Our third season in Senior Football has not been marked by any great success in fact the win against Canterbury College was the only break in the dull round of defeat. However, those who are in a position to know consider the team to be an improvement on former combinations, and the general standard of Wellington football is undoubtedly higher this year than last. All things considered, the evergreen enthusiasts who anxiously await the day when the green colours will be mast-high have no cause for commiseration; there is no royal road to success, and an extensive acquaintance with defeat will enhance the joy of success when, as it surely will.

The gymnasium, which is now to be only a part of a thoroughly-equipped Student's Social Hall, should make a difference when available for regular practices, but there seems no prospect of its completion in time for next season.

Nothing further has been done in connection with the proposed N. Z. University team for Sydney next year, but if financial arrangements can be satisfactorily made, it is practically certain that the trip will be undertaken. As we should like to see Victoria College represented in such a combination, we trust that our prominent footballers will not lose sight of the fact that training is an essential qualification for selection.

Otago University has again won the championship in Dunedin. Their success is a pleasing indication of the possibilities of College teams, and we extend our hearty congratulations.

Sydney University is also a leading team in its grade matches, some of their men representing the State in the team which recently defeated the "All-Blacks."

G. V. Bogle represented Wellignton in the match against Wairarapa, and was also selected for the "B" team against Horowhenua, but was unable to make the trip to Levin.
