Over three hundred students competed in the first winter sports tournament organised by the four New Zealand Universities and two Agricultural Colleges, which was held in Dunedin. Visiting students were met by the University band, haka party, and officials at the station, while they were later welcomed by Dr. C. Focken and Mr. D. Foord, vice-president of the OUSA and chairman of the tournament committee.

The games schedule was as follows: Hockey (men and women), Association Football, Men's Basketball, Table Tennis, Fencing, Harriers, and Golf. The tournament shield was won by Otago by a comfortable margin, Canterbury being second, with Victoria University third.

Victoria made its best showing with Harriers, Table Tennis and Association Football. Their Hockey showed lack of practice and team work, while in the Golf they were hopelessly out of class. Perhaps the brightest spot in the tournament as far as VUC was concerned was its Fencing teams' effort. Fencing as a sport has only begun this year in the College and their fencing was of a reasonably high standard. Sir Joseph Ward was president of the bouts and at the conclusion of the contests recommended S. Cathie (VUC) for a College Blue.

Otago turned on a great show and, in thanking them, we hope we shall be able to provide an even better one when Winter Tournament comes our way.
