Round the Track

At 2.30 we adjourned to the Domain to witness the Athletics. The position at this stage was V.U.C. 15¼ points. Auckland 6 1/2. Otago 6¼, and Canterbury 6. Even now we felt that with so many points possible going to another College in Athletics and Swimming, V.U.C. might even yet be robbed of victory.

But the Athletics showed that Victoria was not entirely without talent. Adams performed well in the sprints. Irving in the hurdles, Scrimgeour in the three [unclear: m] Given a dry track Scrim might well have made new figures for the three miles race. These three, apart altogether from minor placings, split the points effectively. When the usual brawl or hooley for college mascots had brought the proceedings to a close, they were divided very evenly between the four Colleges: Otago 7. Canterbury 6. Auckland 4. Victoria 3 and the wooden spoon.
