University Sport

University Sport.

There seems little doubt, that the record of this University in its Sporting World should be better. For a University gaining the cream of the province's talent from the Secondary Schools it is rather strange that the College should have such a poor record as in the immediate past few years

The Year 1928 was admittedly a boom year in Victoria College Sport, and a year that will live in memory. 1929 was scarcely less successful. But since then the College's record has slipped—that is from the results point of view.

Many are of the opinion that the Secondary Colleges are not producing the men of the calibre of a few years ago; that the Colleges are no longer the training grounds of Athletic champions but we cannot subscribe to that view. There is nothing new in that view-point—past champions are always the greatest.

However as in all sports institutions at one time or another, several Victoria College Clubs are in a period of change. The Champions of the past few years have just dropped out of the various sports and the youngsters who have been compelled to take their places are not as yet sufficiently experienced in the first grade to be consistent enough to win. There is no need to worry; Victoria College Will come again.
