Rugby Cl
last game
The Rugby Club will play what
may be their last home game of the
spring season this Saturday at 2
against N. C. State on intramural
field B.
Rugger Jack Claser said the
rugby team will definitely work
hard to beat the Wolfpack.
"They're good," Claser admitted,
adding that the Duke squad which
beat USC, 17-10, was the best team
they'd played all season.
The rugby team lost to the
University of North Carolina
Saturday, 8-3, in Chapel Hill. The
Tar Heels put together a successful
penalty kick, a try and a con
vers ion against one try for USC.
The penalty kick came on an
offs ides c all, Clasen said. In rugby
a player kicking the ball must
either touch the ball next himself
or a player who was behind him
when he kicked the ball must touch
it next.
If a player who was in front of
the k icker when he kicked the ball
is the next person to touch the ball,
a offsides penalty is called.
The opposing team then has the
option to either run the ball, with
the offending team stationed 10
yards back, or to kick the ball
through the uprights in football
field goal fashion.
The option depends on the point
of the infraction. If the infraction
occurs within kicking range, the
team with the option will kick. The

eechwood strips offer extra
irea for tiny yeast particles
to cling to, helping clarify
the beer. And since these
strips are also porous, they
help absorb beer's natural
"edge," giving Budweiser
its finished taste. Or in other
words, "a taste, a smooth
ness and a drinkability you
will find in no other beer at
any price."
Ah yes, drinkability. That's
what's so special about

At first base last season's top

after a knee operation. Caldwell is
a long ball hitter who also hits for

A real battle has developed at I
second base between outstanding
freshman Tommy Moody and a I
veteran from last year, Gregg
Wof rey. Moody has had the edge
lately and seems likely to start at
Furman. Moody, a A. C. Flora
graduate, turned down a half
scholarship offer from Clemson to
play at USC. He is a sure fielder
with a knack for getting on base.
Junior Butch Anderson has the
shortstop job sewn up af ter a year
at third for the Carolina varsity.
Anderson is a high average hitter
who is capable of giving the ball a
long ride. A former American
Legion Player of the Year, An
derson has had several feelers
from the pro scouting ranks.

MOUTH
Of the
SOUTH
Frank McGuire is the loudest and most vehement critic
of the Atlantic Coast Conference basketball tournament as
a means of determining the basketball championship. But
he is by no means the sole critic. Most of his coaching
colleagues--even those consistent losers to whose ad
vantage the tournament works--agree that the regualr
season champion should go on to the NCAA glories.
Certainly I can see and understand the feelings of the
coaches which are expressed in such fiery tones by the
Fighting Irishman. Yet, the tournament is a great sports
event which captures the imagination of countless fans,
and more important, it makes a barrel of money.
Now, of course, the ACC has so much money in its
treasury that the members are never assessed anything to
belong anymore. On the contrary there is a split of the
swag every now and then. Really, then, the conference no
longer requires the revenue from the tournament to
operate successfully. Too, the tournament causes all sorts
of headaches and problems because there are simply not
enough seats anywhere to accommodate all those who
want to see it. Not even enough for the folks who put up the
heavy sugar to help secure ball players. There are many
compelling arguments that tend to sway reason against
the playing of the tournament.
Granted that it is unfair, unnecessary and troublesome,
it is still the premier event of the whole year as far as in -
terest is concerned. If the coaches want to play big time
and they do--then they have to consider the fans whose
interest makes it all big time. Fans like the tournament
because it does-giveseven clubs a second chance. Playing
the tournament, without the aspect of championship would
be a sterile as playing tennis with no strings in the
racquet. Playing at Christmas would be rediculous; better
to revive the Dixie Classic.
The world of sports is replete with precedents for such a
tournament. In baseball, for instance, each division and .
then each league must hold playoffs before the .World
Series entrants are determined. The same is true in
professional football. It does not necessarily follow that the
team with the best regular season season record will
scoop up the post season goodies. You must be able to win
when the chips are down.
McGuire merely repeats what every other coach con
tends when he says giving a team a third chance to beat
you after Iwo regular season games is inviting the un
derdog to triumph. He believes this, and so do most of his
contemporaries. But I really wonder if a team is likely to
win a third game more than say a second or a f ifth.
The fact is that the ACC is likely to continue its tour
nament for a long time to come. To disapprove is natural
for the coac h who feels he is lik el y t o see a whole season o f
success negated by one slip up in post season play. But to
discontinue the tournament would be to lessen the interest
df fans.
More people, remember, are interested in the seven
clubs which are not winning the regular season title than
are interested in the front runner. The tournament keeps
the interest high all over the league.
Important: Major contributors to the athletic
scholarship funds are encouraged to dump bigger bundles
because they can buy tickets to the basketball tour
nament. Whether it is a palatable pill or not, nobody can
gainsay the fact that money is vital to athletic success, and
nothing will likely be done to unsettle the generosity of the
big, cheerful givers.
