Australian University Championships
The Wills Trophy for Men's Scull

The sculling championhsip did not have a strong start with two entrants for the first year, a row over in the second, two scullers and a wide margin in the third year, a break of competition for the next seven years and no consistent competition until 1952. However the champions of this event have included many of Australia's best scullers.
