Athletics

The performance of P. Joyce in winning both the one mile and the three mile events, and creating a new record in the latter was creditable: his wins were convincing and well-merited. The performance of Shirley Thompson in winning the 80 metres hurdle also is to be commended. Following are the breakdown of events in which VUC gained places:—
  • Women's 75yds: E. Crisp 3rd.
  • Women's 200yds: E. Crisp 2nd.
  • Women's Discus: P. Barraclough 2nd; J. Young 3rd.
  • 4 x 110yds Belay: Victoria 2nd.
  • Invitation Shot-putt: P. Barraclough (V) 2nd.
  • 1 mile: P. Joyce 1st (Time 4 22.8).
  • 3 Miles: P. Joyce 1st; O. Stevens 2nd (Time 14 49.2).
  • 4 x 440yds Relay: Victoria 3rd.
  • 1 Mile Walk: I. Lyon 2nd.

Final points in the Men's Athletics were: Otago 81; Auckland 54; Canteerbury 28; Victoria 17.

In the Women's Athletics: Otago 40½; Auckland 22ft; Victoria 16; Canterbury 0.

Thus Victoria came last equal with CUC in the Athletics, both with 3 points in Tournament shield for Athletics.
