Throwing Down a Gauntlet

This is by way of a challenge to see whether the sporting fraternity has any initiative left around Victoria.

Many years ago, there was a sports council at VUC. It is so long ago that we can't find any records of its existence, but we think that such a body could do a great deal of good round the place at the moment.

Could we suggest that a member of the Executive of some sports club should convene a meeting of all sports club representatives to reconstitute a council on which all clubs could have a voice.

The co-ordination of effort for all clubs could do a great deal to improve the standard, of sports around the college, especially at Tournaments. The council could perhaps also give the executive some assistance in considering the merits of claims for club grants.

Anyway, there is no need to go Into a lengthy explanation of the reasons which would justify the establishment of a sports council—If you give the matter a little thought, maybe you can think up reasons we haven't found. But if some club hasn't done anything about it in a, couple of weeks, then we will arrange through these columns for a meeting to be convened. Well, what about it?—J.N.J.
