Rowing Club.

There was a large and enthusiastic attendance at the Annual Meeting of the Victoria University Rowing Club, held on Thursday, 20th September.

The executive officers elected for the coming season are:—

Club Captain—H. M. Mcintosh.

Secretary—D. F. McLeod.

Treasurer—McWhinney.

Committee—J. F. Eggers, G. Milne, W. M. Will's. This was the biggest meeting held since the Club came into existence in 1927, and was due no doubt to the increasing interest shown by students since we purchased our own eight a few months ago.

The chief object of this article is to remind University men that the greater part of the rowing season takes place during the long vacation, and that the necessary condition for rowing at the Easter Tournament can only be got by settling down to consistent training during the summer months. The "eight" for Tournament is not yet picked, bill the selection of the final crew will be determined in large measure by the fitness and enthusiasm shown by Club members during the early part of the season. You can't row a three-mile race on a month's training.

The Committee has in hand proposals for the establishment of our own Club-house. Those men who are not members of rowing clubs are urged to get in touch with the Secretary, who will advise them of the arrangements made for their special benefit to enable them to get actual rowing experience during this summer. Do it now before your brain gets befogged with "swot." Don't run the risk of missing a chance for the Tournament at Dunedin next year.
