Cavalier Ruggers Gather Round To Form Loose Serum In Action Against Baltimore Rugby Club Sunday; Both A, B, Teams Won

Ruggers Put Up Better Performance This Sunday Than Last, When Old Blue, Generally Recognized Supreme, Defeated Both Teams

The Virginia Rugby Club
defeated Baltimore, 11-5, on a cold,
windy Saturday afternoon. A
strong B team defeated Baltimore's
B, 14-6. The A team played
spiritedly in spite of the fact that a
number of players never made the
game. Pearson, MacKay, and
Robinson left for Baltimore early
Saturday morning and are still
missing. Waldron, MacCallum, and
Dalgleish travelled to Baltimore by
way of Madison College, West
Virginia, and a case of Budweiser,
and managed to arrive only two and
a half hours late, but added a beery
enthusiasm to the B team.

The game was a rough, hard
fought contest as Allan MacAllister
will attest. He played opposite a
fast 225 pound winger and had his
hands full all day. Larry Schwartz,
the Virginia fullback, made two
penalty kicks, one coming from the
30 yard line, just in from the right
sideline of the pitch with a 20 mph.
cross wind blowing.

Butch Dietler scored a try late
in the contest when he intercepted
a Baltimore pass, possibly the first
pass he has caught this year, and
ran through everyone for the score.
Schwartz added the conversion.

Tough Wick Williams and
Captain Jim Rollins played well in
the scrum as did newcomer Randy
Covington and Smilin' John
Ashton.

The B team dominated their
game, consistently driving at
Baltimore's goal with strong
running and fine scrum pursuit.
Henry Dudley was outstanding at
fly half, running well and driving
Baltimore back with well placed
kicks.

Ken Harris, Bill Hazelton, and
Dick Cross all ran well, while
George MacCallum, Jay Dagleish,
and Jack Wilson were outstanding
in the scrum. J.B. Trew made
several key blocks of Baltimore
kick attempts. Tries were scored by
MacCallum, Harris, Trew, and
Marty Millichap. Jim Nugent
managed one conversion in the
wind.
