Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 8, No. 7. June 13, 1945
[Introduction]
Bathed in Palmerston North sunshine, a hockey team from VUC comprising Senior A and B players met Massey on Monday, June 4th. Led by ex-team mates of Victoria, Doug Yen and Johnny Nicholls, Massey downed the Vic. side in a closely fought and spirited game, 5-4. Scores for Vic. came from Ivor Ting (2), Norm Towns and Bill Moody. Massey proved that hockey at their college is rapidly regaining the standards of pre-war days and that they will be a force to be contended with at Tournament this year.
Our congratulations go to Doug. Yen and his merry men for a very fine performance. Massey hospitality was up to its usual high standard and we were royally entertained at a dinner and dance on Monday night. There was a full programme of activities and nary a dry moment was spent. Sir Percy and the ladies would not have vowed the dance second to Capping Ball.
Our sincerest thanks go to Professor Perrin, Mrs. Clausen, Massey hockey club, Massey dance committee, the umpires, and all others, who did so much to make our trip such a success in every way.
Professor Perrin, speaking at the dinner, commented on the fine spirit in which the game was played and this was endorsed by the umpires. This factor is symbolic generally of the friendship existing between the two colleges.
