Crimson Battles Favored Tigers In Scrum Today

Harvard will be scrummaging as well as scrimmaging in Princeton today, as the Rugby Club does battle with a Tiger team rated as among the best in the nation.

Last week, the Crimson was beaten by the Boston Club 21-0, dropping its season record to 1-2-1. This includes a 21-0 shutout of Fordham, a 9-9 tie with Dartmouth, and a 12-5 loss to its traditional rival, the Harvard Business School.

Harvard has been hurt by the loss of last year's leading scorer, Sione Tupouniua, the barefoot marvel from the Tonga Islands. Tupouniua suffered a shoulder separation in the season's first practice, but should be ready to start against Brown in two weeks.

Sophomore Dick Domingue leads this year's team in scoring, followed by Bear Barnes and team in scoring, followed by Bear Barnes and team captain Paul Buddenhagen.

Each spring, the Club makes a playing tour of the East Coast. Club Secretary William Marzluff plans to include Jamaica on this year's itinerary.
