The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, October 1913
Third Fifteen
Third Fifteen.
v. Wellington College. Lost, 3—14.
Scorer, Tennant. A fast, open game.
v. Athletic. Lost, 0—21.
Two short. No details available.
v. Hutt. Lost, 0—20.
Again no details.
v. Oriental. Lost, 0—20.
In spite of score, this was a good game. Ellis and Mel-drum played well.
v. Melrose. Won, 9—5
Scorers were Tarrant and Rodwell. Dobson kicked a fine penalty goal. Yet the skipper says the game was disappointing.
v. Wadestown. Won by default.
We did enjoy the seven-a-side game, though.
v. Old Boys. Lost, 0—5.
College played in their very best form this match. Greville played a sound game right through, while Ellis's brilliant defensive tactics are still the talk of the team. This was the last game of the season, and though we can claim nothing but a series of defeats, we always tried to give our opponents "a run for their money"; we hope for better things next season.
