Volley Ball

Canterbury won all their matches to win tournament Volleyball. Second was Victoria and third Otago.

The standard of play was unexpectedly high with many fine individual performances to be seen. Not only were Canterbury strong individually, but their teamwork won the admiration of all who saw them play.

Both the A and B New Zealand Universities' Teams beat the Wellington teams and this in itself was an indication of the standard of University Volleyball. The sport being new to New Zealand, is strong among new New Zealanders and these people were predominant in the Wellington teams. They had all played the sport overseas and had gained representative honours.

Such was the success of this sport at tournament that negotiations are now under way to hold an open tournament in Christchurch next May. This should prove to be a major step in the development of the sport in New zealand.

In the first day's play, Canterbury won three games, Victoria A two, Otago one, and Victoria B nil. The playoff on Monday saw Canterbury beat Victoria A three sets to nil and then Victoria A beat Otago two sets to one.
