Table Tennis

This turned out to be one of Vic's weaker sports. Otago, Auckland and Canterbury took the places.

Interest was added to the inter-varsity competition by the participation of an Australian Universities team who competed on an unofficial basis.

Two of Vic's players. B. Coley, and C. Loo were selected for NZU men's and women's teams respectively which competed against Wellington.

The former Hutt Valley player G. B. Murphy (Otago), a son of the former British Empire champion boxer, Bos Murphy, won the men's singles title.

He beat T. Quinn (Auckland) in the final but in combination with K. Jackson, went down to Quinn and M. Eng in straight sets in the doubles event.

Murphy and the triple national junior titleholder Miss M. Fogarty (Otago) won the mixed doubles.

The women's events were a triumph for the Australians. Miss C. Vick beat Miss Fogarty to take the singles crown, and then partnered Miss J. Bailey to success in the doubles against Miss Fogarty and Miss J. Tourell.
