UNIVERSITY HARRIER CLUB

Sixteen members attended the University Club's annual run from Rona Bay to Pencarrow on Saturday afternoon. The first pack to start, run especially for visitors to the club, made a steady, but easy, pace out along the hills, Perry and Clare from this pack being the first to circle the lighthouse. Descending then to the beach most of the men completed' the round trip by returning along the coast, a few turning back over the easier track by which they came. Rochiel and Perry led for a considerable distance along the beach with Viggers and Farquhar steadily moving up to join them. Horsley, Reid, and King, who had made good time on ■ the outward journey, found the homeward stretch much less to their liking. Certainly the sharp rubble and sand of the miles of beach are hardly suited to harrier shoes, and after the clean openness of the sunlit ridges, the cold shadow of the cliffs in the gloom of a winter afternoon is not a contrast that makes for good training or enjoyable running after such a long distance has already been covered. . Most of the club appeared | fairly fit, and the men were able to ; judge their abilities for the ten-mile j trial on Saturday next.
