Novice Race to Cairns.
Run over the sams course as last year, the 'Varsity Harriers' Novice Race went this year to D. Cairns. He was followed by C. H. Coup, second, and J. Y. Dixon, third, at well spaced intervals. Cairns ran a fine race, improving last year's time by eight seconds.
Sound Last Line.
Miss Nancy Webber, the last line of defence in the V.U.C. Women's Hockey Team, had a great deal in do in the Tournament, and so capably did she acquit herself that she was given the same position in the N.Z. University Women's Hockey Team. That makes this little lady a N.Z. University Double Blue. Congratulations, Nancy.
Showing Better Form.
After winning the Tournament, the V.U.C Basketball Team were expected to do great things in the local Senior Championship, but commenced by losing the first two games. Changes in the side were partly to blame for this, and the team has evidently settled down again, for they have now had two wins, the one against Waacs being by lo 28 to 2.
Ill-Luck with Injuries.
Ill-luck so tar as injuries arc concerned has dogged Jim Jenkins, 'Varsity Harrier. Last year Jim was handicapped by an injury, and a re-occurrence of the old trouble threatens to keep him out for the rest of this season. As Jim is one of the keenest members of the Club, and has done a great deal for it since its inception, we hope his stay on the bank will not be too prolonged.
Showed Splendid Anticipation.
H. F. Bollard, captain of the Hockey Eleven at the Tournament, was in fine form. According to Christchurch Press reports the V.U.C. skipper excelled in anticipation, and was a tower of strength to his side. His generalship was also favourably commanted upon.
In Top Form.
Jack Ruru centre for the first fifteen, is right back in the form of two season's ago, when he gained a place in the New Zealand University Side to Australia. With any luck at all Jack should land a place in one of the Representative sides this seasone.
All-Rounder in Form.
H. "Snowy" Williams, who has represented the College in Hockey, Cricket, Football, and Boxing, added another feather to his cap when, at the Hockey Tournament, he gained his N.Z. University Hockey Blue. "Snowy" is showing his best form this season, and well deserved the distinction.
