[By Eistol.]

_ FIXTURES. December 11 and 18.—Otago Centre (N.Z.A.A.A.) evening sports meetings, Caledonian Ground. December 14. ~■ Otago Centre (N.Z.A.A.A.) scratch sports meetings. .Caledonian Ground. January 22, 29, and February 5. Civil Service Club championships. February B.—Otago track and field championships, at Caledonian Ground. February 28 and 29.—New Zealand track' ‘ and field 'championships,- at Carisbrook RETURN TD FORM SIMM AU6TIN WHHS WELL There is an old saying that “ they never come back,*’ but George Austin, well-known distance runner, has other ideas on the subject. George was one of Canterbury’s best middle-distance jnen some eight or nine years ago, and represented Canterbury at the New Zealand track and field championships He was also a prominent cross-country man, and represented Canterbury at the New Zealand championships. He was off the track for some years, hut when he came to Dunedin 18 months ago he took up athletics enthusiastically pnce more, and made a brilliant come-

back, meeting with many successes on the track in distance events last summer.” He followed this up by registering: some very good performances in cross-country events during the winter, and in the modified marathon race recently: he put up fastest time. Running in the mile at the Otago Centre’s evening meeting last Thursday night,, Austin ran-a very solid race to win. from the-55yds mark in 4min 35 2-ssec.' .On Saturday he finished third in the mile A grade at the scratch meeting, but the last part of the distance found him wanting. He is rapidly striking his best form, however, and at the evening meet especially was stridingout very freely, and showed a very determined finish. He should again have a very successful season. Austin has done a great deal for amateur athletics, especially in Canterbury, where he played an important part in the revival of harrierism in’that centre. He was also secretary of th© Canterbury Centre at the time'it commenced its policy of reconstruction, and at the present time he is secretary of the Caversham Harrier and Amateur Athletic Club. ' SUCCESSFUL FIELD ATHLETES SOME GOOD ALL-BOUNDERS Good all-round ability as a field athlete is shown by F. Wheeler - , of the Civil Service Club, who won the discus throwing handicap at the evening meeting last Wednesday, and also accounted for the A grade javelin throwing event at the scratch meeting on Saturday. .Wheeler sent the discus a distance of 94ft 10in, and the javelin 136 ft lin, and if he concentrates on tho throwing ® events has a reasonable chance of reaching provincial championship standard this season.

Another very promising ‘ all-round field athlete is J. H. Ramsay, of the , Caversham Clubj who won the hop, step, and jump handicap on Thursday night with a triple leap of 43ft 7in, and at the scratch meeting on Saturday accounted for the long jump with 19ft 9in in the A grade, being second also in the ’A grade 120yds hurdles, and placed in' one or two other events. Ramsay has it in him to be a firstrater, both as a long jumper and in the hop, ‘step, and jump, and he would be wise to concentrate largely on these events.

R. O. Johnson showed that he retains his form remarkably well, for he did 43ft at the evening meeting in the hop, step, and jump event, though he did not seem so free as usual. He did over 19ft for second place, in the A grade long jump at the scratch meeting, and was also placed in several other field events, as well as taking

second place jn the C grade 100yds. Johnson is still one of the most ver-

satile and capable all-round athletes in the Dominion, and he is likely to again notch points for Otago at the New Zealand championships.

Attention ,to stylo is bringing-about noticeable improvement in the performance of Peter Souter, of the Anglican Club, and his 95ft lOin for second place in the discus at last Thursday’s evening meeting was quite a good effort. _ It should not be long before he is sending the discus well over 100 ft.

While on the subject of field athJack Anderson deserves special mention. If only he would take his events_ seriously he would have great possibilities. He won the A grade shot at the scratch meeting on Saturday, but 'should have heaved the pill feet further than he did. Ho is at last realising that the legs play an important part in this event, and it is possible for him to do 34ft or 35ft' comfortably if he will concentrate in his putting seriously. Ho also did comparatively well in other field events at the scratch meeting.

