The Spike or Victoria College Review October 1930

Athletic Club Notes

Athletic Club Notes.

To All to Whom this Notice May Concern: Greetings! Be it Known to All Men that the Athletic Club is holding its Annual General Meeting within a day or two and that it behoves all true men to be present at this gathering of Olympians.

Be it Further Known that the rumour that the Club had decided to cater for lady athletes is false and malicious, and that if anyone is heard uttering such rumour he or she will be guilty of a felony without benefit of clergy.

The Club! wants Your support. Give it!!

The Club! will give You an opportunity to earn a blue—

Take it! So watch the notice board for the Annual General Meeting, and join the Athletic Club!

It does not matter whether you can just beat the proverbial tortoise. Remember Achilles! (he could do the "quarter" in about 48 dead). He couldn't even catch one!

The Club will teach you! (I was going to say show you, but I am very modest.)

Here are some Facts worth knowing. The Aethletic Club has now a qualified trainer, and an assistant especially to advise new members.

The Club contemplates making numerous trips to Masterton, Levin and Pal-merston North, in which any Club member may participate.

Athletic "Blues" are not necessarily awarded to tournament representatives, but rather to those members who run constantly during the season. The Club specially wants "new blood in field events and a respectable walker is almost assured of a trip to Otago next year.

Al though actual training may develop into a grudge after the first two or three weeks, it is well worth your time and trouble. It will keep you in fine condition, and further, you will be helping your College in swelling the number of 'Varsity successes.

Apart from the various trophies presented by the different clubs at their meetings, the 'Varsity Club is the proud possessor of four handsome cups for competition amongst Club members. One of these cups is for the most promising junior member and is well worth training for.

There is one further matter I would like to draw to the attention of prospective members. If you want to have a good season's sport this summer you will get no better than by joining the Athletic Club and running for Victoria College.
