Winter Tournament

For the past fortnight energetic negotiations have been in progress for a Winter Tournament to be held here in Wellington between the four Universities in men's hockey, harrier, women's hockey and basketball.

The men's hockey club will definitely be holding a tournament as Auckland University hockey club and Canterbury College hockey club have already accepted our invitation. As yet no word has been received from Otago, but it is hoped they will follow suit. The hockey section of the tournament will be one of the best seen for many years, as Auckland, Canterbury and Otago are the champion teams in their senior competitions. Victoria is exceptionally strong this year and our hopes are high. The harriers have some very promising runners and have already had success in a three-quarter mile race. The basketball team is much stronger than last year and so is the women's hockey team.

It is hoped to have a Tournament Ball, an event which only comes to Victoria once every four years. The clubs who are endeavouring to pull this tournament off want all students to join in and make it a big success. We will want, more than anything rise, billets. Try to help us out. Everyone who can possibly take a billet please do.

Lists will be posted on the notice board and students who are willing to take a billet please put your name and address on them.

Everyone do your best and keep the green and gold flying. The proposed dates for the Tournament are the 14th, 15th and 17th May, which is during the second week of the first term holidays. It is not very far off, so raily round.
