Victory

From the reports which have in concerning the teams to sent Vic. at this year's Winter Tournament al Christchurch it appears that Vic. will fl prominently in the final Tournament Sheild points. This is not all gross optimism on the part of the clubs r the Sports Correspondent, as the records of many Vic. teams in al inter-club fixtures are certainly very impressive. The experience gained from the weekly competition should prove of great benefit to all teams at Tourney.

The records of the following suggest that they will be serious contenders their respective team's events at Tourney with individuals from these teams gaining honours in the selections of N.Z.U. Teams and the awarding of Blues: Men's Hockey; Golf: Swords; Soccer Men's Indoor Basketball; and Table Tennis others teams who should be in the placings in the final totals for their sports are: Harriers; Women's Hockey and Badminton. If these teams all play up to their pre-Tourney standards, then Vic. may find herself without the Wooden on for a change,

One tiling that is obvious from .ding through the lists of team members who are .representing VI Christchurch is the number of names who were also in the teams that represented Vic. at Easter Tournament at Auckland. This reflects the low number of active sportsmen and sportswomen at Vic. and also the versatility of it small minority of students who constitute Vic's, sports reps. It must be remembered that Vic. is to be hosts for next year's Easter Tournament and. even if it ms do anything about rep resenting Vic. at Christchurch, there must be many students who could represent Vic at next year's tournament if they were only prepared to do some training in the spare time which they will have at their disposal after Exams. Only in this way will Vic. be able to "sell" the Wooden Spoon and challenge the other major Varsities for the Tournament Shield.
