The performance of Victoria's tennis team this year at Easter Tournament was well below their usual standard, indeed it well lived up to our whole tournament standard. It is a long time since Victoria failed to collect a title and this year apart from the men's doubles final where Goodwin and O'Connor took four games convincingly in the second set, they never looked like so doing.

The play of the girls was disappointing being far below that of the other Universities. Nancy and Rae Turner did well to win the first double but were not just good enough for the Kitson sisters who were unfortunate to miss recommendations for Blues. After a win in the first single Nancy Turner was unable to match the driving of Jean MacGibbon, high ranking Canterbury intermediate player.

Avis Reed did not quite seem up to standard in the singles but she played well in the combined doubles with Jack Walls. The keen and exuberant Misses Ilott and Webley were rather out of their class, but another season's play may well find these two knocking at the door.
