Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 1, No. 15. July 13, 1938

[introduction]

Both the men's and women's hockey competitions were suspended on Saturday on account of the visit to Wellington of the English Women's hockey team. At Basketball, the Senior team had a bye. The leading V.U.C. footballers were engaged in a trial match between Senior A. Second Division, and Senior B representative teams, the ordinary competition games in these grades being postponed. For Harriers there was the important Vosseler Shield race, in which 'Varsity fared none too well.

At the Hockey Tournament at Dunedin the Men's team did fairly well. A victory was gained at Massey's expense, and drawn games were played with Canterbury and Auckland. Otago defeated us 7—3, and we also lost to the Otago B team. The Dunedin men won the Men's section, with Auckland second. Victoria tied with Massey for third place. Three Victoria men, S. Braithwaite, W. Johnston and F. Newcombe, were included in the N.Z. University team that went close to drawing with the Indians. Otago also won the Women's section, with Auckland runners-up. Victoria was a bad last, scoring only one goal in the whole Tournament.
