N. A. Morrison and Elizabeth MacLean have won the combined doubles championship at tennis. "Salient" has confidence in the ability of this combination to win at Tournament too.

"Salient" asks those freshers who played hockey at school to join the Women's Hockey Club.1937 was an unhappy year for this club and it needs the support of every woman hockey enthusiast.

Efforts by the Rugby Club to secure the services of Crossman the promising King Country five-eighths, have been unsuccessful. Such a player would have been worth his weight in gold to the seniors.

Basketball is included in the training schedule for men hockey players at Varsity this season. Years ago the Victoria College Men's Hockey Club was the largest in Australasia, it then had eight teams, compared with five last season. The appointment as Publicity Officer of D. A. Benjamin, a genuine enthusiast is a wise move.

The cricket seniors had a poor season. Their defeat of Karori in their last engagement saved them from occupying last place. T. A. Harpur was the most useful member. If his bowling fell away a little, his batting improved considerably. Knowsley was frequently a dangerous opening bowler with his slow medium swingers.

This season saw the inauguration of tennis matches between Victoria and Massey. The return match was played at Palmerston North a fortnight ago. Victoria again winning with a team consisting of B. W. Brock, L. B. Sandford, N. G. Foley, L. Pitt, R. Thawiey and W. Mitchell. The team was billeted at Massey and hospitably treated. Professor Peren, the Principal, and Mr. Wilson. Warden, were interested spectators at the matches.

Victoria's cricket team for the Speight Trophy contest with Auckland at Easter is as follows:—Banks. Dean, Drake, Fortune, Harpur, Knowsley Lunn, Ongley, Parkin, Tricklebank. Wilson.

The fact that it includes eight member of the team does not in itself make it a good team, but it is a fair side and should have some chance of success. D. Lunn. erstwhile wicket-keeper is now stationed at Rongotea.
