Ruggers work to defend crown

And, as in football, a team must function as a unit to win.
The University of Kansas Rugby Club plays its unit. And the ruggers have had good results.
"Each game, we play more and more like a team," KU coach Joe Kieltka said. "We started out the year a little shaky, but we're getting better each time out."
SUCH WAS THE case last Sunday when the KU ruggers won the initial First Lady of Kansas Cup, downing the Kansas State University Rugby Club, 17-7, at Manhattan.
The cup, presented by Olivia Bennett, wife of Gov. Robert Bennett, will annually go to the winner of the KU-K-State rugby match.
The ruggers are also the Big Eight champions, and they will defend their title.
"We've got a real good team," Keltyla said. "But so do a lot of the other schools. Overall the league has really improved. It'll be a tough tournament."
RICK WHITSON, FACULTY adviser for the ruggers, said, "If I had to choose a favorite (for this year's tournament), I'd say Missouri or Oklahoma. But we won't give up the trophy easily. We have a chance."
Kieltyka hopes the ruggers, in the midst of a rebuilding year, can gain the experience needed to successfully defend their crown next spring. They have a 7-4-1 record with two games remaining on their full schedule and also have a 10-10 game spiral schedule.
"Our losses came early in the season," Klietykla said. "We're improving as the season goes along. Our guys are starting to gain experience—they're starting to
ANOTHER REASON Keltyka has high bones for KU is their great teamwork.
"We have quality people," he said. "They play the role of leaders and of people who like to have playing for them."
Although the same players often remain starters, the fall and spring won-lost records are kept separate. Records also have learning on declining the conference champion.
Although all eight conference schools field rugby teams, K-State serves as the ruggers only league for dure during regular season play because of travel distances.
Wilson said, "the players themselves pay for travel expenses. They even take up a collection to help pay for the gas. These students are off from studying, but not an entire week."
THE STUDENT SENATE gives the KU Rugby Club $20, which is the club's only outside funding. The players must buy their own jerseys, socks, pants and shoes.
The funding goes to buy rugby balls, which cost $37 each, and to pay referrals. The remainder is used for entry fees for three rugby tournaments each year.
"Of course there are no scholarships," Whitson said. "So anyone who wants to play
But when Saturday came, Butler was ready.
Until late last Thursday, it was considered very doubtful that Butler would play. He was still bothered by a dislocated kneecap suffered in the K-State game, and he was held out of contact until Thursday's practice.
"He's the finest defensive lineman I've ever coached or seen," KU coach Bud Moore said. "He dominated Oklahoma's offensive line Saturday. The only reason he didn't have more tackles is simply because he was running opposite the side he lined up on."
is always welcome. We'd be glad to teach anvone the game."
He also pointed out that KU has a Beam rugby squad, so everyone gets a Beam.
For somebody who didn't even expect to be defensive tackle Mike Butler bad luck in a day.
He payed well enough, in fact, to be named. Sports Illustrated's national defensive player of the week, Butler, still bothered by an injured knee cap, made six tackles and forced four fumbles, helping KU defeat Oklahoma, 23-3.
"Many B-Team members move up to the variety the next semester," Whitson said.

THE KANSAS CITY Blues, the heart of America Rugby Union champions, play KU Nov. 16 at Kansas City. The Blues defeated the Bullets, 21-15, earlier this semester.
"The Blues are one of the best rugby
teams around," Kieltyka said. "They play a ton-notch band of rugby."
Closing out the fall schedule is a match at home Nov. 23 with the Kansas City Bulls.
"Both of our final games this fall are against tough opponents," Kieltya said. "But then everyone is improving. And rugby is really gaining popularity, too."

"Every time I turn around there are more teams springing up. We hope to be able to continue playing the caller rugby here at Kansas."

Are all scientists evolutionists
?
well informed.
Students have for many years been indoctrinated with the doctrine that all scientists believe in evolution. The Biblical record of creation, we have assured, is no longer taken seriously by the world.
One soon discovers, of course, that much of what is taught from classroom podiums and printed in costly textbooks is mere human opinion . . . even wishful thinking. The idea that evolution is a proven fact of science is a modern myth. Loud and frequent repetition has made it
Actually, at this moment there are thousands of well-qualified scientists and other educated professionals who have become convinced that the Biblical model of creation and the earth's
history is far more scientific than is the evolutionary model. This denies the
evolutionary model. This, despite the evolutionary indoctrination received in school. If you enjoy forming your own opinions — especially on matters of such basic importance as this drop, we a postcard at: Institute for Creation Research, P.O. Box 15486, San Diego, California 92175.

YOU DID IT
When we issued our
sued 100F challenge last week, when he was by Sunday eve (when this was written), more than 1000 of you had seen "Passenger," and you have proved to us that forfeit films have a large audience. We are a commercial success. so be it! We will be bringing more of them to town soon.
Before some of our more rabid critics leap pleasurily for our throats screaming like to point out that, while successful, "Passenger" did no better than the 4th week of "Let's Do It Again" and not as well as the 3rd week. But audiences—but a limited one. It takes all of your support to make programs like these successful. As long as you will support these programs, be more than happy to bring them to you. Thank you all for coming out.
