Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 4, No. 5. June 6, 1941

[Sport editorial for Salient Vol. 4, No. 5. June 6, 1941]

Varsity sports teams are suffering from a general inexperience and youthfulness in their numbers. But if this loses a few games; it is not a bad complaint, for it will be largely overcome by the solid training that club coaches are insisting on. The Men's Hockey Team found it hard to settle down in the Auckland Tournament, but they haven't been doing badly in the local games. The Women's Team is potentially a good one. No doubt the holiday break is largely responsible for the defeat of the Basketball Team on Saturday at the hands of Wellington College Old Girls in the Senior A and Y.W.C.A. in the Senior B.

The Rugby teams promise to have a good year, and the Seniors have not been defeated in three games. Soccer players unfortunately have gone into retirement, but the Trampers and Harriers definitely have not, and the Table Tennis Club has already-begun its activities in the gym.
