Canterbury Scoop the Pool

They came here with the Tournament Shield and the Tennis Cup. After a brief stay—and we hope pleasant—they left with the Tournament Sheild, the Tennis Cup, the Haslam Shield, the Boxing Shield, the Hebberley Shiled, several athletic records and an achievement never before equalled in the N.Z.U. Tournament. With possibly one exception, namely the Tennis, there was no question of luck—they won convincingly. We salute you, Canterbury.

V.U.C. again gained the insignia of the losers-but only just. We'd have missed those spoons anyway.

That Tournament was a success there can be no doubt. The competition was keen, the competitors in many cases outstanding. Perhaps the race that will be remembered will be Boot's half. To make such a time on a track never really fast says much for his quality.

Of the friendships formed and the ideas exchanged, time alone will show. In the years to follow, Tournament will always linger freshest in our memories. We of V.U.C. can only hope that our visitors enjoyed the Tournament 1936 as well as we have enjoyed theirs.

Although an improvement on Dunedin's blizzard of the 1935 nothing better than a typical Wellington summer day. Another day like Easter Saturday wouldhave seen even more records broken.
