The LSU First 15 had not been defeated on their home ground for the last four years, and the Aggie Ruggers knew they were in for a battle to open the fall season. In the first game, the second 15-man teams of both universities met in Gerry Mander field. In a game marked by inexperience the Aggies came out ahead 12-10 with Ken Bucek, Art Saldana and Jim Cortez scoring for A&M. This set the field for the first team’s battle. The Aggies were immediately put on the defen sive by the brilliant kicking of the LSU fly-half. The strong play of the LSU team had a de fensive punt by John Gunn of A&M blocked in the Aggie end zone and LSU scored to lead 4-0 in the first minute. Coming back hard at the slow starting A&M team LSU soon was leading the somewhat startled Texas Cham pions by 17-0, but then the Aggie tenacity began to take effect’. Led by strong forward play, A&M began its late-starting at tack with Randy Harju breaking through to score, and LSU’s ear ly hopes of dominance began to fade. At the half the score stood at 17-13 with LSU ahead and A&M pressing. With the resumption of play the shoe was on the other foot as the superior conditioning of the A&M team began to tell. The brilliance of LSU seemed dulled and the Aggies with scores by George McCarroll, Randy Harju, Don Robertson and John Gunn went on to win 31-29, causing a very good LSU team much dis appointment. One thing marred these sport ing competitions, however. The Aggie ruggers, flush from their victories, entered Tiger Stadium to support the A&M football team only to hear an announcement over the intercom that LSU’s rugby team had beaten A&M’s rugby team 31-9, a completely false statement which cast a shadow on an otherwise great en counter. Next Saturday the Aggies’ 1 and 2 teams go to Austin to play Austin Gold and St. Edward’s Rugby Clubs respectively. The Aggies will play early so as to return for the A&M-Army foot ball game that night at Kyle Field.
