Although Victoria remained in its customery position at the bottom of the scale, there were encouraging indications that the standard is improving here, the number of place-getters having been greatly increased over last year's. Vic's place-getters were, in the men's events, R. Irwin, second in 440 yards; P. Joyce, first in 3 miles and second in 1 mile; M. Ulyatt, third in 120 yards hurdles; L. Saugagu, second in javelin throw; F. F. Duncan, first in discus; and D. Usher, second in the long jump. In the women's events Cherry Pointon was third in the shot put and the 4 x 110 yards relay team was also, placed third.

P. Joyce, F. Duncan and R. Irwin were selected for the N.Z.U. team for the test against the visiting Australians. All performed creditably and Irwin won a blue for his part in breaking the New Zealand record by three seconds in the 4 x 440 yards relay.
