Ambulances? Beer? Hashumakes? No prisoners? Only one sport combines the four, Harvard rugby. And at the Eastern Collegiate Rugby Football Union Championships this weekend at Princeton, though the four elements were present, the Harvard rugby football club, plagued by injuries, was eliminated in the second round by a more aggressive Princeton squad, 24-0.
In a hard-fought battle with the University of Maryland in the first round of the two-day tournament, the top-seeded ruggers came from behind to score an impressive 24-13 victory.
