Immediate Source of Acquisition
The bulk of this collection was given to Stanford University, Special Collections and University Archives by Steve Yost in
May 1995. Addenda to the collection were given to the Library by Robert J. Wecker, and Paul B. Andrew between October 1995
and August 2007.
Biographical / Historical
Known at its conception in 1959 as the Monterey Rugby Tournaments, the title went through several changes: Monterey National
Rugby Tournament, 1962; Monterey National Rugby Championships, 1978; Monterey National Invitational Rugby Tournament, 1980;
and Pebble Beach Rugby Classic, 1985 to the last tournament in 1990. This tournament was the first one of its kind held on
the North American continent, from which it came all other tournaments. Teams from all over the country and all over the world
played at Pebble Beach. The Stanford University Rugby team participated in the tournament and won a number of championships.
The tournament was founded by Paul Andrews, and steered through most of its years by Steve Yost. The games were discontinued
in 1991 after failure to find a suitable venue.
