Victoria drinkers superior

Victoria drinkers superior

Salient Reporter

Victoria Drinkers again showed their superiority in the Horn. They were clearly the best team at Easter Tournament, though the final was a close finish.

Otago took second place, with Canterbury third.

This win in Easter Tournament confirmed the overall higher standards of Vic drinking habits. Wins in Christchurch at Easter Tourney '65, in Wellington at Winter Tourney '65, and seconds in Dunedin at Easter Tourney '66 and in Auckland at Winter Tourney '66, give Victoria a clear lead in the Horn history.

This was reflected in the number of blues that went to Vic drinkers this time. Pour out of the six came to Vic.

Ian Barwick did well to add another blue to his already large collection. Rick Carlyon also performed wellhe notched his first blue.

Victoria holds the record for the team drink. This was set in 1965 and stands at 4.8 seconds. That's really moving to down six eight-ounce beers in relay fashion.

It takes only one visit to the Midland on a Friday night to see why Vic does so well in the Horn. it will also suggest that Vic will continue to dominate this "sport of gentlemen."
