The Spike or Victoria University College Review 1934

Rowing

Rowing.

Early in 1914 the inclusion of Rowing in the Tournament was suggested by Otago, but the idea was received without enthusiasm. From time to time the question was again raised and several unofficial races were held up to 1932, when the first race under Tournament rules was held at Wellington. The only official race in which V.U.C. entered a crew was that of 1932, won by C.U.C.

Due to the generosity of the Misses Heberley, students of V.U.C., a handsome shield carved in the Maori tradition by their father, Mr. Heberley, was presented in 1930 for competition in the Inter-University College Eight-oared Boat Race.

In 1933 and 1934 it was impossible to borrow a boat, but a boat has now been purchased and V.U.C. will again be represented in the race at Dunedin next Easter.
