Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 27, No. 12. 1964.

[introduction]

In less than a week's time, Auckland is to be invaded by a stalwart band of warriors (and warrioresses), robed in green and gold and armed with hockey sticks, golf clubs, badminton racquets, epees and sabres, and spiked shoes-cum-knuckledusters. Quarter may be asked, but never given, and wooden spoons will be avoided like the plague.

Victoria will have a full team in each of the 13 sports catered for by Winter Tournament. Nobody seems to expect this university to win the tournament shield after last year's debacle, but at least three sports have "Victoria" written all over them—fencing, hockey, indoor basketball—and if all concerned make a mighty effort the other universities may get the shock of their inanimate lives.
