The Spike: or, Victoria College Review October 1907

[review of female hockey season]

TThe continued success of this club in cup matches is a pleasant change from the conditions prevailing in most of our other teams. Not only do they win matches with astonishing consistency, but their opponents are rarely allowed the luxury of even one goal. Attack and defense are alike excellent, and even in the absence of one or two shining lights next year sufficient talent will probably remain to maintain their record, and unless the improvement in football, which is to date from the erection of the gymnasium, is truly phenomenal, the ladies will bring home our second cup championship. More power to their lusty arms if they do—the footballers at least will be pleased to see a cup from anywhere. If they could only be induced to take more interest in preserving some particulars of their doughty deeds for future generations, our satisfaction would be complete. Modesty is a rare virtue, but it can be over done. Slight dissatisfaction appears to have arisen in outside clubs over the action of the Match Committee in arranging byes for Victoria College during the term vacation. This course is usual in all other competitions, and it is quite in the best interests of the game that teams should be fully represented.
