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.

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 Heechwood Ageing.

Sports Editor 4 The 1970 edition ot USC baseball I will debut under new coach Bobby I Richardson tomorrow against I Furman at the Paladins diamond. I Senior Jimbo Smith has won the I nod on the mound for the Gamecocks. Smith has been a top pitcher for the last two years. The rest of the lineup is still not I complete. At first base last season's top hitter Buddy Caldwell returns after a knee operation. Caldwell is a long ball hitter who also hits for average. 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. Third base is being contested between junior Billy Petosky and freshman Bruce Pudlock. Petosky is back after sitting out a year wi pI ub plays F ID of season C infraction against UNC occured d about 2D yards from the goalpost, d Clasen said. f D.R.

Last year while )laying in the Dutch Fork semi-pro eague Petosky hit over .400 and was his club's only selection to )lay in the all-star game. Pudlock, )ig and strong, is a long ball hitter. In the outfield freshmen Jackie Brown and Howard Bar 'ield have nailed down the cente mnd left field spots, respectively, hile veterans Don Stanley and R,onnie Fulmer wage war for the 'ight field position. Brown, a former infielder, is a iwitch hitter with good speed. 3arfield, on football scholarship, ias good speed and is a good hitter. 3oth Stanley and Fulmer ster ast season but have been beaten )ut by the younger men.

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. gCampus Calendar Thesda.
