A Kick like a Mule.
Four drop-kicks in one game would make Bennie Ostler himself jealous—and yet that was "Gin" Bland ford's bag for the Senior B. match against Marist. "Gin" drop-kicked two goals from penalties and two others from the field during play. A most dangerous man with his boot, J.A.R. added another to his score with a further drop-kicked penalty against W.C. Old Boys.
Young and Good.
F. Newcombe, who this year gained his N.Z.U Hockey Blue, is playing Senior A Hockey tor the first time this season. Shrewd judges of the game anticipate a bright future for this player, who is one of the younger players on whom Varsity are banking to recover some of our lost prestige.
Best Third Team Yet.
In previous years the Third Grade Rugby Teams have been very mediocre, but this year's Third A Side is one of the best lower grade teams we have had. At present undefeated in championship games, the team, after a stern fight with Old Boys for a 3-all draw, dropped one championship point by an unusual 7-all tie with Petone.
Near the Top.
As anticipated, the V.U.C. Senior Basket Ball Nine has shown a great improvement, and at the end of the first round was in second place. Wellington East O. G. still held the lead, and in the first game of the second round V.U.C. again fell to them, losing 19-15.
Keen—and so they Win.
R. N. Josephson, wing and five-eighths for the Third A Rugby team, recently took the field in the first round game against Petone with a badly injured back, and pluckily saw the whole game out. This is an example of the keenness shown by all the members of Allan Wilton's side.
Promising Material.
That the 'Varsity Harrier Club has some promising cross-country men has been shown by recent runs. A. Murray is one whose recent efforts show great improvement on last year's form. Guy Oliver is another who is on the improve, whilst D. Holmes-Edge and Keith Reid have also caught the eye as good runners of the future.
