hampionship at stake for ruggers
iBy GERARD A. O DONOVAN
|ie Texas A&M rugby club jour-
yed to Corpus Christi on Satur-
v and defeated the home side by a
ore of 33-3. This was the first
of the season for the Aggie
hite squad and it was also their
Ijial outing before the National
Bjurnament at LSU this weekend.
The Aggies showed sparkling
f(|rm, but the victory may prove
stly for them as they lost Greg
swell with a dislocated collarbone
d Craig Belew with a twisted
Me. Laswell will be out for the
[ason, but Belew hopes to perform
is weekend at Baton Rouge.
Corpus Christi played an excep-
mally strong first half against the
gies and trailed by only 6-3 at the
terval. All first half points were
from penalty kicks. Playing into a
strong wind in the first half the Ag
gies were slow to get underway and
in fact trailed 3-0 for most of the first
period. During that spell Corpus
Christi had a 2 to 1 advantage in
lineouts, winning 8 of 12 and were
unlucky not to have been further
ahead.
Meanwhile the forwards kept the
Ags in the game while the backs re
gained the poise of last semester. In
the first half, A&M pushed and
heeled magnificently, winning all 10
set scrums and eveiy loose ruck and
maul that came their way.
Mark Anthony and Billy Goodrich
had exceptional games. Craig Belew
was enjoying his best game in a long
time when he had to retire with an
ankle injury. Robert Moorman took
over at scrum half and the Aggies
had to play with one man shy.
The second half was vintage stuff.
Alan Jeffrey had his third penalty
goal of the afternoon before Billy
Goodrich broke through from a ruck
of players and scored wih a fine sec
ond effort to the right of the
goalposts. Jeffrey’s two point con
version was good as the purring Ag
gies led 15-3.
As it turned out, the avalanche
had only begun. Paul Rutledge, the
speedy left winger, broke tackles as
he dragged a Christian over for a
try. He came right back with a 35-
yard gallop for another tiy as A&M,
at 23-3, drew away.
With Moorman at scrum half, a
constant stream of overhand passes
reached the Aggie three quarters as
Jeffrey, Rich Stanfield and player-
coach Phil Cook shone brightly. It
was Moorman himself, who took a
beautiful pass from Jeffrey by way of
Cook, and scored despite a ferocious
tackle at the 10-yard line.

The final score was by club secre
tary Stanfield as he gingerly touched
it down between the posts for Jef
frey to close it out at 33-3.
The competition at Baton Rouge
will be very keen, but the present
Aggie squad is the most together of
any rugby squad since Roger Boos
introduced the friendly madness to
Aggieland.
It was Boos who took the Aggies
to Baton Rouge for their first Na
tional Championship and Coach
Phil Cook hopes for another this
weekend, if ‘Dame Fortune’ smiles
a little. The squad and followers
leave by Greyhound bus from the
MSC at noon on Friday.
