them ingoal for our 25 yd dropout. This leads to a set which the Goose takes against the head at the 25. Eddie runs it from the base to Ray Condon out to Jeff to Bruce Lurie who makes a nice pass inside back to Jeff to Woody who scores in the corner after a 30 yd sprint with little time remaining. 14-10 Old Blue as Lurie makes the play of the day. Mangold strikes twice with his long legs to take their sets and keep us out of trouble as the game ends.

That night several people are their captain's guests for dinner-beautiful, except for the fact that a drunken Princeton Old Roy was there and you know what that's like. Later that evening certain members cd?~pollo 11 and are nearly busted by an undercover cop as a certain individual indiscreetly mutters the word "Ganja." Foctnote-immediately following arrival in Cayman (or maybe it was in Nassau, who remembers) ~herlock~roceeded to drop Sloan on his face and draw blood as Shelby got a little too enthusiastic during their wrestling match. At some point during the tour Woody's wife remarks that she though Old Blue wasn't as bad as Philly previously, but having been on this tour, she now knew better.
Saturday, late afternoon, Mangold notes the scores of the first team game, but fails to write down any details as he is too busy bullshitting with Nick (who happens to be playing in the game) :
tries:Liscovitz, Hyland, Stone (2). 3 conversions and one penalty kick by Hyland.
They got one kick and the game was actually close for a while as Lew was having his difficulties in the tights (after the game, when introduced to Lew, their hooker responds with "What position did you play?"). Charlie Johnson is outstanding in the lineouts while Nick looks great at his ''new-found positionw-2nd row. Captain Eddie .also has a great game, while Dunlevy seizes the opportunity to be on the firsts by constantly harrassing their SH. Sloan also looked good while it's too bad nobody got a picture of the surprised look on Joseph's face as he consistently breaks thru their line. Woody Stone, what,superlatives haven't been said ... Hennemuth is the heavy hitter while Lisc, Mahaffey and Hyland show Caymanians speed they've never seen before. Of course, the game wasn't without its lighthearted moments as Hyland threw the ball maliciously at Lepak and Eddie rode their #6 unmercifully the entire game for stating prior to kickoff that Old Blue had a mediocre #8.

Since the temperature was a mere 85 but the humidity was way up everybody's jerseys are com- pletely soaked. However the party after and the party/buffet that night provide ample liquid refreshment to restore equilibrium to our vital life cycles. At the party that night Nick exhibits disdain for Stu Rickerson, aforementioned Princeton Old Boy who is hanging out in Cayman following his own team'9 departur'e, as Stu asks Nick "How can you guys go to bed at 10:30 the night before the game and not go drinking." Nick replies with "That's the difference between playing for Old Blue and playing for Princeton." Atthis point Nick gathers a select few of his Old Blue buddies around him and proceeds to relate his famous Princeton story about - the time he was "guesting" for the thirds one Sunday afternoon against the Tigers back in the old days. Rossetti was playinq wing forward and one of their guys kept barging in the lineouts. Finally Nick got t5.oroughly disgusted and nailed the preppie with a good punch. The preppie was shocked and began to lecture Nick on the fact that rugby was a gentleman's game. After the match (won by us of course) the guy comes up to ~ i c k and the following dialogue took place:
-4- Princeton Player: "MY name is Spotswood."
~ossetti: "What's your first name?" Princeton Player: "That is my first name; it's an old Virginia name."
~ossetti: "My name is Nick; it's an old Bronx name."
At this point (the party was held at somebody's palatial estate near the beach) Carl Hamm is pretty drunk but remains in awe of Lepak ("Eddie, you're my idol"). gain it's free eats and Lepak and Joseph oblige by having four plates each. The theme of the evening is shepards and nympths and the Cayman hosts dress accordingly. Needless to say there are not enough nympths present. Lepak presents Woody Stone with a cup as MVP of the tour and Woody makes an impassioned speech only topped by ~ddie's in presenting the award. Hamm falls into a rock garden face first in a marvelous display of coordination. Condon and Mahaffey show up as Arabs compete with towels rapped as turbans-for ethnic balance. ~t figures they play for the NYAC. Meanwhile back in New York Holmes is suing Donelli for malpractice. CJ is again romancing some young native while Lurie tries to "beat" Eddie out of $5 and pays the price. Richie Brown and girlfriend are dancing up a storm, while O'Rourke, Sloan, Liscovitz, and Hennemuth engage in a drinking contest.
Sunday afternoon features a barbacue buffet at Surfside of the Gallion Hotel. ..as the roving Old Blue photographer c tches Joseph stuffing his face once again. No wonder Jeff has gout. $EL Lepak has more pictur s40f himself flexing, biut loses his long-awaited pingpong match to Lew, who dazzles the crowd on his water skies. Dunlevy and Sherlock are getting blasted with Mike's host at the Tortuga Club. The flight back is relatively quiet as everybody sleeps on the Corned Beef Special from Miami back to New York following our air shuttle from Cayman. Lepak makes a phone call from Miami back to the Big Apple in order to set. up..a cure for his horniness. Joseph is politi&ng already but can't quite score many points with' Capt. Eddie as he owes him $65 in poker. Lloyd is demonstrating a rare wit while Lepak is cracking Jewish jokes like there's no tomorrow. The 3 hour plane ride home affords certain Old Blues the opportunity to devise their own list of avuards which follows: (you could get more than one award)
