It appears that this year V.U.C. will field a team with strong chanees of winning the tennis cup.

In the women's team, Anne Walker and Judy O'Brien make a formidable; smiles entry. Anne won the N.Z U. title in 1950 and has played in Wellington's Nunneley Casket team for several years. Judy O'Brien is playing in her first University tournament and should give an excellent account of herself. She was New Zealand Junior Champion in 1951 and as well as being a good singles player is a very good mixed doubles player. She and Don Robinson will play together and will be a hard pair to beat. Anne Walker and Lois Holland have had two seasons together as a doubles combination. A win over Wellington's top Nunneley Casket pair in an interclub match this season, shows that they are capable of beating the best from other colleges. Audrey Wellwood and Barbara Haldane are new members of the team and are expected to uphold the other end of the doubles draw.

In the men's singles Don Robinson and Bal Reddy will be V.U.C.'s hopes. Don has been playing excellent tennis this season and is a great asset to the team. He is an experienced player although this is his first University Tournament. Bal Reddy and John Hutton should combine well as top men's doubles pair and wil1 be well supported by Bill Tolhurst and Trevor Bacon on the other side of the draw.
