Monday was overcast. However, we were out again at 2 p.m. and Vic. athletes made their mark in most finals. Lance Leikis ran into third place in the 100 (time, 10 seconds—that of the winner). Then Joe Pope whipped over the 3ft. 6in. hurdles to gain second place. Time, 15.3 sees. (.1 sec. outside N.Z.U. Blues time). Mark (Alf.) Harris produced his best ever time in taking Vic's third title in the 400 yards hurdles (time, 57.8 sees.). Not up to other years certainly, but outstanding for a fourth attempt at the race. This was a popular success with the team. Janet Davies had by now run second in the 80 metres hurdles, beating last year's winner Ailsa McDonald.

Meanwhile, over by the beaches Lloyd Clarke and Andy Apeaki, the strong men in the team, had gained second in the javelin (approx. 180ft.) and third in the shot putt (approx. 40ft.) respectively.

Janet Davies (again) topped off a magnificent day's athletics with a second in the high jump (4ft. 10in.).
