Table Tennis

Table Tennis

This year's team is a fairly strong one. The captain, K. Wood, is a forceful attacking player, while Bill Greenless is a ex-Wairarapa rep. The doubles combination will be Brian Phillipps and Trev. Levy, The two girls selected, Joan Robbins and Phyllis Levita are playing their first season of competitive table tennis.

Ski Tournament is not an official part of Winter Tournament yet, but as the number of colleges competing has grown to four (OU, CUC, CAC. and VUC)), the way is now open for it to be officially included in 1948, especially as NZUSA has approved of the award of Blues in ski-ing.

The original apparent dearth of ski talent has given way to what we consider a team of reasonable capabilities. The contest will be held during the first week of the vacation at Queens-town, with OU acting as hosts. Victoria's team consists of four men and two women, all of whom are timed once over a downhill course and twice over a Slalom (a zigzag to the uninitiated).

Victoria's team consists of: Women, Pat Bates, an accomplished skier from Massey; Margaret Salmond, another pinch, a final year med, from Otago. Men, Roy McKenzie, who performed very creditably at last year's National Champs; Jack McDonald (captain), rapidly recovering pre-war form; Malcolm Mace, who began ski-ing at the age of ten; and Bruce Milburn, who will try anything once.
