The Spike or Victoria University College Review 1931

[introduction]

Hold on with bull-dog grip and chew and choke as much as possible.

A. Lincoln.

The Committee can look back on 1931 as a very successful year. Although no team attained championship honours, all were keenly enthusiastic and attended practices regularly.

Senior A.—The following represented in the Senior A Grade:—M. Line, E. Soden, I. Morice, P. Quinlin, M. Patterson, K. Wood, J. Dunn, Z. Lowrie, P. Dennehey, V. Wilson, D. Martyn-Roberts (Capt.).

The Senior A team did very well this year and there were great hopes of it carrying off the championship. At the end of the 1st round it was second on the list, being only 1 point down to Wellington East Old Girls, the last team to be played. The second round was successfully negotiated till the last match, when W.E.O.G.'s again defeated our team. We would like to congratulate W.E.O.G.'s on winning the championship.

In the Tournament held on June 3rd the Senior A team lost their first two matches and finished third. The following received their Blues for 1930:—M. Line, I. Morice, P. Quinlin, K. Wood, E. Hardy, J. Dunn.

Misses M. Line and D. Martyn-Roberts were chosen to represent Wellington in a challenge match against Auckland on July 11. Miss Martyn-Roberts was unable to travel. Miss Line was chosen again to play in the return match.
