INTER-VARSITYCONTEST
REPORT , circa 1972
The following notIce appeared in the Union
Recorder,
15 June 1972 Vol. 52 No. 12 .
INTER-VARSITYSURFRIDING
COMPETITION
Host was Sydney Uni who conducted the competition
from Manly to Palm Beach, and some excellent competition was witnessed,
especially between the two universities - U.N.S.W. and Sydney - closely
followed by Newcastle. The standard was very high and the students from
all universitiies were a credit to their respectIve unIversitIes.
The judges were of international class,
being involved in the National C:bampionship the week before, and~ spoke
very highly of the competition.
Full credit in organisation must go
to Geoff Carter (sic) who dedicated his time to makIng the whole
week a huge success.
Mr Thor Sevenson (chief judge) wrote
in a letter to the University: :
We very much enjoyed being associated with all of you;
we made many good friends and our impression of
Australia's young people went up many notches.
..The conduct and manner in which all universities approached the surfriding
competition brings an arguementt to Inter-Varsity competition when you
consider most people only think of the social side, whereas this competition
was the opposite - no social,but straight out trying to win, by all the
comtestants (sic).
Final results:
I. U.N.S.W. 81 1/2
2. Sydney. 71;
3. Newcastle 67 1/2;
4. ANU
621/2
5 Monash 46 1/2
6. Macquarie 321/1
7 Latrobe
30
.8.Melbourne 261/2
