In the second tennis test between New Zealand University and the touring Australian Universities team played at Wellington on 27 January, N.Z.U. clinched the rubber by winning ten matches to six. The first test played at Auckland was won by N.Z.U. 12 to 4. Unfortunately only one of the girls who played at Auckland (Miss Betty Nelson. V.U.C.) was available fos this test and Mrs. Val. Andrews (V.U.C.), Miss J. Buxton ( O.U.) and Miss D. France (V.U.C.) entered the team. Alan Robinson (V.U.C) replaced club mate Barry Boon in the men's team. The test was productive of much fine tennis and featured a marathon doubles match between B. E. Woolf and Z. Montgomerie (N.Z.U.) and the top Australian men M. Callaghan and 1 Rae. Overall the New Zealand men were superior and the women evenly matched.

One of the best matches was that in which top Australian Callaghan showed impressive shots in reversing his Auckland defeat by A.U.C.'s Brian Woolf (now overseas). This was Callaghan's best display of the tour. In the too women's match between Misses Betty Nelson (N.Z.U.) and Bradfield (Aust.) Miss Nelson's steady stroking and controlled lobbing were too consistent for her more aggressive opponent. Miss Nelson won 6-4. 4-6. 6-4.

In the doubles the match between the top men lasted 53 games before Woolf and Montgomerie defeated Callaghan and Rae. The New Zealanders took the fust set 11-9. lost the second 6-3 and led 5-3 in the third. Fighting back the [unclear: Austsaliams] took the next four games and led 30-0 and 6-5 before the N.Z.U. paid could halt this dazzling winning streak, Games followed service until Rae dropped to make the final score 13-11. This was R. match in which all four players turned on periods of very tine tennis.
