The VUC Badminton team at Tournament was unfortunately relegated from its title-winning status of 1954 to bottom position at Dunedin. The team failed to score a win losing to Auckland 6-10, Canterbury' on points and Otago 5-11. The two top men. Jim Thomson and Graeme Kussell, again swept everything before them, the women played well and won as many matches as they lost, but unfortunately the two men in the lower bracket did not live up to expectations.
Thomson remained unbeaten and put up a very creditable performance In the NZU and was again unlucky not to win an NZU Blue. Kussell was also selected for the NZU team.
The following VUC com petitors won NZU Blues at Dunedin:—
- Diana Fussell (Fencing).
- Ysabel Corkill (Miniature Rifles).
- Ralph Salt (Men's Basketball).
- Peter Carver (Golf).
- Alan Robinson (Table Tennis).
"Salient" extends its congratulations to each of these outstanding University sportsmen and sportswomen.
