1972 Fall Men Portal
The ONLY collegiate team to ever win the prestigious Aspen Ruggerfest Tournament. It’s been years since I’ve looked at a picture with Sqdn Ldrs Stables and Reynolds – two great individuals. I always said that, especially for someone like me who had never played rugby until the Academy, it was extremely beneficial to learn the sport from gentlemen who had grown up with it and played it most of their lives. They knew the history, traditions, and values that rugby entailed and it was always a pleasure to learn about the game from them. . Scott Hente

Memorable Events
Everyone got trophies when we won the Aspen Tournament ! .... and we think Collazo (now name of LaSaxon) still has the trophy
Coors Cup: (as told by Jim Russell) Barbos beat AFA at DU in the semi-final on Sat, on an icy field, by one point in a hell of a game, refereed by John Pollard. There were 2 controversial ref calls in that match, one where Pollard, who was a very good ref, called an AFA penalty goal good when all of us thought it missed, and he then disallowed a try by Yanigloss; after the match I asked Jim if he had scored the try, he said, “Yes”, and I agreed with him. If those 2 calls have been the other way it would have been a tie, and who knows what would have happened. Anyway, the Barbos barely beat the Academy, and went on the next day to beat Highlanders B.
