Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 5, No. 4 June 17, 1942

Senior "A."

Senior "A."

After three games the Seniors had no difficulty in making the Jubilee Cup Competition, and in spite of lack of weight and experience in the forwards, have move than held their own so far. For two weeks running we were the main attraction at Athletic Park, scoring a good win over A.A. Battery and a very meritorious draw with the powerful Army XV. Eight of our men were out of action against Athletic on Saturday, but the promoted Juniors fought buck well, and might quite easily have pulled the game out of the fire in the last 20 minutes.

Skelley started badly, but in each of the last three games has been the best back on the ground. Swinburn has given him good support, and their defensive work is excellent. Harris and Caldwell, despite lack of weight, have proved themselves against the best opposition. MacLennan, Eade, and Johnson have worked well in the tight, and we have the best loose forward in Wellington in Murphy. He must surely be a certainty for the Wellington Reps.
