers,
the softer they become.
Every stroke of your razor
scrapes away skin cells. So use
gentle strokes (and as few as
possible) in the direction your
beard grows. Never press too
hard with your razor.

The field was moistened from
the night long rain and the air
was still filled with moisture as
a steady drizzle pelted the al-
ready dampened real grass play-
ing field. Covering the air all
over South Bend on Friday night,
clouds were still prominent at
game time. By Saturday night it
was all over.
The rain had stopped and the
clouds had cleared, but it was
what happened during the dark-
ened weather that concerned
most people in and around South
Bend.
Friday night was a time of
celebration for the people con-
cerned with Notre Dame foot-
ball for Saturday they would have
one of their easiest contests of
the year and why should t b e
celebration wait? A Chicago Tri-
bune sports writer declared the
Notre Dame smashing of Missouri
as the biggest slaughter since the
Red Sea was parted and thous-
ands of Egyptian soldiers were
drowned. Yes, finally a midwes-
tern team would get back at all
the things the Big Eight had done
to them.
Who could argue with their
logic? Notre Dame went into the
game unbeaten in four tries.
Football pollsters around the na-
tion had decided that Notre Dame
had played with such quality
that they deserved being ranked
as the eighth best team in t he

country. The Fighting Irish had-
not played the toughest teoms
around but Michigan State and
Purdue are no push-overs. Both
teams certainly were better than
a Missouri club which had been
able to garner only two wins in
five tries. The week before the
Mizzou Tigers had been blown
off the field by Nebraska, 62-0
and certainly the Irish could
come close to that.
Game time came suddenly for
both teams as the Tigers could
no longer delay their defeat and
the Irish struggled to shake off
the effects of their Friday night
parties. The clouds grew darker
as the referee blew the whistle
to start the game, or slaughter,
the the case may be.
Tom Clements, Notre Dame's
star quarterback went back for
his first pass of the game. Inter-
cepted! Missouri's Bob Pankey
grabbed the ball and returned it
ten yards to the Notre Dame 46.
Big deal,"it will be easy to stop
them and then we'll score next
time we get the ball was the
general reaction of Notre Dame
diehards. But no, from the 46 it
took only 12 plays for the Mis-
sourians to score, with Leroy
Moss running in for the TD from
the 16 yard line.
This was heresy as the Tigers
were not supposed to score at all,
let alone take a lead. But back
came the Irish as Andy Huff
scored from the one capping a
66 yard drive, and all seemed
ready to go as planned. T h e
teams traded touchdowns again
with Don Johnson doing the non-
ors for Missouri and then the
Irish's John Cieszkowski plung-
ing over the goal line to once
again even the score.

It was getting somewhat ridi-
culous. Not only was Mizzou play-
ing even with Notre Dame but
doing so by scoring points against
a Irish defense that had al-
lowed only 30 total points in its
first four games.
Finally, it seemed, the Scene
was set for the Fighting Irish to
break the game open as they had
Missouri deep in their own ter-
ritory on the nine yard line. But
it was 17 plays later, with 69 se-
conds left in the half that once
again Mizzou's Johnson dived in-
to the endzone. It was 21-14 with
the Irish behind. They never
caught up.
As the third period started
Notre Dame was fighting for its
life. No longer would it try to
humiliate the Tigers, all they
wanted to do is win. But the

drizzle took over for Missouri as
every ball put into play was m -re
slippery than the one before it.
The struggling Irish, never in a
situation like this before, seemed
unable to cope with it; coughing
the ball up twice. Their defense,
however, solidified and they were
able to stop any Tigers from
crossing the goal line.
The Tigers weren't disappoint-
ed, though, as they penetrated
far enough to give the right foot
of Greg Hill a chance to go to
work. Both fumbles were turned
into field goals and when IIi I I
added another boot at the be-
ginning of the fourth quarter Mis-
souri had the lead they wanted.
The Fighting Irish lived up to
their name though late in the
game. It was either do or get
knocked way down in the p lls

and they had to do it. Notre
Da nme sz4ored twice in the fourth
quarter and with a two point
conversion after both they could
tie it. But both times the at-
tempt failed and the score stood
30-26. With just over two minutes
to go Irish fans were once more
given the hope that they could
go home with at least some dig-
nity. Notre Dame had the ball
and began driving. Intercepted!
Mike Fink picked off Clements
last pass of the game and it was
all over.
It was dark out and the rain
still came down. The field was
still soaked and would probably
stay that way until the next day's
sun could dry it off. The cloud
cover still hung heavy over the
area and the darkness was every-
where in South Bend.

