The Athletic Team

Auckland should win the athletic shield; but Victoria may just surprise with such talented hangmen as Lance Leckis, Joe Pope, Doug. Drysdale, etc., not to mention the redoubtable (Miss) Jeanette Buckland—all candidates for selection. The club is at present in a very successful phase, having in the past season won the Melrose Shield for relay competition, been runners-up to Kiwi in the Dewar Shield, and then won the McVilly Shield by a handsome margin at provincials. Women athletes are apparently few and far between at University.

Little need be said of the men's tennis team. R. Hawkes, J. Souter, plus two other men such as D. Chapman, H. Greenwood and J. Taylor form a formidable combination. The women's team, as far as I'm concerned, is unknown.
