Rugger Duke, BY MARK IZARY Sports Writer The USC Rugby Club won their 27th straight home contest and brought their record on the season to 3-0 by defeating a very physical team from Duke University 22-0 Sunday afternoon. Nat Ewell one of the player coaches of the rugby team said of the roughness of the game, "The game was very rough because Duke had three varsity football players playing for their squad. When this happens the game usually turns into a slug-fest as it did today. The reason for this is that the football players don't understand the game and they are surprised by the rough ness of the game and they retaliate." Carolina had trouble getting on the board at the beginning of the game as Duke showed a strong defense in the opening ten minutes. The Blue Devils had two crucial goal-line stands in the first ten minutes of play. Jack Amy broke the ice for the Carolina club as he scored on a twenty-yard run. The two-point conversion was wide and Carolina led 4-0. Jim Wynn was next to tally for the Gamecocks.

Warren Muir added the two point conversion and the whistle sounded ending the half. Carolina led by the score of 10-0. Amy scored again for the second time of the day and this time the score came in an unusual way for the Carolina team. Amy placed a twenty-yard drop kick through the uprights for the three points. This was only the second drop kick con verted in the history of Carolina rugby. Warner Minshall scored the next try for the Carolina ruggers after Jim Elder got him into the open with an excellent lateral pass. Muir again added the conversion after the score. Nest, Muir vaulted into the fam ous few who have scored on drop kicks at Carolina as he too put the ball between the goal posts for a three-point score. This last score ended the game as the ruggers registered another shutout, 22-0. Player-coach Ewell commented on next weeks crucial game with NC State after the game , "We have been looking forward to this game ever since the controversial loss last season.

But for those who hate the idea of winning in such a fashion, they can be assured that the stall is rare and many more teams play a running offense, than do a slow, deliber ate type. It seems a foolish venture to employ sich rule changes to prevent the remote possibility of things that are unlikely to happen, especially when the rule changes are so poten tially dangerous to the complete game of basketball. The colleges now enjoy a national following in the sport of basketball that is at least equal to, or more than, that of their professional counterparts. Can college football or college baseball, two sports that play by almost identical standards to the pros, make the same claims? Still it seems as if the colleges are headed in the direction of adapting a clock, and sometime soon thereafter outlawing the zone. And that direction seems to be a poor one to head into; the game is good now, leave it as it is. Basketball Statistics Pyer G FG FT Rob. Avg. Pts. Avg.
