Victoria's Good Tennis Wins

Victoria's Good Tennis Wins

No One university dominated Tournament tennis, but Victoria and Otago scored decisive wins in the men's and women's sections respectively.

Victoria's combination of R. Hawkes, J. Souter, V. Stubbs and Tan Sk romped through Auckland six matches to nil in the men's final. In 18 matches during the team's event Victoria dropped only one set.

In the second round. Victoria v. Canterbury, Victoria's Davis Cup representative, J. Souter, was lucky to survive an inspired display from leading Invercargill player R. Goodall. Souter finally won 2-6, 6-3, 8-6.

The Otago women, after trouncing Canterbury in the early round, beat Auckland four matches to two in the other team's final.

Play on the asphalt courts in Wellington's hilly suburb of Khandallah was a mixture of good and bad. A disappointing feature was the standard of women's tennis, in which Victoria and Canterbury fielded poor teams.
