To ensure that clubs keep bringing in new players, many of the groups use various methods of advertising. "Our main recruiting methods are word of mouth and Day on the Quad," water polo club president Paul Wilson said. These are common tactics used by several of the clubs. In the case of women's rugby,, team president Whitney Doe said that in addition to word of mouth and Day on the Quad, they also have sign-up tables in the Taggart Student Center and they hand out flyers to get the minimum 16 players needed to field a team. Doe said their main problem wasn't getting players to come out for the team, it was getting them to keep with it and come to practice. "One of our limitations is getting people to come out to practice at all and then to stick with it," Doe said. She feels that because of the obscurity of the sport, lack of knowledge intimidates people from giving it a try. "Rugby is not a well-known sport and though no experience is necessary, girls give up before they give themselves a chance to learn," Doe said, "Lots of people never think about trying to play a completely different sport as well. • WESTON From page 8 JL THE ROCKY POTnT HaUNTED HOUSC CELEBrATES 25 YEARS OF FEA*.

When she did finally score, things worked out as the Aggies won their first two games of the year thanks to Weston's three goals against Idaho State and San Francisco. Weston was named Western Athletic Conference player of the week that week, and she was also an honorable mention All-Big West selection last season. The conference season is just around the corner for the Ags and Weston said she feels good about their chances. She said she had plenty of time to watch the style of play in the WAC as she was a medical redshirt her freshman year at San Jose State before transferring to Logan. "If we come together at conference that will be key," Weston said. "I've seen the teams play at conference. Anyone has a chance at winning and I definitely think we'll be a team up there at the top." As for the remaining three game before the conference season heats up there is still plenty on the Aggies plate. Weston said the Ags need to keep their outside backs involved in the offense and keep pressure on the other team at all levels of the field from their forwards to their defenders. -krn@cc.usu.edu Jessica Alexander photo/jakxanderfpccuuj.edu UTAH STATE'S BIKE CLUB had an opening social Sept. 14 as a recruiting tool.

Even though the team was pretty battered from the physical games, Potter was optimistic about the weekend because it gave them experience in a tournament setting and prepare them for the post season. "It was good to get a feel for playing four games in a week," he said. The Aggies return to action in another tournament the weekend of Oct. 7 in Colorado. -stm@cc.usu.edu • W A T E R POLO From page 8 University of Utah and a close game against Colorado State. "The team played well and learned a lot," said Wilson. He added that the Colorado State game came down to the last two minutes and Utah was "really good and showed it." The next tournament for the Aggies will be in Colorado in two weeks. The women's season will then start after the winter break with a similar schedule. According to Bundy and Wilson, the teams have a lot to look forward to. The women's team is in its second season and is looking forward to the new blood brought on this season. Although the Aggie women won't compete until spring, they're practicing hard with the men to prepare. "Some good things that came out of last season," Bundy said, "are that we learned how everything works. We had to go through how we set these tournaments. We held the Aggie Invitational last year, had the high school teams come up and play against each other. We And it only takes a few seconds, a few -words, to keep her forever.

The men's team is working just as hard to improve, Wilson said. With a tournament schedule including Air Force, Colorado State , in-state rival University of Utah and a local schedule ' that's still being worked out, they hope to make a turnaround from last year's season. "We're looking forward to new players," Wilson said. "Really, we have a lot of them and we're looking forward to facing the teams in our division. For the guys, we have about four returning players and 10 new players, so about two-thirds [are new]." Despite most of the team being new to USU, they're not inexperienced. Most played in high school and many played on college club teams at other schools. The most notable addition to the men's team is goalie Corey Holmgren. "[He's] definitely one to look out for," Wilson said. Other players that could be a force on the men's side include veteran Matt Steed, newcomer* Brandon Vaughn and, Bundy \ added, Wilson himself. j "We're definitely better than we were last year," Wilson continued. Wilson listed a better understanding of the game, continual improvement and beating the teams that they were close to defeating last year as his goals..
