Harriers

Harriers

There was little extraordinary about the run from Island Bay, though the number of plates of cake left on Mr. J. O. Shorland's table indicated that to-day's runners hardly live up to the old-time standards. The following Saturday found us mistily investigating the muddy bogs in the Makara Valley, and we have it on good authority that three times over the Makara ridge is enough for anyone—always of course excluding Frank O'Flynn. Last Saturday we ran from Miramar; and though a number of Brooklyn runners joined the fast pack, only Colin Dickie managed to keep the pace set by the six 'Varsity leaders.

Form for next week's Club Championship is very hard to pick. Frank O'Flynn and Dick Daniell will be right out to win, but Ally Sinclair and Ralph Fenton are both running magnificently. Ted Dorman and Pat Anderson are both good over country, while on a dry day Gif. Rowberry will be up with the leaders. Also competing for one of the six places in the team to contest the Dixon Trophy in August will be Ian Morton, Ian Henderson and Peter de la Mare. There is no doubt that the race will be one of the most interesting in the history of the V.U.C. Harrier Club.
