Crimson Rugby Wins in Bermuda

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Harvard Rugby Club added two games to its victory skein in Bermuda last week, and came away the winner of the Inter-Collegiate Rugby Competition. After an exhibition loss to the Royal Canadian Navy team, the Crimson downed M.I.T. and Amherst to win the title.

The Canadian Navy won 3-0 as Ken Batchelor, a veteran of the Canadian profootball league, scored the only touchdown.

Against the less seasoned players of M.I.T., Harvard pushed over three touch downs and made a conversion, winning 11-0. The "three-quarters" or backs were spectacular. Ted Frembgen put Harvard into the lead in the second half, and Langy Kavaliku, Harvard's outstanding player, followed with two thirty yard touchdown runs, one on a pass from Hal Churchill. Graham Russell kicked the conversion. Getting excellent play from its relatively inexperienced forwards, Hank Keohane in particular, the Crimson edged Amherst in the final round, 3-0. Dave Holmes produced the winning tally on a 25 yard run. Capt. Churchill felt that, though most of the players were new to the game, the team has "good potential."

A team from Montreal will play the Crimson here Saturday.
