Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 2, No. 17. August 9, 1939

[Introduction]

The success of the Table Tennis Club's activities for the season is clearly indicated by the enthusiasm shown in the championships, at present well under way. The four club teams have performed creditably and have-effectively introduced V.U.C. to inter-club table tennis.

Of the inter-club players, MacLeod is losing his slightly erratic tendencies is losing his slightly erratic tendencies and is maintaining a more consistent standard. Terry Journet is still playing a fast open game. His forehand attacking shot is as difficult to return as MacLeod's service. Bert Foley is earning a reputation for reliability in the top team and can always be relied upon to contribute his quota of games. Rashbrooke, last year's champion, is in fine form and will be very hard to beat again.

Still unbeaten, the "D" grade team have every chance of winning their section, if not the grade championship. Terry Sweeney, always a hard man to beat, has played exceptionally well at times. Fred Brooker, Eddie Robertson and Jack Stafford played splendidly in their matches and show every promise of improving further.

Jack Stafford has been included in the Wellington rep, team under 18. He is to be heartily congratulated on his selection.

Although it has met with a few reverses, the second "D" grade team has benefited from inter-club matches and the players are improving with every round.
