Varsity Opens Rugby Season As Favorite Over Princeton

The Crimson rugby team opens its fall season against Princeton this morning at 10:30 a.m. on the House Football Field. Lighter, faster, and more experienced, Harvard is favored over a Tiger team weakened by mass graduations and a number of backfield injuries.

Playing coach Frank Lombardi, hooker Brady Williams, and wing forward Larry McQuade, former Oxford varsity star, will lead the potent Crimson attack. Two experienced Argentinian players, Maximo Leloir and George Hardoy, will cover wing and loc for Harvard respectively. At the other wing will be Andre Mistrol, a capable French rugger. John Styles, Christopher Laing, and John MacDonald will be at the backs.
