SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1936. Volume 7. Number 11.

[introduction]

In the most thrilling final for years, Victoria won the Men's Hockey Tournamnet and the Seddon Stick by defeating the holders, C.U.C., by one goal to nil. It was a magnificent match and a well-deserved victory. Every man in the team played like a hero, and "Smad" was scarecely restrained from dashing on and falling on Shaw's neck when he scored the winning goal. Superior combination among the whole team and the unorthodox defence, together with the fact that V.U.C. maintained the offensive continually were the deciding factors in Victoria's success. C.U.C. put up a valiant fight. Their efforts to penetrate the defence in the last few minutes of the game showed their dash and determination. They were not beaten until the final whistle blew, and Victoria's supporters relaxed after what were nerve-wracking moments of tension.

Altogether a brilliant display of hockey, particularly as both teams had already played a hard match in the morning. In the semi-finals, C.U.C. beat Massey 4-2, and V.U.C. beat O.U. 3-1.

The Women's Tourney was won by O.U. with an unbeaten record.
