Palmer Rugby on CBS News with Dan Rather (1974)

Recording from April 20, 1974 of Palmer College Rugby Football Club playing against the University of Michigan Rugby Football Club in Ann Arbor, coincidentally played on Palmer Field. As rugby is an uncommon sport in the United States, the reporter plays the role of an informer and describes a brief overview of the rules of the game. Rugby as a sport has since developed significantly since 1974, but up until the temporary gym was built on Palmer field to substitute for the CCRB while under construction, Palmer Field was still occasionally used for the current University of Michigan Rugby Football Club to practice on.
