Penn State's "A" Rugby side
was handed its first defeat in four

14-8 in a game played in the sun
next to Beaver Stadium in
University Park, Pa.
Ron Pulliam played an
outstanding game for Virginia,
scoring three tries for 12 points,

two-point conversion to round out
the Wahoo scoring. The Lions

wing, while Kirt Kirtland was a
stickout at wing forward.
In the remainder of the Rugby
Club's weekend slate, W&L's "A"'s
tripped Virginia's "B"'s, and
Washington and Lee's "B"'s
knocked off Virginia's Blues, 7-4.
