The value of a certain amount of hill work as part of a cross-country runner's training has been fully recognised by the clubs in Christchurch, and four of the six trails on Saturday took the packs on to the hills. Although several of Canterbury's best runners were away taking part in the Teihuka to Timaru road race, the standard of performances at most of the club runs was remarkably high, and the pace in some cases faster than usual. The University and Presbyterian packs both started from Dyer's Pass road. University had one of the hardest runs of the season over a S^-mile

course that did not really leave the i hills at all. The Presbyterian packs 'confused their trail with the one laid : bv Christchurch Club from Valley road Both Presbyterian and Christchurch went over the hill-country netr 1 the championship course in Hoon Hay. : The Methodist Club, running from ! Beckenham, headed straight for the | i hills following a good course about six miles long. The Anglican and i Baptist Clubs both ran from Avonside, taking in rough country about the I Avon river and in Bromley. Although entries officially closed on Saturday for the Halswell cross-coun--1 trv race, none of the clubs has defi- ; nitery selected its teams yet. i i UNIVERSITY.
