ATHLETICS.

INTE-R-'VARSITY SPORTS. The inter-Varsity sports at the Domain to-morrow promises to provide excellent competition anions the most prominent New Zealand athletes. In the 100 yds anil t 220 yds events the meeting of Terry, of ; Auckland. Tracy and Whitehead, of Vlci j rorla College, aud Porritt. of Otago, should be most interesting. In the N.Z. chainI plonshtp. Perry hail a shade the better of | Tracy, but since then both the latter anil ' I his college mate. Whitehead, have Im- ; proved, while Porritt, the Otago 230 yds champion, is n factor to tie reckoned with |at these distances-. The quarter-mile, j which Tracy won last year in 525, should be ,' a lively race, for Griersou, of Auckland, and Black of Canterbury, have both run close to Tracy's time recently. Orierson. . last year's winner of the half-mile. Is run- ' ning well over the distance, but in Page. 'of Canterbury, who recently went the ; course in 2m « l-ss. be will have a tough ■ j opponent. Moore, of Wellington, and j Webber, of Auckland, are expected to proI vide a ding-dong finish for the three-mile j race, while MeCormick, of Wellington. 1 should Also be handy at the end of fihei race. The high jump should go to Bncfc- [ hurst, of Canterbury, who has recently got ; over sft Tin. Ills (strongest opponent. Lintott, of Auckland, has a knee injury , which will possibly prevent iblm from I doing more than make an appearance. In the long jump, hoth Perry (Auckland) and , Buckhurst (Canterbury) have done between i 21ft and 22ft. and their meeting is being ' anticipated with interest. 'Charters (Auckland) and Harkness (Otacot will he close i competitors for third place. Kingston, j the Otago champion, and McLean, of Auckland, both have performances of over lOOfl ] for the hammer throw. The mile walk 1 will prohahlv go to Pase. of Canterbury. In the 120 yds. hurdles Buekhnrst, of Canterbury, ami .lackson. of Victoria College, . have nearly equal times, while Porritt, jof Otago, is expected to run well. Jackson's recent figures in the 440 yds hurdles indicate that he will pull off this event, •hut MoMiken and Maekereth <Otago). and Malfroy and Colder (Canterbury) are likely to make a fine race of It for second place.
