The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1921
Basket Ball
Basket Ball.
Basket Ball has at last come into its own as shown by the increasing attendance at our general meetings and the anxious inquiries of "Freshers" concerning it Owing to our not being able to arrange a definite time for practice this term, we are entering only one team, for the present, in the Association matches. These matches will start next term and we hope to put up at the finish the most brilliant record yet known in the short life of Basket Ball. During the Easter vacation this year the Tournament was held at Christchurch to which was sent a very efficient team, but its opponent there proved more efficient still. Perhaps it was the sea journey.
We take here the opportunity of saying that our teams have played unofficially in two tournaments and in a season's Association matches. We are therefore anxious to be soon included under the Blazer Scheme.
At the first general meeting of the year there was a re-election of officers. A good choice was shown in the persons selected.
In conclusion we have to thank the officers of last year, led by Miss Smith, for the well organised club we had to start the year 1921 with, and we shall endeavour to be as successful in our term of office.
