G. F. Dixon Trophy.

N.Z.U. Cross Country Championship.

Originality and good taste are expressed in the trophy presented by Mr. G. F. Dixon, president of the V.U.C. Harrier Club, for annual competition between teams in the N.Z.U. Cross Country Race. A solid kauri plinth is surmounted by a silver top on which stands a silver five-barred gate (symbol of harriers universal), bearing the seal of the University. On the sloping front of the plinth a silver oval is engraved with a scene from the inaugural event last year-five runners in the storm at Moa Point with hills and sea for a background. The engraving is taken from an actual photograph of the race, and inscribed "Lyall Bay 1934." Above is a shield with "N.Z.U. Cross Country Championship," while a silver strip on the turned base allows for annual inscription.

This fine trophy was handed over by Mr. Dixon at morning tea given by him to the Auckland and Victoria teams before leaving for Christchurch. It has now, however, journeyed south with the victorious Otago team.
