Tournament Prospects
Easier Tournament comprises eight Sports—athletics. Boxing, cricket, rowing;, shooting, swimming, tennis and women's outdoor 'basketball. VUC can only throw off her Arm grip on the Wooden Spoon by making an all-round improvement in all sports. A concerted effort by all clubs taking port could mean following up our well-earned victory of the last Winter Tournament, with a long overdue Easter success.
Nothing equals the rewards to be gained from enthusiastic team-work, and very often a team which lacks individual stars con defeat its rival through sheer fitness and team-work. Time is short, so It is up to all clubs, not merely one or two, but the whole eight of them, to concentrate now on selecting their most able representatives, to mould these teams into smooth and effective combinations, and thus ensure that the Green and Gold is not disgraced at Auckland this year.
We can do it—but we must cultivate the will to win. Let us show the other colleges the stuff that Victoria is made of.
