Ruggers Set for Rough Afternoon In Doubleheader

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

As a result of scheduling difficulties, the varsity ruggers will play two teams tomorrow, one of them the winner of the Easter Bermuda Championships.

The champs, a British Navy team known as the Wanderers, dealt the Crimson its only loss in Bermuda, this, a smashing 23 to 8 victory.

The Wanderers are stationed in Pensacola, Fia., and the only date they could fly up here for a return match was tomorrow. The Crimson is also scheduled to play the New York All Stars in the doubleheader.

The British Navy team has often been called one of "the best rugby teams in continental North American" by many of the sport's experts. However, Harvard did not make as bad a showing as its Bermuda score indicates, and it has a close to even chance to upset the strong Wanderers.

Much of the Wanderers' strength lies in their superb kicker, John Dook. Dook made a goal and three penalty goals against the Crimson. One of the penalty goals was a tremendous kick of 50 yards.

Crimson hopes rely heavily on Johnny Nichols and John McNamara, heavy men on the team, to provide the power to bust up the Wanderers' strong defense. Nichols, former varsity football captain, had never handled a rugby ball before the Bermuda trip, but has developed into one of the strong men on the Crimson ten.
