Still Time for Sport.

The spectre of debts and possible repudiation crops up everywhere—in Chile, last of all—and it is hard to avoid a subject which after all affects the world's bread and butter. But there are other things—for instance, Olympic Games. At a time when cash is scarce, good athletic material seems to be plentiful—at any rate, in New Zealand—and the result is that this Dominion sends more than a cricket quota (even more than a football quota) of athletes to Los Angeles. The number of athletic contenders is given as 24, and that apparently does not include Lovelock, the Rhodes Scholar from Otago, who, being now at Oxford, joins New Zealand's Olympic team from the other end. Following on his inclusion in the team, Lovelock broke the three-quarter mile record at Stamford Bridge.
