New Zealanders Overseas.

One sports administrator who has not forgotten his visit to New Zealand is Captain Evan A. Hunter, honorary secretary of the British Olympic Association, who toured New Zealand with the British athletic team two seasons ago. In a letter to the writer he expressed the hope that: “Jack Lovelock will have a nice time—I fear Jean Batten has rather taken his thunder—still she, too, is marvellous, and New Zealand should and no doubt is very proud of both. Give Jack my regards, and tell him not to have too many oysters, or drive trotting horses at Christchurch as I did—and enjoyed doing!”

Captain Hunter is also secretary of the Dominion Students’ Athletic Union in England. New Zealanders are prominent in this organisation as the notepaper reveals. The President is A. E. Porritt, M.A., M.Ch., F.R.C.S. One of the honorary vice-presidents is Hon. Sir James Parr, while J. Lovelock and M. McG. Cooper fill two of the three vice-presidential chairs. Cooper was selected as captain of the Oxford University Rugby team against Cambridge this year. Lovelock is secretary of the athletic committee, W. E. Henley, secretary of the Rugby committee, and J. E. Giesen the secretary of the Lawn Tennis committee.
