Association Football

With Ten regular first-team members in the side Victoria has high hopes of bringing home the Tournament Soccer Shield that they were co-holders of in 1965.

Five games in three days, however, places as heavy a strain on the reserve players as it does on the first line-up. Here the selectors have chosen a mixture of youth and experience. Two promising young players in A. Mann and J. Shuker, who play in the club's Intermediate team, have won selection along with more experienced players from the club's second team, J. Noon and A. Baystring.

Perhaps the team's strongest point is its fine defence. With R, Bustard in consistently tremendous form in goal and J. Mehl, A. Mudford and R. Lungard quick and able defenders, this should be more than able to control the other university forward lines.

R. Busted and K. Too find themselves reinstated in the nzu team to play Otago and a successful tournament could well see A. Laidler, R. Howell land C. Hongladarum join them.

The team is: R. Bustard, J. Mehl, D. Reddish, C. Wakefield, A. Mudford, R. Lingard, I. Glisic, W. Groves, A. Baystring, J. Noor, A. Laidler, C. Hongladarum, R. Howell, K. P. Too, A. Mann, R. Shuker. Manager. R. Kerr.
