Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 2, No. 3 March 22, 1939

[introduction]

The philosophy of many Weir House residents being that an assiduous application to sport is in itself sufficient guarantee of success in Varsity exams it occasions little surprise to find that all varieties of sporting activity are in full swing at that institution.

A review of billiards form is at present impossible as the regular devotees have not yet settled down to steady practice. At the moment, new residents and moths are vying in pock-marking the cloth, and a later sports flash may give a progress report of this competition.

The rattle of ping-pong balls continues to a late hour and engages those few who are not attracted by the nearby tennis courts and cricket practice pitches. A table-tennis tournament will shortly be in progress. Present form suggests that last year's victor, de la Mare, may again carry off the laurels. There are however, several old residents with the experience born of long devotion and many freshers of unknown capacity who may be capable of providing an upset.
