HALF-MILE CHAMPION.—One of Canterbury’s most promising middle distance athletes is J. Gordon (Marist), who holds the provincial half-mile title which he won in 1min 57sec. Last season he distinguished himself over 880 yards and the mile but left the impression that he had not reached his full potential. This year, with the visiting Russian team as a challenge, he could well produce his best form yet. He is shown above winning a recent 880yds at Rugby Park from J. D. Macdonald.
