The Prospects are good for another successful tournament for the VUW athletic team at Dunedin.

Last year Victoria won the athletics taken overall. However, as there were individual shields for the men and women, we had to be content with second place behind Canterbury.

Most of those who competed last year are again available and we have several capable freshers, the two most prominent being D. Bullock, who earlier this season broke the junior record for the mile with a time of 4min 7sec. and D. Robertson, who is the present Wellington junior 440yds title holder.

A. Robinson, who was very prominent earlier on this season in the 100yds and 220yds events, will unfortunately not be available because of an ankle injury.

Perhaps the star of the team will be the national champion 220 yds woman sprinter. Penny Haworth, who may find tournament the last opportunity to enhance her chance for selection in the New Zealand team for Jamaica.

Although overhead conditions may not be favourable, performances should not be unduly affected, because the athletics are being held at the all-weather track at the Caledonian grounds in Dunedin.
