Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 5, No. 2 April 23, 1942

Hockey

Hockey

The first combined practice for the 1942 season of the men's and women's hockey clubs will be held in the College Gymnasium on Thursday, 23rd April, at 7 p.m. These clubs are two of the strongest in the College and all freshers who are interested should come along to the practices which are held weekly on Thursdays. Many of our finest players commenced their hockey careers at the College so there is every opportunity for beginners.

The men's club will not be able to enter as many teams in the competition this year as is usual owing to the large number of members away on active service but nevertheless it is confidently expected that it will remain one of the strongest clubs in the competition. Six members of last year's Senior "A" team, including the captain, G. W. Shaw, and vice-captain, Dr. E. Raine, have indicated that they will again be available and a number of other promising players from last year's teams will be playing while considerable talent is available among the freshers who have joined the club.

Altogether the position of the club considering the present conditions is considered very satisfactory but new members are required and freshers are urged to join up.

The following awards for the 1941 season have been announced:—

Hain Stick (for the most improved new player): P. Froome.

Dixon Trophy (for the best all round team): Senior A Team.

B. B. Hands, Hon. Sec.
