Table tennis
After winning the table tennis in 1963 and 1965, Victoria has dropped right down near the bottom in inter-university competition in this sport.
Otago was first, again trouncing Victoria 16-3, Auckland 16-3, Canterbury 12-7 and crushing Lincoln College 19-0.
Victoria were also beaten by Auckland (13-6), Canterbury (15-4) and were only able by virtue of a win over Lincoln (15-4) to avoid having that symbol of sporting inadequacy, the wooden spoon, bestowed upon them. Final tournament placings were Otago (1), Canterbury (2), Auckland (3), Victoria (4), Lincoln (5).
