Athletics Improvement

Judging by performances at the Inter-Faculty sports last Saturday, V.U.C. will be represented at Tournament by a much stronger athletics team than was the case last year, when we were able to gain only three of the twenty points allotted.

It will be recalled that we fared badly at Auckland in swimming, boxing and athletics. The swimmers, in fact, failed to secure a point, while the boxers gained only one and a quarter of the ten to be won in their sphere. For Dunedin, however, swimming prospects are much better, and a useful band of boxers has been selected.

The athletics team will be chosen during the course of this week. Our three N.Z.U. title-holders, E. M. Irving, D. R. Scrymgeour and C. V. Adams, are again certain of inclusion. At last, too, there is ground for hope of success in field events. Inter-faculty showed that in this department, so weak in the past, Victoria will be represented by some good men.—L.B.S.
