Small-Bore Rifle Shooting

This year's shooting team is the best from Lincoln for several years. Dick Beamish and Bob Bentley are both college blues and have good turnament records. Graham Hughes has a N.Z.U. blue in small-bore rifle shooting and the other two team members, Lyn Kingsbury and Simon Menzies, have both shot in previous tournaments. Each member has been shooting consistently this season and this team could easily win.

Golf

Bill Hindmarsh, Dave Mowat, John Nott and Brian Anson will represent C.A.C. The team is keen and has been practising hard for some months. Mill has a handicap of 8 and Dave has one of 14.

Badminton

Ching How Soo, captain of the team, is an old and fiendishly-cunning "shuttle-chaser". He has been very successful in inter club games but insists that his growth and development is limiting his play by occurring in the wrong places. He is an exponent of the "natural-grip." Koo Hok Kuan, alias Mac Woo the "Flying Scotsman", often finds himself out of reach, but makes good this physical deficit by energetic acrobatic stunts which retrieve many an impossible shot. He will be hard to beat. Abubakar bin Mahmud is a very stylish and deceptive player who has had great successes in recent matches. Zain bin Karin is a budding player whose capabilities have yet to be tested. Joan Radcliffe, Philippa Fenwick, Sylvia Sheat and Julia Liley will be Lincoln's "shuttle-chasers". Their undoubted charm along with the ability of the males will take some stopping.

Men's Basketball

"Big Jim" Childerstone, 6ft. 6in. of bone and muscle, is the mainstay of this year's team. Coty Burdon's tactical advice and experience will be of help and Dan Ellison (seven feet of dynamite!), Alan Coleman (Big Jim's protege) and Bill Kain, all of whom play rugby to keep fit for basketball, will provide the brawn. Dave Nicoll is one of those eight-footers who use their top foot to advantage, while John Hayward is potentially one of the best players, mainly because he has such a lot of potential to make up. This team has not lost a game this year!

Hockey

This is the dark horse of the Lincoln contingent. They have lost one game this year and within their ranks are many good players. J. troughton, ex-O.U. is on form, Dan Bensaude is an ex-international, and several others have played senior hockey in their own provinces. Its kinetic energy is low but as a team its potential is high.

Table Tennis

The team is capable without being brilliant. Its cosmopolitan character should be apparent: Australians, Malayans, Indonesians and even Kiwis will be in the team. Oni and Pru will help out on the female side.

Debating

This team is good. Evan Sherrard is an extremely capable and logical speaker. Ron Hay exudes Australian confidence and can out-bombast the most bombastic. The two have spoken together in several debates and have a wide debating experience. Even a Joynt Scroll audience can scarcely stop these two returning with Joynt Scroll 1958.

The Lincoln contingent this year is an unknown quantity. All teams are well up in local competitions but to what extent the standard is equivalent to the standard at tournament can only be shown ton the day. The rowing feat performed by Lincoln last taster could well be emulated by other sporting teams at Winter Tournament.

Tournament delegate "Thrash" says Lincoln expects every man to do his duty. . . .
