Victorious Victoria

The Victoria College Table Tennis Club has two teams in the Wellington Association's competition—one in C grade and one in D grade. The latter was demoted to D without trial, and first results indicate that the Wellington Association could well have taken the advice of the V.U.C. club secretary about the team.

The C grade team which beat the grotesquely-titled Colbeal team on 31st May in the Gym. was composed of Peter de la Mare, Ray Hannan, Allan Smith and Art. Stone. These four carried off a twelve-nil victory. The opposition was weak, so the writer cannot gauge this team's strength. On the following night, the D grade team played Onslow Playing under the Association's strange system of scoring for grade D downwards, V.U.C. won 15-5. That result speaks volumes for this inexperienced team, two of whom have not played in harrowing matches. It was composed of Bob Vance, Mac Grinlinton, Ash Couper and Ivor Ting. Another match and a bit more practice together in doubles should see this team on top.
