Salient: An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 12, No. 5, June 8th, 1949.

The Lower Grades:

The Lower Grades:

Junior A: Like the Seniors, and one might almost say, because of the Seniors this side has yet to win a game, though it has drawn once.

Last Saturday should have seen the first victory for the team, especially in the forwards, showed that, given luck and opportunity, it will win marches.

Junior B: This team, little inferior to Junior A, has won a couple of games, and lost the others by narrow margins. Better backs are the pressing need—not only in this team but throughout the whole Club—and until these are found the record is not likely to improve.

Third A: The Colt XV, containing the best of the fresher talent have yet to have their line crossed, having scored 57 points to 6 (two penalties) in their four games. They have 8 games to go to beat the record of last year's 3A team, which kept its line intact for 12 consecutive weeks; but still could finish only second equal in its grade. It is easy to prophesy, but the least that can be expected from this team is a high place in its grade at the end of the season.

Third B: This team has not yet realized its capabilities and should do better as the season progresses, but up till now lack of fitness, and the weak tackling have lost several games. Still, the regular attendance which the members of this side make at practices should soon result in a greatly improved performance.
