MEDAL TABLE MEDAL SUMMARY EVENTS Men's rugby union Match 1 In the first half, France scored a try by Emile Serrade and a conversion. Germany scored tries by Heinrich Reitz and August Schmierer , with two conversions as well as a drop goal. Under the custom scoring rules of the Olympic tournament (3 points for tries or penalties, 2 points for conversions, 4 points for drop goals), this gave Germany a lead of 14-5. The second half was vastly different, as Serrade scored two more tries while Albert Roosevelt also scored two and Frantz Reichel and A. Albert added one each. Two more conversions were made, bringing France's score to a total of 27. Germany, on the other hand, scored only one try, by one of the LudwigsThe scorer's name is listed as "Ludwig", but there were two Ludwigs playing for Germany. It is unclear if the scorer was Erich Ludwig or Richard Ludwig .. France thus won the match 27-17. Match 2 The British squad was shut out in the first half, while France continued the scoring barrage they had experienced in the second half of the Germany match. Serrade scored two tries, bringing his tournament total to five. Joseph Olivier , Jean Collas , and Jean-Guy Gauthier each added a try. No conversions were scored, though André Rischmann 's two penalties brought France's first-half total to 21. Britain actually outscored France in the second half, 8-6, but had little chance of catching up. J. G. Wallis scored a try while J. Henry Birtles made a conversion and a penalty for Britain. Reichel scored his second try of the tournament, and Léon Binoche added a try to bring France's victory to a 27-8 margin. ROSTERS Union des Sociétés Français de Sports Athletiques
