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
