Harvard Rugby 1957

A 1957 lineout thrown by #13 Ron Gkenberry of Harvard's Varsity Rugby team

In the spring of 1957, the two best rugby teams in the East were the Harvard Crimson and the Indians from Dartmouth in a match that will probably decide the Eastern Rugby League.

The Crimson has won its three league matches so far this season, outscoring its opponents, 64 to 11. Harvard lost 3 to 0 against to Dartmouth in the Bermuda Intercollegiate Cup of 1957.

Two Crimson regulars included winger Mike Reynal and flank forward John Chalsty.
