Victory in Sight

Victory in Sight.

On Tuesday the Tennis decided the fate of the Tournament Shield and brought the meeting to a close. The faint chance of winning the Shield which we had secretly nourished since Saturday had grown bolder in expression and by the time the Tennis began on Tuesday morning we were fairly confident. Our confidence in our Tennis team was fully justified. They placed the issue clearly beyond doubt. With all the finalists in the men's singles and men's doubles V.U.C. men, the women's singles gone to Elizabeth McLean, and Pat Edwards and Marie Fletcher in the final of the women's doubles, we were at last placed in an unassailable position at the head of the Tournament Shield aspirants. It seemed too good to be true. Victoria, the Cinderella of New Zealand Universities, had wished a wish, and it had come true.
