Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 1, No. 19 September 6, 1938

[final results]

End of the season play in the basketball world was crowded with interest. Victoria finished the winter with a flourish by beating Kia Ora in the last game. The championship had already been decided when Wellington East accounted for V.U.C. by 30 goals to 17 in a most disappointing game and then beat Kia Ora the following Saturday. That may have been the reason for the free-moving exhibition when V.U.C. beat Kia Ora 24-23. It was basketball at its best, with a fluctuating score and the cleanest of play. Victoria's form was at its peak. Oddly enough the previous Saturday they had managed only a draw with Awatea, 18-18.

The V.U.C. Senior A team finished the season with 8 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, being third out of the seven computing teams. This is a very creditable performance, and, given a fair proportion of this year's team, the 1939 team should do even better. In fact, championship honours should be within their reach.
