Vic did no worse than was ex-pected. Most of the teams were unavoidably weakened but, still performed, in general, either up to or down to expectations. The drinking horn team was so weakened—we suppose by too much previous practice—that it failed to turn up to contest the teams events. Nevertheless, the honour of Victoria was uphold in the individual event by Mr Ormiston Collins who for his prowess was rewarded with a N.Z.U Drinking Bib.

Our most notable success was in Soccer, but a surprising placing was a second for golf, an activity about which little has been heard around Vic. In table tennis the team did as well as was expected to win the teams event. The Drama Club too lived up to their expectation that their play should go down well with a Tournament audience and gained third place. It was in debating that the greatest and the most unexpected upset occurred. More on this below. At the Council meeting it was decided that the next Easter Tournament would be at O.U. and the next Winter Tournament at Auckland.

The most noticeable defect in genera) was that the teams were not teams. The men's basketball team was composed largely of B team members but even this did not excuse the general lack of team work in their efforts. The women's indoor backetball team also did not play as a team. The women's hockey team again was composed of players who had played with each other for only a brief time before the game. Many of the other teams were in a similar state. The fact that many of the best players were not able to attend Tournament might excuse the standard of the results but it should not be used to excuse the always lamentable and often revolting team work. Most of the teams were fit—the men's basketball team for one could not have continued playing with no replacements and often only three or four men on the court if it had not been fit—but the fact remains that most of the teams had not been sufficiently well trained as teams before they left.
