Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 22, No. 3. April 13, 1959
Blues !
Blues !
Monday morning saw the women finish their basketball losses, and one of their players, injured on Saturday was obviously missed.
The swimmers showed some hopeful signs, specially when Bill McCarroll won the Men's Dive, and an N.Z.U. Blue, in beating Richard Swindell the runner-up at this year's National Championships (Bill was third at Nationals), and many others qualified for their finals. Some Bulls were hit and we won the Shooting.
The afternoon saw an Athletic Blue, under that doubtful fresher eligibility clause. Will this chap continue to support the Varsity Club?—we hope so, others have failed to do so in the past.
And with the passing of the afternoon so passed Tournament sport, (?) except swimming for Easter '59. Most then adjourned to pubs, dinners and parties to warm up for the goings on at New-market, only to be disappointed by the quietest swimming finals in years—there was some light relief when a race was conducted during the polo half-time. But of course we'd won the Shooting.
