Hockey Club.

The Committee of the V.U.C. Hockey Club extends a cordial welcome to all men freshers, and hopes that their days at the V.U.C. will be happy ones.

All those who wish to enter into the life of the College and represent it on the playing fields the Committee invites to join up with the Hockey Club. There is room for every kind of player, whether good, bad, or indifferent, in the ranks of the club, and those who take the game on for the first time need feel no diffidence about their lack of skill. Some of the finest players V.U.C. has ever turned out started their hockey as freshers, so there is no reason why you should not follow in their footsteps. At the beginning of every season there is a large number of players who have never handled a stick before, yet our novice teams invariably do well.

A stick is presented every season to the most improved new player, and Blues and caps are awarded to members of the senior teams. Whenever possible trips are arranged for the lower grade teams, and for the seniors there is the annual inter-Varsity hockey tournament, to be held this year in Christchurch. In the last three years the club has grown so much that it now fields seven teams instead of four, but there is still room for you. If you are interested come along to the annual general meeting and see for yourself what an enthusiastic body the members are.

If there is any information you desire, just leave a note in the rack for the Club Captain, J. L. Mac-Duff, or the Secretary, H. J. Bishop, who will be glad to be of assistance.
