NOT AVAILABLE FOR SELECTION
New Zealand’s Olympic field events representative, Mrs V. I. Young, has officially notified the secretary of the Canterbury Athletic Centre (Mr I. D. Teague) that she will not be available to compete against the Russians at Lancaster Park on January 15. She was asked by the president of the centre (Mr W. A. Kennedy) to make up her mind one way or the other by Wednesday so that the
programme and publicity details could be completed. After full consideration, she decided against competing and notified Mr Teague of this late yesterday afternoon. However, she may yet make a bid for the Jamaican Empire Games. She told Mr Teague that she was still “undecided” on that issue. Her husband, a former high hurdles champion, Mr G. R. Young, will be an official at the games.
