Personalities and Performances

G. a. murray. Varsity's back row forward will spend this year at Ardmore Training College. This is a severe loss to the senior XV. He was perhaps the most underated player in last year's successful team. V.U.C. loss is Auckland's gain.

Malcolm McCaw's 93 recently was certainly an eye-opener to many. Forty-three runs in 32 minutes is fast scoring. Regular attenders at cricket practice would not be surprised when House heckling has often turned McCaw from the most sedate of batsmen to a veritable tornado.

Lester Jackson has hung up his football boots for good—doctor's orders. Lester was one of Varsity's most promising five-eighths. His reliable hands and football brains were an admirable combination for an inside back. Gameness made up for his lack of size.

Dave McHallich has proved a good talent scout for V.U.C. cricket. Through his efforts A. Mahon. J. Martian and T. Bayer all of Rongotai College have joined the local club. They are a very promising trio.

Victoria may have its first "A" Grade table tennis team in history this season. Rumour has it that A. Darroch. A. Robinson. D. Murple all formerly of Te Tapu Club will be playing for Victoria this year. Bryce Jones who would have made the 4th member of the team (N.Z.U. title holder and V.U.C. sole table tennis blue 1952) is unfortunately not taking lectures this year. Bryce as club captain last year was an enthusiastic member of the club. He was also the main factor in V.U.C. swamping table tennis Victory at Tournament last year.
