Defence Rifles

The shooting team has lost four of last year's record-breaking team. But team members, after practicing regularly, are confident of keeping the Haslam Shield in Wellington for another year.

Team captain and N.Z.U. sharpshooter is Graham Ward, a 1959 Victoria Blue.

A dark horse, but one a great deal is expected of, is fresher Alan Walker.

Veteran social shooter is Tony Knight, a N.Z.U, representative last year.

Two team members, Bruce Mansell and Pete Bennett, just missed making last year's team and are all out to avenge their omission.

Another veteran, from Canterbury University, is Phil Collins. A one-time Blue, he turns in a good performance when not suffering from acute 'Tournament Hangover.'

Last place is being shot out by Noel Ashley and Ian Hoggard, another veteran from C.U.
