We Train and Train

Despite unreasonably long hours during which athletes were awake and making merry. Vic. athletes were certainly not disgraced. Besides being a congenial set of travelling companions the athletic team gave a preview of things to come by turning out, almost to a man, at a 7 a.m. run on the Friday. No other Varsity (not even Otago) made use of the facilities which were available on Friday and it was gratifying to see our boys pounding around the track.

Most of them got to bed reasonably early on Friday night and Saturday dawned clear and fine. Saturday's programme consisted mainly of heats but in the finals contested, Janet Davies won the long jump with 16ft. 10½ins., L. Clarke won the discus 127ft. 4ins., and A. Howard gained second place in the pole vault with 10ft. 6in.
