SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1937. Volume 8. Number 10.

[introduction]

The game against Athletic showed up vividly the weak points in the College First XV. There was a decided weakness in the line-outs, on very few occasions the ball being won by Varsity. It was compensated to a certain extent by the fact that scrummage honours in the first spell were even and in the second, Athletic won seven to Varsity's four—good hooking against a tough team. Failure to tackle low gave Athletic many points, and this should be remedied. The team seem to start brilliantly, then fade out, with a short revival at the end of the game.

Varsity Women's Hockey has been very weak this year, and t is understood that difficulty has beer experienced is getting players. It is very problematical whether this Club has justified grants from the Students' Association. The Men's Club is apparently very active, and good work is being done by members of the senior team in coaching junior players.

The senior Basketball team win consistently, and they are to be complimented on their performances. It is a pity that a few of the teams in other Varsity sporting activities could not take an example from them. . . .
