Sporting teaser

Prominent Canterbury sports identities, mainly of the present day but some of the not too distant past, feature in today’s sportagram. A member of “The Press” sports department, Bob Schumacher, has tried his hand in concealing the names of 30 Canterbury sporting person-, alities involved in a wide range of sports in the accompanying grid. Entries for the contest will close on January 11. All correct entries received will go into a draw, the first five entrants to receive gift vouchers valued at $lO. Results and the names of winners will appear in the sports feature page on January 16. The words are hidden in the sportagram in a random manner and may appear horizontally, vertically or diagonally. They can be read from left to right or from right to left, and up or down.

Some letters may be common to two or more words. Each word has a corresponding clue and, when located, it should be ringed neatly with a

ballpoint pen and listed to correspond with the number of the clue. Entries should be addressed: Sportagram, C Sports Department, Private Bag, Christchurch.
