Olympic Games EQUIPMENT FOR N.Z. TEAMS
Manufacturers’ Offer To Association
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, Sept. 15.
The New Zealand team to the Olympic Games at Rome next year would leave at least as well equipped as the team that went to Cardiff, Mr C. R. Moore told the half-yearly meeting of the New Zealand Olympic and British Empire Games Association tonight. Mr Moore, who is president of the Manufacturers’ Federation, said every manufacturer in the country who previously gave equipment to the association for the Empire Games in Cardiff, would be pleased to do the same again. The team would need more clothing this time than before. They would need warmer clothing when leaving New Zealand and cooler clothing in Rome. Mr P. N. Robinson, who is a member of the committee which Mr Moore convenes, displayed to the meeting a sample of a New Zealand-made track suit the association was considering for the team. It is made of sail-cloth and lined with fleecy interlock. Mr Robinson said the colours in the suit would not run.
