- hill state; The Texas A&M Rugby Club de-
be morejlated he Austin Huns by a score of
; as,” said|j( l-4 at the Main Drill Field on
of the tfi atunlay. It was the seventh win of
the comm) ,e season f° r the Aggie Whites
sidentsofsii l™ 54 one l° ss - The loss occurred
al afilars^ arlier in the season against the
tate Champion, Houston Hea-
assed witty. The Aggie Maroons, the A&M
b. 2 team was also a winner. The
e status! iaroons downed the Huns 17-0.
ln K thepreitm El^rut, Mike Gatens and Bill
N hearin each had a try for A&M and
ginning] Weiss connected on one con-
ersion and a 45-yard penalty kick.
1 a conjlittn AH °f the Aggie scoring took place
Sity Conuij ■ n tl 16 fi rs t half of the main event
d opera! M § ave A&M a 14-0 lead at the
ter deliveij! kerval. Phil Cook opened the scor
ing for the Whites going over near
the corner flag on a break after some
nice movement by the A&M backs.
The 2-point conversion was wide
from near the touchline. The Aggies
led 4-0.
The second try followed a loose
ruck. Robert Moorman saw Chuck
Martin breaking through in the cen
ter. Moorman tossed a quick pitch-
back and the Aggie fullback made no
mistake, going over between the
posts, after a 15-yard scamper. Alan
Jeffrey’s conversion was good and
the Ags led 10-0.
Phil Cook scored his second try of
the day just before half-time. Cook
lofted a 45-yarder to Garry Uwen.
He somehow managed to run under
his own kick after one bounce near
the 12-yard line and he scored un
touched between the uprights. The
conversion was no good. The
Whites led 14-0.
The second half was evenly
played. The Huns had the only
score on an unconverted try.
Outstanding players for the Ag
gies were Mike Frenzel and Mark
Anthony, who owned every lineout.
Paul Rutledge and speedster Greg
Las well shone in the backline.
This was another strong outing for
the improving Aggies who had beat
en the Dallas Rugby Club the
previous week 17-9. The Dallas
Club was No. 1 in the State until
suffering its first loss of the year to
the Aggies in a grudge match.
A&M travels to Houston this
weekend for the annual Houston
Tournament. The event will have 25
nation wide teams participating.
The Maroons will also take part in
the Houston tournament.
This has been an especially re
warding season for the Aggie Rug
gers. Employing a nice blend of ex
perience and youthful enthusiasm,
the Rugby team has operated on
character and desire. Last year’s
coach and perennial mentor Tony
King, have each left Aggieland.
The secret of its success is that the
Maroon squad consistently gives the
Whites a hard game in scrimmages.
As in the late 60s and early 70s,
when A&M was 84-4 over a four-
year period, the same Aggie spirit
returns.
Rugby is not a game for the
faint-hearted and Tuesday’s scrim
mage at the Main Drill Field was
typical of hard crisp quality rugby.
The Ruggers work out daily from 5-6
p.m. on Mondays through Thurs
days on the Main Drill Field.
Everyone is welcome.

AUSTIN — As amazing as it may
lem, the main attraction surround-
g the Texas Longhorns basketball
tam this season — at least for a
hile — will not be the never end-
one liners from Coach Abe Le-
It will be the building in which
Longhorns will play.
„ It’s called the Super Drum, it is
■'IncoHUM ‘' esome ln appearance and it will
ild more than 16,000 people.
And it has orange rugs on the
1, ’said Lemons. “That’s class —
on the wall.”
This will be Lemons’ second year
Texas and the new players there
represent his first major recruit-
Jg effort. And although the Texas
lach made a large splash by signing
ree freshmen and one junior col-
ge transfer from California, the
;ely first-night starters will all be
| niliar names.
Lemons’ current thinking is to
a lineup of 6-4 Ron Baxter, 6-7
Goodner, 6-1 Jim Krivacs, 6-0
ihn Moore and either 6-7 Phillip
jroud, the only newcomer in the
inch, or 6-5 Ovie Dotson.
When queried about his group of
jilifornia prospects. Lemons did
t sound enthusiastic.
1 think some of them have their
lings hurt,” he said. “They were
two hours behind on the West Coast
and they haven’t been able to pick
them up yet. They’ve been kind of
lackadasical.
“Next year I’m going to get some
players from the other coast.
“And the best of the California
group may not even play.”
He was referring to Henry
Johnson, a 6-6, 190-pounder who
has had a mysterious knee ailment.
Doctors cannot find anything wrong
with the knee, but it has continued
to bother Johnson.
“Guys put men on the moon, but
we can’t make Henry Johnson well, ”
said Lemons.
Texas was competitive all last sea
son, breaking even in conference
play and finishing fourth. But no
matter how well they do during the
early part of this season it will be the
coliseum that will get most of the
attention.
“We still have those three parking
places out front,” said Lemons, who
during the stadium’s construction
noted that he could find no more
than three spots to park a car near
the building.
“I would reserve them for the of
ficials if I though it would do any
good. I’m going to take my car down
there and leave it.”
The parking problems at the
stadium will be overcome — at least
in part — by utilizing government
