Those representing VUC in the cricket this year will be:

Dick Barry: A solid, imperturbable left-hand batsman and left-hand spinner, who has represented Wanganui in Hawke Cup fixtures. Has a consistent record over two tournaments.

Titch Boyer: Red-headed wicket-keeper who has completed first senior season. Boundary hitting bats-man. First tournament.

Colin Campbell: Tall West Indian fast bowler who has gained impressive figures in Hamilton and Palmerston North. Ex-AUC, now at Massey, he plays in his first tournament.

Pete Carver: Second tournament. Punishing right-hand batsman who scored well for Wanganui in Hawke Cup games. NZU golf champion and Blue.

John Gibson: Fresher from Wanganui Collegiate, where he had a most impressive record. Right hand, solidly built opening batsman who has played Hawke Cup cricket.

Barry Kerr: Aggressive right-hand batsman who has scored well in previous three tournaments.

Doug Laing: Solid batsman from Massey. Good field. Playing in fourth tournament.

Mick Lance: Wellington colts rep. Steady left-hand opening batsman and right-hand leg spinner. A very hard man to get out.

Morrie McDonald: Slow right arm off-spinner, left-hand bat and good field, from Massey.

John Martin: Medium pace stock bowler of in-swingers and off-spinners. Stubborn tail-end batsman. Third tournament.

Mick Pope: Stylish right-hand batsman who has not fulfilled promise this season. Potentially a dangerous off-spin bowler.

Jim Thomson: Plunket Shield and NZU rep. Left-hand spin bowler and tigerish right-hand batsman with an outstanding record over three tournaments.
