Hill Drake proudly displays the digit that reportedly nicked and deflected a last-minute field goal attempt by Washington. There was no word from the Athletic Department as to when the bandages will come off and reveal to the world the famous finger. Photos by Jerry Benterou Rugby team no longer just ‘kills the man with the ball’ Rugby can be one of the most confusing games to watch on the fields of American colleges. Bet ween the facts that a lot of players don’t even know all of the rules and that few Americans have the experience necessary to build plays into more than a quick act of “kill the man with the ball” most opportunities to enjoy the game are pretty well non existent At Oregon things are likely to be different this year. A Commonwealth back-line and an experienced front line may take the Ducks to an undefeated season. Certainly both coaches, Jim Lisle and Laurie Miller, are willing to predict that no American team will beat them and that the Canadian teams will at least know that they were in a very gixul game if they do not fall to the Webfoot as well Two of three Americanson that back line are John Flood and John Montagna, both strong players who show a great deal of potential and are com peting with a cagey Englishman, Jeff Summer for the two wing positions. Two of the strongest links are Ken Brown and Tony Evans who have both played on international teams in their pasts, Tony in Wales and Ken in Wales, New Zealand and Australia. The third American, Terry lx>gan, and Australian Ross Douglas finish out the scoring part of the team On the front line, which is responsible for getting the team into scoring position and keeping the other team from doing the same job, are several Americans and another Englishman, Chris Jones. The Americans are Dave McAdam, who was last year’s most improved player; Ryan Anderson, who captained the second team last year; Rick Craven, voted most outstanding forward last year; his brother Bob, who has also played the game in Australia; Scott Wintermute, who is billed as a strong eighty minute man; tough and fast Gary Hiliski and a good prospect from Michigan, Joel Tenoyer. Waiting in the wings are a number of players on the second team with nearly equal talent so, for a rare occasion, the team has a great deal of depth as well as ability. The team plays in the Northwest Intercollegiate Rugby Conference which they expect to win this year. Even more coveted than that first place though, is the Devine Cup which goes to the winner of the Oregon-Oregon State contests. Anyone interested in witnessing this action, which will debut on the practice football field this weekend, Coach Laurie Miller will be giving the play-by-play and explaining the rules over a sound system.
