Senior—A.

The excellent start in the club championships made by our team was maintained, and we have annexed the Senior Championship. This is the first time 'Varsity has accomplished this since before the war. In the inter-Varsity tournament we were not so successful, being runners-up to Otago University. We lost by 3-2, after a splendid game. Massey, Frazer and Simpson, gained places in a New Zealand University team which played Wellington and won 2-1.

McLeod, Massey, Paul, Sykes, Simpson and Frazer, were chosen to represent Wellington at various times.
