Tournament . . . — Golf Admitted

Tournament . . .

Golf Admitted

A Part from the discussion on the question of first-year students being allowed to compete in Easter Tournament, the only other sporting matters to be included on the agenda at the Easter A.G.M. of N.Z.U.S.A. were the inclusion of Golf and Badminton on a permanent basis. The discussion on Badminton began when V.U.C. moved that it be admitted with full Tournament status. A.U.C. moved an amendment to the effect that it be included for a trial period of three years, during which time the competitors would have to find their own billets and finance The difficulty of finding billets was the main argument ill favour of this amendment, which was carried by six votes to four.

A.U.C. moved and O.U. seconded a motion that Golf be admitted to full status for Winter Tournament 1954. Messrs Sherring (C.U.C.) and McCaw (V.U.C.) then expressed themselves unhappy for various reasons, one of which was the growth of Winter Tournament, which seemed to be getting out of hand. After the President had asked some colleges why they had not rend the past history of this matter, the Sports Officer (Mr. K. Phillips), ponied out that Golf had been in the Tournament unofficially since 1945, except for 1918, and had always been exceptionally well conducted. This motion was finally carried giving golf lull status for a four-man team, with points for the shield of 6. 3 and 1.

Other sporting remits passed were the Institution of N.Z.U. Blues for Water Polo and Badminton, the reaffirmation of N.Z.U.R.E.C., and the re-election of Mr. A. D. McKenzie as a member of the Blues Panel.—N.Z.U.S.N.A.
