Table Tennis

Victoria's team this year would seem to be unbeatable, at least in the men's department, and the only opposition is likely to come from Auckland in the form of T. Cockfield. Our team consists of:

Lim Kim Woon, the agile Colombo Plan student from Singapore, a newcomer to the Tournament side and to this University. He has been one of the most successful and consistent players in the A grade competition, and is probably the fastest player on his feet this University has ever seen.

Wim Verhoeven, a player recently returned after an absence of two seasons from this club. He thoroughly deserves his selection both on possibilities and on present form.

Jeff Thomas, a veteran tournament player who has shown his consistency and concentration in A reserve, and was runner-up in 1956 to Alan Robinson.

Bede Rundle is the team's second former finalist, and has developed a tricky game with his coagulated sponge bat.

The women's duo is not as strong as the male counterpart, but boasts a promising player in the person of the C grade captain Nevenka Hegedus. Her team-mate will be Sheila Hoey, who skippers the D grade side the girls will meet stiff opposition from Canterbury and from Auckland if last year's champion is available for Tournament. It is predicted that Victoria will take the men's singles and doubles, and possibly the mixed doubles title will return to Wellington.
