Harriers

Harriers

It is likely that 1953 will see V.U.C.'s first harrier win at Winter Tournament. The Club has produced brilliant Individuals before and well balanced teams but not, gince before the war the combination of these two which is necessary to carry off the Dixon Trophy.

Dick Gilberd may find the well-drained course round One Tree Hill less to his liking than some of our local quagmires but even so should be right at the front of the Held.

John Malan, Who has quickly Struck form after being troubled by a weak ankle for most of the season, gave an indication of ability in effortlessly winning the B Grade Provincial Championship in exceptionally good time.

Colin Candy is running consistently and should he regain the form which put him in the Canterbury provincial team last season he would be in the running for one of the major places: even on his present form he should finish well up.

Tony Gow has realised, after three years of harriers, that the only way to achieve results is to do a little training, and Auckland should witness his best performance yet.

Tim Beaglehole is running more consistently than last season, and should finish much further away from the tailenders than at Christchurch.

Bob Croker, after a bad start to the season, has steadily improved and has only to get a little more life in his running to be up with the leaders.

This team has the ability and has done the training necessary to turn on a really good performance. Every member could and should finish in the first dozen. Whether they will only the race can show.

Congratulations to Exec. members Elaine Foote and Trev. Turner, both of whom celebrated their 21st birthdays this week.
