Ruggers Take Third In Triad Toumey
By Curran Bowen
VMI Ruggers finished
higher than any other college
side, including Virginia's cur-rent
state champions Old Do-minon
University, North Caro-lina's
state chaiTq}ions Appala-cian
State, and the East Coast
Wild Card Selection University
of North Carolina - Greensboro,
during the Triad Rugby Tour-nament
in Greensboro last
weekend. Thirteen teams parti-cipated
in the tournament. Each
were placed in one of four div-isions.
Union College, who travelled
from New York and who won
second place in the tournament
last year, was VMI's first oppo-nent.
Both clubs took the pitch at
11:00 am Saturday morning
pulling their collars up to a light
snowfall and cold winds.
However, shortly after the
match began the skies cleared
and Greg Skinner made a three
point penalty kick. Greg scored
again within a few minutes, by
running the weak side and into
the try zone for four points.
Union did manager a penalty
kick of their own bringing a fin^
score of seven to three.
UNC-G was VMI's next op-ponent.
The current East Coast
Wild Card selection brought a
large confingency of spectators
along for the match despite the
falling tempertures. This match
was hard fought by both clubs.
Neither side scor^ a try, but
VMI managed to draw several
penalties from UNC-G which
enabled Greg Skinner to place
two penalty kicks at three points
a piece. UNC-G mustered a well
aimed kick of their own,
however this was not enough.
VMI won division three with a
score of six to three.
This victory also advanced
VMI to the semifinals Sunday
morning. The weather cleared
leaving blue skies, warmer tem-pertures,
and the mud dried
somewhat. So ball-handling was
guaranteed to be better than the
day before.

VMI Hosts Boxing Regionals
By Charles Chung
VMI will host the NCBA
South Eastern Regional Cham-pionships
at Cocke Hall. The
first round will be held today at
7:30 p.m. and the championship
bouts will be held on Saturday at
7:30 p.m.
The Southeastern Region is
composed of Westchester,
Villanova, The Citadel, and
U.S.N.A.
VMI will be represented by
one of the best teams in recent
years filling 10 of 12 weight
classes.
Two boxers will not partici-pate
due to injuries; Ken Krynski
at 172 lbs., and Sal Bora at 132
lbs. Ken Krynski broke his hand
while sparring "Iron Head"
Mike Corson. Sal Bora was in a
freak accident during raquetball
class this Wednesday and hurt
his head suffering a concussion.
Despite the two key injuries,
VMI still has a solid team and
should do well in the Regionals.
The following boxers will rep-resent
VMI.
