In Memoriam

When valiant deeds are sung and heroes-praised

In silent grief we shall recall their name Men whom Victoria taught, and Weir cooks raised,

Sent forth with blaze of trumps to win their fame.

For the strong in the field,

The splendour of noon,

To the victors the shield

—To Victoria the spoon.

When victory and defeat no more are told. In Christchurch bars their prowess still will ring;

And Southern maidens growing sere and old Remember them by many a little thing. Oh, why did they yield,

Despairing so soon?

To the victors the Shield

—To Victoria the Spoon.

Our players showed the benefit of the morning's match play. Brilliant shooting in goal, notably by Joan Watson, combined with splendid defensive work by the whole team, with Mary Mules outstanding, had A.U.C. badly rattled at times. We congratulate C.U.C., to whom Mary Mules will be a decided acquisition this year, on their first win at basketball for eight years. This was scored against O.U. by 10-6 in an extremely fast game.
