Probably the most gratifying feature of Tournament from our point of view was the improvement in athletics. We retained the tennis shield/ and again had the best basketball combination. In boxing we won the middleweight and heavyweight titles, but in rowing our experienced crew was beaten into third place. The swimmers once again emerged pointless. We had a close contest with Otago in shooting, the Dunedin men just prevailing.—L.B.S.
