Harrier Prospects.

The standard in the Harrier Club is again high this year, with Scrymgeour the most outstanding performer. He is proving a consistent runner throughout the season, and is managing to ward off his tendency to go stale. Whether he can win the individual title at the N.Z.U.C.C.C. is a matter of some speculation, as the other Colleges have one or two new champions as yet untried in Inter-University racing. Cairns is running quite well, although his frequent absences from Wellington have not allowed him to partake of very intensive training. Burge is running very well and is capable of even better when he becomes more experienced. He has certainly done remarkably well for a first-year man, in running into third place in club races. Horsley could do with more training. His performances in the Dome Cup and Vosseller prove that he has the necessary stamina for a first-class runner. However, his swotting has apparently been the cause of his laxity in turning out at night for training.

Of the freshers, the performances put up both on club runs and races and also at training, by O'Flyrm have been outstanding. O'Flynn has been probably the most enthusiastic runner in the club, and has shown the greatest improvement during the season.

Bagnall has been very disappointing this year. He has all the qualifications of a runner, but shows great indifference as regards training. Farquhar, too, is a runner of whom one could expect more if only he would train a little harder. He has the material in physique, but appears lacking in energy. Porter is doing fairly well, and is maintaining his standard of previous years.

As previously stated, the uncertain form of some of the new runners in the other teams, makes it a very difficult thing accurately to gauge chances, but it is considered that Victoria will field a set of runners equal to any she has yet had, and that means that the winners will have to fight hard with V.U.C. for first place

In conjunction with the Championship, there will a dinner at the Empire Hotel (price 5/-), and the Harrier Club will welcome anyone looking for a good food and a convivial evening.

'The Committee would also like to add a plea for billets for representatives for three or four day Co-operation along these lines can be furthered by means of the rack.
