Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 2, No. 10. June 14, 1939
[introduction]
There was a good muster of the remaining members of the club for their run from the 'Varsity gymnasium, twenty-one members running in two packs. A course of six miles was followed along Kelburn Parade, down Devon Street and up Ohiro Road to Brooklyn. The runners then took to the hills and struck down a gully, encountering much muddy ground en route. A return to the starting point was made via Happy Valley Road.
In the fast pack Powell ran well throughout, and in the run-in he was first man home, closely followed by Henderson. The slow pack, with McLean as leader, kept a good pace, all the runners performing quite creditably.