Rugby1 is
By JANET McINTOSH
"Basically I play rugby for
fun. Of course winning is an im-
portant aspect of the game, but
the great thing about rugby is
that you can still lose and have
fun. Rugby is the only sport I
know of which puts such empha-
sis on a down-to-earth enjoyment
of the game." Speaking is scrum
half Cleland Child, one of the
outstanding athletes of the Michi-
gan Rugby Football Club.
Child's philosophy of rugby
typifies that of ruggers every-
where for whom the enjoyment
of playing hinges not on winning
but upon the good fellowship that

the first love of Child

exists between teams and play-
ers. As Child puts it, "The best
part of rugby is meeting people.
Rugby players have to rank as
the greatest bunch of fellows
anywhere."
There is no typical rugger.
Perhaps no other sport possesses
such a diverse cross section of
players. Ranging from social
workers to Chemistry TF's to
lawyers, meeting new ruggers is
always an unique and welcome
experience. All share a common
bond in their love of the sport.
At the party after every game,
(an old rugby tradition) the
bruises, tackles and cuts are for-
gotten as the two rival teams
forget their differences and ex-
hibit the sportsmanship and fel-
lowship that rugby is all about.
Ruggers have an old saying:
there are three halfs to a rugby
game, two played on the field
and the third at the party after-
wards.
Cleland Child first became in-
terested in rugby five years ago
during the time he was enrolled
in the Cambridge School of Wes-
ton. A former British Lion,
Frank Sykes, a friend and men-

to the budding young rugger was
instrumental in this period of
Child's rugby career.
But not until later when he
came to study at the University
of Michigan did he become ser-
iously interested in the sport.
Coached under the judicious eye
of Dr. John Robson, his prowess
as a rugby player increased.
As scrum half Child may be
compared to the quarterback of
American football. Situated be-
hind the scrum, he is responsi-
bile for calling the plays and di-
recting the energies of the team.
Possessed of speed, agility and
quick judgment, Child ranks as
one of the outstanding scrum
halfs in the midwest, his exper-
tise being a definite asset to the
Michigan Club.
An all - around athlete, Child
nurses other interests besides
that of rugby. Soccer, basket-
ball, and baseball keep the
scrum half in shape for the rug-
by season. Surprisingly enough
Child has neved played that close
cousin of rugby, football, stating,
"It's just too rough for me."
Although rugby is Child's first
love, he does occasionally take
time out from practice to indulge
in the arts and sciences.
He enjoys art, plays and good
music. A complex person he is
fond of cats and good literature
and is strongly interested in to-
day's political scene. Enrolled
in the School of Public Health,
he intends to pursue a career in
epidemiology.

Between HRP and the Democrats and Republicans
The record speaks for itself
Since April, when Nancy Wechsler and Jerry De Grieck were elected to City Council,
an incredible array of HRP legislation has been defeated by the Democratic-Repub-
lican bloc.
Our resolution to support the nationwide lettuce boycott was defeated 8 o 3.
Our efforts to slash top administrators salaries, among the highest in the country (the
City Administrator makes $38,000) were defeated 9 to 2.
Our resolution asking the federal government to investigate rent-freeze violations in
Ann Arbor was defeated 9 to 2.
Our attempt to expand the city's anti-strikebreaker ordinance (backed by local labor
unions) was defeated in favor of a nearly meaningless Democratic version 9 to 2.
Our package of antiwar legislation-including a resolution callingan end to aid to the
Thieu regime was defeated 9 to 2.
We have had several scccesses, most notably the $5 marijuana fine and an ordi-
nance prohibiting discrimination in housing and employment because of sexual
preference (i.e. homosexual, heterosexual), marital status (singles living together,
married, divorced) or educational association (student/non-student).
But these efforts have succeeded only because they represented ideas so ripe that
not even the Republicans and Democrats could ignore their constituency.
