MEETING AT RUGBY PARK

CANTERBURY SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

Recent rain left a moderately heavy track at Rugby Park on Saturday for the Canterbury senior athletic championships.

Herman won the shot put, javelin, and discus, and was second in the hammer throw. In the last stages of the mile, J. Oakley (Technical) issued a determined challenge to T. A. Davis (Air Force) and had the crowd on their toes when he beat him narrowly in the best finish of the day. A, K. Cochrane, a sturdy competitor from Crichton Cobbers, ran well to beat his team-mate, K W. Taylor, in the 100 yards, and C. S. Kernahan showed ability to finish a long, fast run with a short and fast sprint, when he beat F. Mair, the pacemaker throughout, in the three miles race 'Abbreviations used in the report are:— A.F.
