Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 25, No. 6. 1962.

Water Polo

Water Polo

The water polo team distinguished itself well with a total of 50 points for and 7 against, winning all games. However it was only through having trained and played competitively throughout the season which brought about this victory, because, as the failure to win the Bendigo Cup relay showed, the Victoria team did not possess the fastest swimmers.

The five Victoria men who were selected for the North Island Universities team were: A. Griffiths, P. Hatch, M. Kerr, P. Perkinson and M. Sladden. All of these, except M Kerr got into the N.Z.U. team which lost to Auckland 6-4. A. Griffiths was awarded an N.Z.U. Blue.

Next year, Easter Tournament is to be held in Wellington. A repeat performance in swimming and water polo will be likely, especially with callisthenics again this winter and continued inter-club competition in the summer.
