Rowing

A fine spell of good weather at the end of a good season has given the rowing bods a new impetus for the preparation of tournament crews to get well under way. This year there will be a good programme of events as the Tournament Regatta is to be held in conjunction with the inter-provincial regatta on Easter Saturday morning, the following races to be held:—
  • 10a.m.: Inter-Prov. Eights. 21 m.
  • 10.30a.m.: Inter-Varsity Fours, 1 m.
  • 11 a.m.: Inter-Varsity Eights, 2 m.
  • 11.30 a.m.: Inter-Varsity Double Sculls. 1 m.
  • 12 noon: Veterans' Eight Race, [unclear: 1] m.

Our Eights crew will include two or three new members who should bring success to themselves and to the College, particularly Jack McLaurin, who won a Blue rowing for Otago last year, and Dave Horsley, who has recently been rowing for Union, Wanganui.

At the Christchurch Regatta recently, Jack Smith and Brian Hansen were successful rowing in fours, and Don McLcod, sculling with W. Hillock, of the Star Club, narrowly missed a win the Double Sculls.

Who will reach this dizzy height this year?
