Inter-Faculty Athletics.

On Saturday afternoon, the Inter-faculty meeting was held at Kulburn Park. After the rain of the previous day, the track was heavy and this is shown by the slow times. Some good prospects for next year have been brought to light in particular Ekdahl and Bowyer, both of whom will improve.

The best race of the day was between Bowie and Milner of C.U.C. Bowie won by two yards in 16 secs., excellent time inthe circumstances, and should take the 120 yards hurdles title.

No outstanding performances were shown in other distances. The 100 was won by Bowie in 11 1-5 secs; the 220 yards by Freeman in 24 1-5 secs., a good time on the day. The 880 yards by Black in 2 mins. 5 secs., the 440 yards by Oram in 56 secs., and the mile by O'Connor in 4 min. 47 1.5 secs.

These do not give much hope. Boot will monopolise the mile and half mile, and Watt of O.U. will be a difficult man to beat in the 440. However, if Clarke, who pulled a muscle on Saturday, runs, there event.

Birks won the walk easily, andis probably another winner for Easter.

In the field events there is a great lack of talent, and it seems as though V.U.C. willbe hard pur to find an entry. The winners of the shot, discus, andjavelin are noteligible, and with Hackett and Brainsby in the jumps, it seems as though we're in the mud as the classics have it.

In the 440 hurdles and the three miles, Anderson of C.U.C. and Robinson of O.U. will be hard to beat and V.U.C. does not look like a winner in these events.

Unless something extraordinary happens, V.U.C. will win that wooden spoon outright. We dislike this pessimistic air, but frankly, the timesand distances speak for themselves. However, we can put our faith in the representatives to do their best and our parting thought is to wish them plenty of luck.
