The headline of the two page rugby is a quote, "They eat their dead."

Rugby, it is noted, is gaining momentum on the plains. Glom writers are predicting a rugby frenzy within the next decade or so. Rugby, however, remains the sport that is respected, and the players are addressed in a humble fashion, lest you excite them.

Auburn's rugby club won 23 of 30 games this season and placed fourth in a field of 45 at the Mardi Gras tournament.

They still play on this field. The uniforms haven't changed much and there isn't that much in the way of equipment in the sport to start with, so not a lot of innovation to speak of there.

That barbed wire fence has been replaced, by a far less suitable chain link version.
