Victorian Form

Scrymgeour, N.Z.U. 3-mile record holder, was convincingly beaten by Rowberry in the three miles and by Rowberry and Dunlop (Massey College) in the mile at Inter-Faculty. These men will [unclear: prohably] be well placed against Ellis if Canterbury and Turbett and Jones of Auckland.

Hocquard's long jump at Inter-Faculty would have set up a New Zealand record if he had been entered in Junior competition. He will meet strong competition against Norm. Thom of A.U.C., who has been consistently jumping about 22 feet this season, and W. V. Hadfield, of Lincoln.

If Canterbury can find a strong quarter miler to replace Blewett their relay team will be well nigh unbeatable, but lack of a quarter miler may cost them the event.

Summing it up it seems as if about two-thirds the field events will go to Otago and that the Auckland team may scoop the broad jump, two of the hurdle races and the hammer. Victoria should win the sprints and perhaps the distance events and Canterbury should be strong over the middle distances, the mile walk and the relay.

Amongst the well-known University athletes who would have been here but for Hitler are Graeme Kofoed and Don Gillespie of Auckland, L. G. Brown and N. B. Hansen of Canterbury and Hugh Ramsay of Otago, and J. S. Adams of Victoria.
