ANNUAL SPORTS.

CANTEKBUBY COLLEGE WINS

THE SHIELD

The ninth annual sports meeting, held at Lancaster Park yesterday, m continuation of the series of contests j making up the New Zealand L'niver- j sity Tournament presented several | notable features. For the nrst time since the tournament was inaugurated nine years ago, one college, Auckland University College, failed to secure a single point in the championship event*, and the weakness of the northern representatives seems to bo. more proi.xiuieea than ever. Two new records were also established, the time for the 220 yds Hat being reduced from 23 tf~nh sec. put up by W. H. Moves (Canterbury College) in 1904, to 23 *2-sth sec, recorded bj- H. (hue (Canterbury College.) yesterday and that tor the 100 yds flat from 10 2-oth sec, previously standing to the credit of R. Hay (Auckland University College) to 10 1-lOth sec. the time achieved by R. Opie (Canterbury College). The shorter flat races and the ' hurdle events were all done in good ! times, but tho other performances wero only moderate. The form shown by tho Canterbury College representatives was. in the main, much superior to that <>t thn other competitors, no fewer than nine events beina; won by Canterbury College men. The result was to jp'c the College a large majority of points ever the other affiliated colleges, and thus to secure to the College the possession of tho championship shield for tho coming year. Of the 39 points possible, Canterbury College scored 19. Victoria Collect (Wellington) 11. and Otago University 9, Canterbury College seeurinc 10 wins, nine firsts and a spcortd: Victoria College nine wins, two fh-!=is aTi-1 seven seconds; and Otago University' s"ven vins. two firpt nnrt five seconds.
