The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1916

Doubles.

Sergt. Seay and Lieut Sheppard lost to Smith and Cleghron

Sergt. Atmoer and Sergt. Wright lost to Sergt. Foden and Broad.

Sergt. Collins and Sergt. Marcussen lost to Edmondson and Howie 0—6, 3—6

Several other matches were arranged with Trentham Camp, but on each occasion rain prevented their being played. Early in the season two successful handicap tournaments were held on public holidays among the club members, one being a Yankee and the other a Sealed Handicap Tournament. The ladies' and the men's Championship Singles were commenced some time before Christmas: the final of the former has yet to be played off between Miss Fenton and Miss Junker while we must congratulate Cleghorn on again winning the latter, by defeating Foden 6—2, 6—2, in the final. The most interesting match in the men's singles to win after a strenuous three-set go.

In concluding we would like to thank those ladies who have throughout the season so kindly attended to the making of afternoon tea and we would also like to add a word of thanks to the College Council for their decision to erect a concrete wall along the bank in the corner of number 4 court.
