Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 22, No. 10. September 14, 1959

Shooting to C.U

Shooting to C.U.

In the shooting, five men in each team shot six cards each over two days, and only the four top scores in each team were counted.

Canterbury, winners of the I.C.I. Shield by four points, found it hard to distinguish between their five crack marksmen.

Phil Collins dropped only one point and seven inners in the Shield contest, and Peter Stock, dropped one point and only four inners but was penalised for shooting on the wrong target, and the team won with 2390-215 out of a possible of 2400-240. Both Collins and Stock deserved their N.Z.U Blues with scores of 799-71 and 798-72 respectively out of a possible of 800-80.

Victoria, whose J. Ruddick (with 799-62) was awarded a N.Z.U. Blue, were second with 2386-184.

Otago Disappointment

Otago, hot favourites with two N.Z.U. Blues and two other experienced shooters, were disappointing.

The outstanding performance was that of Fresher Ian Craig, who notched a 598-54—2 points and 6 inners down—to be selected for the S.I. and then the N.Z.U. team.

Denis Middleton, an N.Z.U. man, after dropping four points in three cards, recorded altogether in Tournament six possibles.
