Accept Bids
For Tourney
Three rugby clubs have accepted an in-
vitation to play in the Denton Rugby Club’s
tournament beginning 2 p.m. Saturday at
the practice field next to Fouts Field, ac-
cording to club president Tommy Ayars,
Longview junior.
The Dallas Rugby Club, the Dallas
Wildebeests and the Ft. Sill Rugby Club
have accepted. Ayars said he is waiting to
hear from the Dallas Harlequins and the
Fort Worth Rugby Club.
The clubs will play seven men a side, in-
stead of the usual 15, and will play seven-
minute halves instead of 40-minute halves,
Ayars said.

Sports Briefs
Tracksters To Host Four Teams
North Texas will host four track and
field teams at Fouts Field Thursday at 3
p.m. in the final meet before conference
championship competition begins.
The field will include North Texas and
West Texas of the Missouri Valley Confer-
ence (M VC), SMU and TCU of the South-
west Conference and Pan American, an in-
dependent entry.
North Texas is one of the favorites for
the MVC championships in Memphis May
19-20, but the Eagles’ strong events—the
hurdles and weights—are also strong spots
with West Texas.
The Eagle outlook is darkened by hurdler
Ed Eberhart’s pulled muscle, which side-
lined him early in the spring. The former
national junior college champion had time
to set a record for North Texas inter-
mediate hurdles that is also the best con-
ference performance this season, 52.4.
GREENBACK CLUB
The Greenbackers, a new club composed
of freshmen and sophomore women, will
be one of the many clubs who will kick-
off next fall’s Mean Green Week, according
to Ruthie Hejl, Bellville junior, and coor-
dinator of the Mean Green Campaign.
Miss Hejl says that persons who would
like to participate in the campaign may con-
tact her at the Dean of Students’ Office,
leave their name at the athletic department
office or call 387-0793.
POWER LIFTING
The North Texas Powerlifters took first
place in the novice college division at the
Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) State
Power Lifting Contest held in the Men’s
Gym Saturday, Richard Smith, meet direc-
tor and North Texas graduate said.
North Texas students who led their team
to first place in the novice division were
Mark Dettman, Dallas sophomore, second
place, 165-pound weight division; Mario
Munguia, Dallas freshman, third place,
165-pound weight division; Rick High-
tower, Denton junior, sixth place, 165-
pound weight division; and David Murphy,
San Antonio freshman, second place, 181-
pound weight division.
Two trophies in the open division were
also won by North Texas students. Jim
Caraway, Sherman junior, won third place
in the 123-pound weight division by lifting
890 total pounds. Smith set the new state
record of 605 pounds dead lift and lifted
1,535 total pounds to win first place in the
220-pound weight division.
WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL
There will be a meeting in the Women’s
Gym at 4 p.m. Thursday for women inter-
ested in playing volleyball next fall.
Those interested may call Miss Hood at
ext. 2186 in the Women’s Gym.
ATHLETIC WORKSHOPS
Summer workshops in football, basket-
ball and modern dance are being planned by
the department of health, physical educa-
tion and recreation.
The workshops will be for audit, credit
and noncredit.
By STEVE BLOW
Daily Reporter
Because of the vast amount of both good
and “ridiculous” motorcycle legislation
each year, the Denton Dirt Riders Club is
initiating a campaign to inform their repre-
sentatives where they stand on the issues.
Club vice-president Charles Farmer of
Denton is in charge of keeping up on pend-
ing state and federal legislation and report-
ing that information to the club.
“BASED ON that information, we will
make a stand on the issue as a club,” Farm-
er said. “From that point we will write to
our representatives on Denton Dirt Riders
stationery voicing our position on the issue
and club members will be urged to write
individually.”
Farmer said the information gathering
stage had just gotten started and the club
had not taken a stand on any issues yet.
Farmer said an engineer from a major
car manufacturer had recently recommend-
ed to a federal committee that motorcy-
clists be required to wear seat belts.
“That is the type of thing we want to find
out about and let legislators know where
we stand,” he said. The engineer making the
recommendation had probably never ridden
a motorcycle, Farmer added.
A bill was introduced into the current
session of the Texas Legislature requiring
the wheels be pulled from motorcycles
and the brake linings inspected annually.
FARMER SAID a representative of the
Motorcycle Industry Council showed the
legislator who introduced the bill that a
visual check of an adjustment nut could
tell the motorcyclist how much brake lining
he had in a matter of seconds. The bill
was dropped.
One issue the club will be taking a stand
on soon is legislation to exclude motor-
cycles from the no-fault insurance plan
Insurance rates for motorcycles have gone
up 450 per cent in states adopting no-fault
insurance. Farmer said.
Because 85 per cent of all car-motor-
cycle accidents are the car driver’s fault,
motorcyclists obviously stand to lose under
no-fault, Farmer said.
THE CLUB will also be taking a stand
on legislation setting noise standards for
motorcycles. “Club policy already states
that no unmuffied motorcycles are allowed
at any club events,” he said.
Another issue is a proposed “hold harm-
less clause.” This would protect property
owners from liability for accidents on their
property. Farmer said many property own-
ers won’t allow cyclists on their property
for fear of being sued.
Farmer said the club would be taking a
stand on the mandatory wearing of helmets,
but he could not anticipate what it would
be. “Personally, 1 think you should wear
a helmet, but I do not think the govern-
ment has the right to make me wear it,”
he said.
Farmer said he is trying to make appoint-
ments to see U.S. Rep. Dale Milford and
State Rep. Walt Parker to discuss motor-
cycle legislation.

Four Cagers
Show Intent
For Eagles
Three Ohio all-stars and a Texan have
signed national letters of intent with North
Texas, Gene Robbins, basketball coach,
said.
The first four signees are Darnell Irby of
Cleveland, Dwight Mitchell and Palmo
Simmons of Cincinnati and Phillip Sewell
of San Antonio.
Irby, a 6-8 forward, averaged 24.3 points
and 17.6 rebounds per game at Warrens-
ville Heights, a suburb of Cleveland. His
junior averages were 15.1 points and 14.7
rebounds.
Irby was voted the most valuable player
in his conference and earned all-city and all-
sectional honors. He will play in the Ohio
North-South all-star game.
Both Cincinnati recruits scored 18 points
in the recent Dayton all-star game. Mitchell
is a 6-3 16 guard/forward from Princeton
High School. Simmons, a 6-2 'h guard,
played at Hughes High School.
Mitchell, who never missed a game in
three years as a starter, scored 1,021 career
points for a 15.3 average. His outpout last
year as a starter was 20.8 points a game.
