The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, October 1904
First Team
First Team.
V.C. v. Wellington. Lost, 3—0. College kicked off with 14 men, and Patrick was hurt early in the game. Students' Carnival the night before did the rest.
V.C. v. Athletic. Won, by default.
V.C. v. Petone. Lost, 11—0. Petone had the best of the first spell, but at the finish College set in a strong attack, Ostler and Gillanders narrowly missing tries. The latter played an excellent game.
V.C. v. Old Boys. Lost, 8—5. A very even hard-fought game. Tudhope, resplendent in new stockings, and urged on by fair spectators, played the game of his life. Bray, Gillawders, and de la Mare were the best of the forwards, and Hunter, who converted his own try, the pick of the backs. The defence of both sides was excellent.
