The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, October 1910

Athletics

Athletics.

The annual general meeting, held on Sept. 19th, although not over-crowded, was marked by enthusiasm, and the appearance of several new members was especially cheering. The Report showed that the Club had made considerable progress during last season, for not only had the active membership greatly increased, but the students of the College were at last coming to see their responsibility in connection with the Club, and to realise the important work that it did, in upholding the honour of the College at the Easter Tournament. We are badly in need of athletes in all events, and especially do we need representatives in the field events and the jumps.

The Inter-Faculty Contest, Arts and Science v. Law, which was won last season by Arts and Science, will be held some time in March, 1911. This contest is open to all students who have attended lectures this session, and to men who are going to attend lectures next year, and we here heartily invite the co-operation of all true "sports" in making this fixture even a greater success than that of last season.

The Easter Tournament will he held next year at Auckland, and although for two years in succession we have failed to wrest the athletic shield From Canterbury College, yet the committee is extremely hopeful that next year we shall achieve success.

In conclusion, we would impress upon all aspirants to representative honours that these three are the most important of all essentials to success, viz.: Careful preparation, consistent training, and specialisation, not only in one group of allied events, but in one single race.
