TEAM SELECTIONS
On the same day as; the junior race, the Timaru officials are staging a race for senior teams selected as possibilities for the Canterbury championships. This race is 'to be run as a. teams' race, which fact gives the selected captain the responsibility of bringing his team home first. Apart from this, it appears that this is the- most efficient manner of running the race. There are many difficulties that may crop up, which ever way the selection race is run, but if the team is to run as a team during the championships it should be picked from a teams' race. •• . ■
If the proposed team selection race in Wellington is run as an individual race, it is a matter of ' doubt as to whether the best team men will be prominent. On the other hand, it is most likely that club-mates or former championship, team-mates will run together as a matter of course, making up a team of their own. As. the only interprovincial harrier races are teams' races, the soundest method is to pick two or even three teams for the selection race, and race them against one another just as the football possibles and probables are played against each other.
