The annual championship meeting of the Old Grammarians' Amateur Athletic Club will be held on Saturday on the Grammar School grounds. A full programme of senior and junior events will be decided. EMPIRE GAMES. ENTRY TOO EARLY FOR N.Z. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. Suggestions for selecting Now Zealand athletes for the British Empire Games at Sydney in February. 1938, were offered at a meeting of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association. It was decided after a long discussion to communicate with the Australian authorities pointing out the difficulties of selection and asking for a postponement of the date of entry. The secretary, Mr. H. McCormick. said the list of sports and events in which this country would be represente'd was required to reach Sydney by October 31 and selected teams by December 31. Late entries woulll close on January 22. 1938. Mr. H. I. Austad said there was little opportunity of selecting a New Zealand athletic team by December 31. but if the New Zealand championships were put forward two months, to the middle of January, a team could be selected immediately afterwards. Mr. F. S. Hill suggested that centre trials be held in mid-November, followed by the North and South Island trials, and later a final. Possibles V. Probables meeting. The council had previously made the mistake of selecting a team on the basis of one meeting. Mr. L. A. Tracy' said there was no reaxon why the championships should not be held in December. Centres, should be advised that tho council proposed to hold the championships oil December 10 and they should be asked to hold either their provincial championships or trial meetings before that date.
