The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1921
[Introduction]
"If all the year were playing holidays,
To sport would be as tedious as to work."
—Shakespeare.
The 17th Tournament, held at Christchurch, was favoured with glorious weather, and many of the events provided keen contests—chiefly the competition for the Athletic Shield, wherein Victoria got home by the narrowest margin possible. The honours were well divided, C.U.C. getting the Joynt Scroll, O.U. the Boxing Shield, A.U.C. the Tennis, and V.U.C. the Athletic Shield.
