Why is it that Victoria teams to Tournament look stronger on paper than on the field? Why does Victoria win the Wooden Spoon with monotonous regularity? And even lose the Drinking Horn!

Everyone realizes that Victoria has a greater percentage of part-timers, especially in her Law and Commerce Faculties. For such students, it is often impossible to get out of the office and away to tournaments outside Wellington. This is granted.

But when we have a Tournament in Wellington this excuse is not valid. Yet who won the Wooden Spoon at Easter 1960? Are the following Victoria representatives for Winter Tournament 1960 going to collect it again at Christchurch? Anyway, "Salient" wishes them the best of luck.
