Hockey.

The outstanding event of the year, as far as the Hockey Club is concerned, is the annual tournament scheduled to take place here on June the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Auckland. Canterbury, and Otago Universities are each sending a team of men and one of women. For some time it was very doubtful if the other colleges would be able to enter women's teams, but at present all intend to be represented. The southern people will arrive on the morning of the 2nd. So far the Aucklanders have not notified us of their arrangements, but they will probably arrive on the limited a few hours after the others. V.U.C. teams always have a rattling good time at the other Centres, so, as many as possible are asked to turn out to welcome the visitors. N.B.—Don't forget to bring your car.

With regard to billeting, everyone, whether a " hockeyite" or not, is invited to lake in a guest during the tournament. As only 70 odd billets are re quired, you are. urged to get in early to avoid the crush.

Four games will be played by the men's teams at Newtown Park on the 2nd and 3rd, and on the 4th a selected N.Z. University team will meet a Wellington Provincial eleven. The girls' programme is slightly different, as they are playing their rep. match on the 3rd and their tournament finals on the 4th. The N.Z.U. Hockey Council will meet on some day during the tournament.

Apart from sundry dinners, etc., the main social function will be the dance in the Gym. on Friday, the 3rd, this promising to be the best turn-out of the year. (And the supper! Another fruit salad, Helen—gentleman's order!)

Getting down to the main object of the tournament. it is probable that the Seddon Stick will come to Wellington, as our first eleven is in great form (I suppose that by the time this number is printed the Seniors will have had their fourth consecutive loss). As for the girls, well, you should see them f raining.

However, best of luck to both teams.

By the way (with apologies to 2YA), training for the Club is held in the Gym. every Thursday night at 8 o'clock.
