CHAMPIONS INVITED
Meeting On January 13
The prominent Australian women athletes. Misses Betty Cuthbert (the Olympic 400 metres gold medallist) and Pamela Kilborn (the Empire Games 80 metres hurdles champion), and the New Zealand champions, P. G. Snell, J. L. Davies and Mrs A. McIntosh, are to receive special invitations to compete in the Auckland v, Canterbury athletics meeting at Lancaster Park on January 13.
The executive committee of the Canterbury Athletics Centre decided on this course of action last night on the recommendation of a sub-com-mittee formed to arrange the meeting. The sub-committee proposed that Misses Cuthbert and Kilborn could also compete with the Auckland athletes at Nelson on January 9 and that the Nelson sub-centre and the Canterbury centre share the cost of bringing the two Australians to New Zealand.
Free Hand
The committee gave its delegates to next month’s annual meeting of the New Zealand association a free hand on the question of Olympic and Empire Games nominations. The annual meeting will have before it a remit from the West Coast-North Island Centre asking the New Zealand Olympic and British Empire Games Association to make provisional entries for all competitors nominated by the various national sports associations.
An application for affiliation by the Lovelock club, a new group of 45 members formed in Timaru, was forwarded to the national body.
