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.

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.
