Rugby Under Coach Derek Blackwell, USC ruggers finished their finest season in recent years, and have a good claim to the national ti- tle. The squad was 13-1-2, los- ing only to arch rival UCLA, 9-5, in a much disputed contest. Three crowns were amassed by the group. First, the Southern California League championship over ten area teams. Secondly, the AAWU title, in taking this Cal was beaten for the first time since 1939. At the Monterey tournament which is considered the unofficial national champion- ship, Piedmont Gap, a rugby club of Northern California, was beaten for the trophy. iSffcl 14 ; i Mike Taylor (77) steals the ball from an ex-Trojan Ken Wilson.
