Although Alamo City is a club team (not restricted to college stu dents) and not one of the Aggies’ collegiate opponents, A&M player Mark Flinn said the Ags have a lot to prove in Saturday’s game. “Alamo City beat us in San An tonio last fall,” Flinn said. “We felt it was a very shabbily organized and refereed game. In fact, that referee is now under investiga tion.” But Flinn went on to say that Alamo City, who currently leads the club B-division of which the Aggies are a member, is not a team to be taken lightly. “They’re a very good team,” Flinn said. “It should be a helluva game.” The Aggies are hoping to re bound from a rather disappointing fall schedule to win both their club division and the collegiate division. Graduation of key players, the loss of their player-coach and inexperi ence in their front line were the main problems the Ags battled. “We have come along beauti fully (this semester),” Flinn said. “Mark Rhoades, our player-coach, returned after laying out a semes ter, and we’re really fit. We’ve really made a phenomenal turn around.” Flinn said barring any injuries to key players, the Ags should be well on their way to regaining the B-di vision championship. They fin ished in second place last year be hind the Shreveport club. Flinn said the rugby team trains on Monday evenings and holds regular practices Tuesday through Thursday at 5 p.m. No experience is necessary for anyone interested in playing. Saturday’s game starts at 1:30 p.m. and will be played on the rugby field behind the Zachry En gineering Building parking lot.
