The Spike or Victoria College Review, June 1905

The Meeting of Delegates

The Meeting of Delegates.

"Such grave and goodly councillors! such tea! such pies!
Happy events from these must surely rise."

Neave.

While the "Countess" was making her way across the harbour the delegates began a meeting which ended in—a pie-shop. The "still-vex'd" question of eligibility was discussed but no change was instituted. An important alteration was made, however, in the Tennis Rules, The number of entries for the Tennis Championships, which had been fixed at two from each College for each event after the 1905 Tournament, was amended so that in the Ladies' Singles and Doubles three entries should be allowed. The idea was that the Tennis programme should be curtailed owing to the shortness of time for the events and the strain placed on those who are left in three events on the last day. It was pointed out, however, that as Tennis gives the one chance of representation to the ladies it would be unwise to further limit the number—especially as ladies' matches might be arranged on Easter Monday morning.
