"'Tain't What You do" — The visiting Australians
"'Tain't What You do"
The visiting Australians.
Under the mangaement of Les Philpott the Australian athletes acquitted themselves like men on both the athletic and social battlefields.
Sutherland showed Dunn a clean pair of heels in the sprints, but an unfamiliar climate and track no doubt adversely affected the latter. In the broad jump however he came out well to defeat Thom of A.U.C.
In the 120 yards hurdles J. S. Wilson beat Patience of Victoria but in the 220 hurdles ran third to Day and Patience.
Blewett of Canterbury defeated Brian Curtin in the 440 yards in 50.2/5sec.
Arrowsmith ran well in the 880 yards to defeat Blowett in 1.57.275.
Parkin ran third to Shaw and Kofoed in the mile.
In the Inter-University relay Australia ran second to Canterbury, half-miler Shaw being too fast for Arrowsmith.
