Visiting Athletes

Visiting Athletes

In March-April of this year, a team of athletes representing Australian Universities will visit New Zealand and will compete against the Universities and representatives of the main centres.

Athletes the world over will acknowledge that a University representative is a force to be reckoned with, and students "Down Under" are exceptions to the rule (irrespective of what people may say at our Victoria's effort at tournament). In New Zealand three of the current champions are students. The Provincial Champions in Wellington are Varsity; in Auckland, Varsity is in the top three clubs; in Christ-church the same; in Dunedin, despite the lack of numbers during the summer months and vacation, the University Club can still put up a creditable showing.

Thus the contests between our athletes and the Australians will result in the finest meeting seen in this country for some time. The Australians will be in Wellington From 28th March until 31st March, and will compete against V.U.W.M.A.C. and the Wellington provincial team on Saturday, 29th March.

It is Victoria's job to find billets for the visitors, and at the present lime all is not well in this respect. If any student could billet an Australian would he or she please contact Peter O'Brien via Common Room Letter Rack or Exec. Office letter rack.

Our Need is Urgent. Please Help. Thank you.
