Judoka

♣ An Apology is due to the Victoria judoka; they must have been mixing saki in with their rice because they made hash of a suggestion that they didn't have the strength to do well at tournament. In actual fact all the four universities that entered teams were of such an even standard that there was a three-way tie for second place. As a university sport, judo seems to be on the up-and-up, with a coaching team coming over from Australian Universities in the near future, and such close competition at tournament.
