Sleepy?

The Official Welcome and Sports Council meetings were noted for the large number of absentees—Athletics and Swimming did not have a quorum at their first meetings.

Friday night the parties started and some of them finished on Saturday but others like the brook . . . till after we won the shooting.

On Saturday we got down to business—the Waterpolo team beat Canterbury 8-1 in their only win, the boys with rifles showed how it should be done while the cricketers showed how it shouldn't.

In the evening came the first of the dinners with the swimmers showing strength in bending spoons and being asked to leave the Waverley after a sermon from the manager.

The rowers had a quieter dinner and your Sports Editor was found with a carrot end in his mouth and an empty bottle of whisky in his hand at a party somewhere in Auckland. Who were winning the shooting, Vic. of course.

Sunday provided a dull day—Mass for those faithful few who were up at 9 a.m. and service for the remainder (?) at 6.30 p.m., followed by "La Ronde" and of course parties. And Vic. of course were winning the shooting.
