Tournament Late Reports
Basketball
A Bewildering spectacle of quick passing, dodging and diving, and skilful control of the ball, were all to be seen at this year's basketball tournament. This year the girls really excelled themselves with their lightning moves and tricky passing. However, in spite of this, Otago emerged victorious with Massey, Victoria and Canterbury all sitting Jealously on second place.
In the first day's play Victoria won its first two games against Massey (23/18) and Auckland (24/22). On the second day of play Otago took the shield by efficiently beating Victoria (31/14).
Congratulations go to Mesdames Gough Wright, and MacDonald for being selected to play in the North Island team.
The Victoria girls, although not exactly dominant in the session, played basketball they can be proud of.
Tennis
Congratulations to all the tennis players who represented Victoria at this year's tournament.
As several members of the other university teams said, the Victoria men's and women's teams were head and shoulders above the rest both as teams and in individual performances. All in all it was a satisfying tournament which spoke in itself of many hours of practice.
It was encouraging to see throughout the tournament Victoria teams with comfortable margins make their way into the finals.
In conclusion special mention should go to J. Borren who in the finals of the men's singles championships beat J. Martin of Canterbury 7/5 to win the title.
