Ruggers win fourth BY MARK LEARY Sports Writer The Carolina Rugby Club in creased their winning streak at home to 18 games coming from behind to defeat North Carolina 9-6 with only five minutes left in the game. Carolina jumped out to a quick lead in the first half as Dr. Frank Walton booted a 30-yard penalty kick to make the score 3-0. Halfway through the first half, one of Carolina's three player coaches was put out of the game. Dr. Jim Wynn came out of the game with a five-stitch cut over the eye. The rest of the game Carolina played a man down, as there is no substitution in Rugby. Walton, one of the player coaches, said of the loss of Wynn, "Jim is the stabelizing influence of the team and it hurt us when he was put out of the game. When you lose one of your main halfbacks it hurts your rhythmn and ball handling." Carolina held on, even though North Carolina had the man ad vantage, as they maintained their lead at the half. North Carolina took the lead with ten minutes gone in the second half. The momentum now was (See RUGGERS. Page I I ) wrong side of a wide-open Mike Haggard. Any hopes of a Carolina victory that the 14-8 scoreboard tally may have given USC fans were soon crushed as Hitchens and company marched downfield in just four minutes to close out the game's scoring. Hitchens, who gained 61 yards on eight straight carries in the drive, was denied his third touchdown of the affair only because he sustained an injury on the Carolina eight yard line. Dean Harmony subbed for Hitchens and imitated the back's ability to get into the end zone as he slashed in from four yards out. All in all, the Ilitchen's-led Redskins consistently pushed the USC defense up and down the field, while USC's offense failed to mount Math Tutor Highly Qualified Reasonable Rates 782-0972 NOW SERVINC BREAKF/ 7:30-9:3 COLLEGE & SIJMTEF ROBERT DALRYMPLE ...Director of Intramurals.

Schaper was leading the race when he turned his ankle on a sofI spot on Clemson's five mile, 800 yard course. He limped in to finisl second, ending his three-meel undefeated streak. "We don't think it is broken,' USC coach Bill McClure said of Schaper's injury. "We're going tc have X-rays taken Monday and we'll know for sure."

"There's no common ground to work with, and it's hard to convince your team that they are for real. The fact that they've played out of their league for one big game every year and beat them doesn't convince anyone. "Maybe it's because we had nc common foes to work with, commented Dietzel. This coming week, USC will meet an opponent who has shared common opponents for years wher they face the Wolfpack of North Carolina State. If common foes are the criteria for game preparation, then there will be no excuses this week, but it's hard to say that thc outcome will be any different. PART TIME WORK.
