I was the Air Force Officer who founded the club with Joe Stranger. I have a number of photos from the first two seasons that may interest the club. The first two years were quite interesting as we tried desperately to field a full side. On most game days, we had half the team as "newbies". One interesting note... while the vast majority of Arizona teams were sponsored by Michelob, we sought and obtained a great Lwenbrau sponsorship! They took great care of us. We never won a match the first year and had our most embarrassing loss to ASU (83-6 as I recall). I still resent that they never let up. However, we regularly won the party with robust singing and sportsmanship.
