Rugby All-Star plays for the memories
By Jeffrey Auslander
Kansan sportswriter
The scruffy reddish hair that hangs from the chin of Kansas club rugby player Dan Carl gives him a tough guy image. However, his friendly calmness would make anyone question that image. Carl, who survived three concussions last year, is probably a combination of the two descriptions.
A junior from St. Louis, Carl had never played rugby before his arrival at Kansas in August, 1993.
"I played football in high school, and I was looking for something to stay in shape," Carl said. "I liked tackling and I heard the rugby team was a lot of fun, so I joined."
Carl joined the team and has become one of Kansas' best players. Last year Carl scored 14 tries. A try is the equivalent to a touchdown in football. In August he played select side for the Heart of America All-Star team.
His teammates and coaches have grown confident of his ability.
"Dan Carl was recently an all-star," Kansas club rugby coach Bill Mills said. "He will definitely he a great help to this year's team."
Carl is not ready to let down either. Last week he scored three tries against the Kansas club B team in a practice game.
Carl's home life may be one of the reasons
"My dad was always big on getting me into athletics," Carl said. "One of my main drives is that I am kind of dedicating this season to him."
he continues to compete at such a high level. His father always tried to keep him in athletics. One of the main motivations for Carl has been the loss of his father this past summer.
Carl is looking forward to what he believes will be a successful season for this year's team. The team is planning on winning the Heart of America Conference championship and is hoping for a national tournament trip.
"We've come a long way from where we started three weeks ago," Carl said. "We're starting to gel, and we should be one of the top teams in the country."
One thing that Carl enjoys most about the team is the friendships he has gained.
"The camaraderie for this team continues way off the field, and that includes a complete social setting. too." Carl said.
Perhaps Carl will be sad when his last rugby game at Kansas is over. He won't be able to feel the rush of scoring a hard earned try. Or maybe he will miss the thought of playing in memory of his dad.
Carl doesn't seem worried, though.
"I know that I have gained some good friends from this team — friends for life," Carl said.
