Tennis

Although a great many of the Club's members are now overseas, the season has been both a good and a successful one.

Opening Day Tournament, held on September 21st, and Freshers' Tournament, held on March 8th, were the usual successful functions.

Owing to the reduced number of Club members, only three teams were entered in the W.L.T.A. Inter-club Competitions. As it was, the two men's teams were often difficult to field. The first men's team and the second women's team came up against some stiff opposition and were unfortunate in many of their losses.

The Inter-Varsity Tournament provides the brightest spot of the season for the Tennis Club. After many practices at Miramar the following were chosen to represent V.U.C. at Easter: Men—R. W. Baird, J. M. Cope, R. Larson, J. Brown, Ladies—G. Rainbow, N. Marshall, P. Monkman, B. Marsh, G. Macmorran.

After the first day's play on the Saturday, V.U.C. had a number of finalists and semi-finalists. Play was not resumed until Thursday, because of rain, and even then it was on the Paekakariki courts. The only titles won were the Men's Doubles by R. Baird and J. M. Cope, and the Men's Singles by J. M. Cope, and we congratulate them both.
