N.Z. Sculler “Dark Horse”
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) LONDON, Sept. 9. New Zealand’s sculler, M. P. Watkinson, had profited from European experience and could be a “dark horse” at the Olympic Games, “The Times” rowing correspondent said. He was discussing prospects for next month’s games in Tokyo. He said Australian rowers probably lacked competition and their best chance appeared to be in the eights. The Germans at the moment appeared to dominate rowing, with the strongest opposition coming from Russia, Denmark (coxless fours) and Holland (coxless pairs).
