MEETING AT RUGBY PARK BRILLIANT WIN BY N. F. ANDERSON With most of the leading Canterbury runners at the Empire Games, only casual interest was shown by spectators and contestants alike in the sports meeting at Rugby Park on Saturday afternoon. In the senior mile, J. Daly (Marist), former Canterbury three-mile champion, was beaten by R. McLean (Canterbury University College), who won in 4min 42sec. The promising junior, N. F. Anderson (St. Bede's), won the 220 yards hurdles in his usual perfect style in 27.8 sec, which was a second faster than K. Loader’s time in the senior event. In the junior mile, J. Kyle (Marist) returned 4min 33sec, nine seconds faster than the senior time. Abbreviations used in the results are as follows:—Pres. (Presbyterian), C.U.C. (Canterbury College), Mar. (Marist), Tech.
