Women's Hockey Expectant

Women's Hockey Expectant

The following players will represent VUC at Winter Tournament:—

Nancy Fyfe and Quona Turner will be the wingers and have played sound hockey throughout the season. Bice Young (right inner) and Vivienne Rich (centre-forward) have worked up a good combination and are both playing well. Margaret Ross from the Senior B has been playing good hockey as a forward, and her inclusion in the team as left-inner is quite justifiable. The mainstay of any team is its half-line, and it is hoped that VUC's half-line will give the necessary support to the forwards. The wing-halves, Joy Jowett and Francis Fyfe, deserve their selection, and Julie Flett (captain and centre-half) should give a good account of herself. Doris Kilmer from the graduates' team will also strengthen the half-line. The full-backs, Suzanne Ilott and Janet North, have played consistently good hockey and should prove to be a solid defence. Colleen Murphy has proved to be an outstanding goal-keeper and is expected to produce good form at Tournament.

With two freshers and several players in their first year at senior hockey in this team, it will probably lack the experience of those of the other Colleges. However, it is very keen and is expected to play bright and good hockey.

1946 delegates to the Joynt Scroll Contest to be held at Winter Tournament, Kevin O'Brien and Dick Collins, are both experienced debaters. They are taking the negative against CUC on the subject "That Social Security Is loading to the ultimate pauperization of the people."

This year's winner of the Plunket Medal for oratory, Kevin O'Brien has also the Union and New Speaker's prizes, for gaining the greatest number of points in College debates, to his credit. With Roy Jack last year he represented VUC in Joynt Scroll, but they were unsuccessful.
