15 RUGGERS WILL SAIL TO BERMUDA FOR TRIP

CAPTAIN CHANNING'S LEG KEEPS HIM FROM PLAYING

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Although many of the team will be unable to make the trip to Bermuda this spring, 15 members of the Rugby squad will sail Saturday from New York on the Queen of Bermuda for a series of three matches. Since so many of the first team will stay here because of finances or other plans, those going to Bermuda are merely a group of volunteers, not the Crimson rugby team.

The first match will be with the Bermuda Rugby Club, while on the second day a team, picked from Crimson and Princeton players, will oppose the club again. For the third and final contest of the trip, the Ruggers will face Princeton.

Unable to play because of a bad log, Captain Hayden Channing, Jr. '37 will nevertheless accompany the Crimson group as director. Peter H. Knapp '37, last year's veteran forward and captain of the Junior Varsity football team last fall, and Oscar Sutermeister '32, outstanding pole-vaulter four years ago, will be the mainstays of the forward line.

In the backfield, the Crimson will rely chiefly on two newcomers, Samuel D. Cockins 1B and Lawrence T. Profit sp., who played for the Bermuda Rugby Club last season.

Because of the scarcity of students able to make the trip this spring, it was indicated yesterday that the Bermuda series may be discontinued next year
