The USC Rugby Club defeated NC
State in a "grudge match" by the
score of 7-3 here Saturday.
The first 10 minutes started off
fast and furious as both teams had
excellent scoring drives but both
fell short of a score by inches.
Hard hitting and great defense
dominated the first half as neither
team gave up a try. Both teams
capitalized on the other teams mis
takes in the first half, though.
The first to capitalize were the
Gamecocks as Warren Muir hit on
a fifteen-yard penalty kick. This
three-point play came after NC
State went offside on the play.
A few minutes later Muir missed
another chance at a three-ooint pen
alty kick as his 45-yard try sailed
inches under the crossbar. USC's
Fred Holland was the next rugger
to come close to a score but fail.

Again the Carolina ruggers fell
inches short.
With a three-point lead and only
seconds left in the first half the
Gamecocks went offside and NC
State converted on a 23-yard pen
alty kick to knot the game at three
as the whistle blew to end the first
half of play.
After tying the game up at three
at the end of the first half a fired
up State team came out in the sec
ond half. They took the ball right
down the field. But this time it was
State's turn to fall inches short of
a score.
Again USC had a near miss for
a score. Warren Muir a former All
America in football at Carolina car
ried five people inches from a score.
After a good defensive stand the
USC ruggers marched down the
field showing excellent passing and
this time they were not to be denied
a score. Holland threw a pin-point

No man has been more of a factor
in developing USC's winning Rugby
club than has Dr. Jim Wynn.
Wynn started his Rugby career at
the Medical College of Virginia. "I
learned the fundamentals and
basics of the game from a very
knowledgeable coach from
Rhodesia and he can be credited
with making rugby a major part of
my life."
One of the most important parts
of Wynn's rugby career came about
in the spring of 1969. The Richmond
Rugby club which he was playing
for and captaining at this time won
the Carling Cup which is one of the
highest honors a rugby club in the
United States can obtain. Also, his
team beat the best team in the US
at this time, the Washington club,
11-8.
Wynn then came to USC as a pro
fessor in the Pharmacy College. He
started the wheels moving and got
a rugby team up for the winter sea

from almost all of them and made
an excellent game out of it." Dr. Jim
Clapper who was filling in for our
regular fullback Jim Henderson did
an excellent job as he stopped at

Chris Lee commented; "NC State

son. His first season was the only
losing season he has had at USC. He
posted a 3-4 mark but from then on
it has been improving. Wynn, a very
modest man, said that the people
that have come through the Univer
sity have been a major factor in
making Carolina a winning team.
