Rowing

For several years now, Victoria rowers have been shaded by the Canterbury men, and, alas, it'll probably be the same this year. Even Auckland seems to be getting into the act. However, Victoria has one of the Tokio rowers, plus some members of the Wellington provincial squad, so there may be a surprise or two.

The rowing venue is Charteris Bay, in Lyttelton Harbour, a little difficult for spectators to get to. If the weather doesn't behave, the races will be held on the Avon, which may prove a little cramped. Not to worry—the Avon isn't very deep, and no drownings should occur.

The team is: C. Boyack, I. Carnell, J. Gibbons, G. Guthrie, J. Neas, W. Noakes, J. Pope, D. Williams, J. Winton, P. Wear.
