SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1937. Volume 8. Number 6.

Dear Sir,

I note that the recent tournament issue of "Smad" contained no reference to the victory by V.U.C. in the 1937 Haslam Shied contest.

This omission is unfortunate for two reasons.

In the first place, students in general desire to know how the several Clubs acquitted themselves in the tournament contests. Students, however, may judge for themselves the value of a paper which faithfully reports six of the seven sports comprising tournament, but wholly disregards the other.

In the second place, I would point out that a victory such as was recently ours in Shooting is regarded by the winning club as a legitimate excuse for rejoicing inasmuch as students are thereby encouraged to become members.

Why the Basketball and Rowing Clubs have had their victories adequately reported, to the benefit of their membership, while a corresponding victory by the Defence Rifle Club is allowed to pass without any notice at all, is more than I can satisfactorily explain.

My Club's Well-deserved win could have been an important aid in recruiting of members had equality of treatment been accorded to all the College Clubs taking part in the recent tournament.—I am,

Yours, etc.,

J. B. C. Taylor, Hon. Sec., V.U.C.D.R.C.

(It will be noted that the report referred to above appears elsewhere in this issue.—Ed.)