Athletic News and Notes

M. Murray is another of those versatile fellows who show ability in more than' one branch of athletics, and he put up a good performance to take second place in the hop, step, arid jump handicap at last week’s evening meeting with 42ft odd, and then at the scratch meeting he won the C _ grade 100yds in 11 l-ssec, was third in the A grade long jump with 18ft Gin, and was placed in _one or two other events. So far as his. running is concerned Murray is a determined finisher, but he is inclined to -get up too high in the aiy and shorten his stride. Plenty of striding practice would help him. 1 < SATURDAY'S SCRATCH MEETING A MBBT ENJOYABLE FIXTURE The Otago Centre’s first scratch nieeting of the season at the Caledonian Ground on Saturday proved one of the most enjoyable fixtures seen here for a long time—that is, enjoyable to the athletes themselves as well as to the handful of spectators who were present.. .Some of the fields were of disappointing dimensions, more particularly in the A grade, but these will improve as the season advances, and next week’s scratch meeting should see far more runners facing the starter, especially in the distance events. • Yet it was in the A grade mile that the best performance of the day took place on Saturday, J. H. M’Laren winning in 4min 34sec, a good run at this stage of the season. M’Laren has always been a determined runner, and some of the crudities of style that he once possessed have disappeared. He is running with ri. inuch freer action, arid displayed improved form. M'Laicu lias been of near-championship class for the mile for some years, and he may help 'to make things interesting over this distance during the present season. One of the most promising quartermilers in Otago last season was H. J. Tyrie, of the Civil Service Club, who finished second in both the Southland and Otago 440 yards championships. He has made an early start this season, and last week was unofficially clocked to do 52Jsec for 440 yards in the relay at the evening meeting. 'He had an easy run in the 440 yards A grade event at the scratch meeting, and won comfortably in 54 l-ssec. Tyrie has

developed a much smoother • stylo, is striding nicely, and should give A. L. Px-ice a great tussle in the provincial championship in Febxnxary. Sevex-al of the performances in the field events at the scratch meeting have been refei'red to, but one worthy of some note was that of J. M‘Lachlan in the long jump B gx-ade, which he won with 18ft 3in. Lachie’s younger bx-other was third in the A grade 100 yards, but it is over the furlong and the quarter that best performances will be expected of him this season. Like the other members of the family, however, ho is handy at nearly every branch of athletics.

H. Whitaker, of the Caversham Club, would be well advised to take up hurdling in real earnest. He won the B grade 120 yards hurdles and was second in the A grade quarter hurdles on Saturday, showing signs of developing into a good man over the sticks. He is a strong, determined runner with some idea of jumping, and better performances may be expected of him with a little coaching.

J. Gerken, who was runner-up in the Otago 440 yards hurdles championship last season, made a good start by ■winning the A grade quarter hurdles on Saturday in 62 2-ssec, and it was noticeable that his hurdling has improved, while lie has plenty of pace between the sticks. Gerken should have no trouble in getting well below 60sec for the_ 440 yards hurdles this year, and he is bound to give a good account of himself in the Otago championship event.

The mile walk drew only two starters, and R. J. Watson’s winning time (Bmin 27 2-ssec)' was slow. Nevertheless, ho is a keen walker, and with competition should improve

greatly during the season. He has adopted the rolling gait fairly effectively. Of the C grade R. S. Moody, who won the mile in 4min 55 4-ssee, and R. Roxburgh, winner of the 440 yards in 55 l-ssec, were the most impressive, while C. A. Broad and L. K. Donovan, first and second in the mile respectively, were the best of the B graders. J. S. Asher (Civil Service) ran quite a solid race to win the B grade 440 yards from W. Donovan, with J. Shepherd in third place. KEEN ATHLETE AND OFFICIAL CENTRE'S SPORTS SECRETARY A good all-round athlete is the Otago Centre's sports secretary. Ken Miller, who has shown. form well up to championship standard in the hop, step, and jump, and has also been well back on the mark among Otago's best sprinters. Ken made a welcome return to competition at the centre's scratch meeting

on Saturday, and with a little more training should soon be registering good performances again. As sports secretary of the Qtago Centre, Ken Miller has done very fine work during the last couple of seasons, and, in association with the president (Mr Guy Tapley) and the secretary (Mr T. M. Brydone), much of the work necessary to ensure the success of the New Zealand championships at- Dunedin will devolve upon him. QUMTEMILE GMPION ALF PRICE IN TRAILING Alf Price, the Otago quarter-mile champion, has left the.. start .of his competitive activities this season a little later than usual, and this may prove beneficial, for he has not always produced his best towards the end of the season in some previous due perhaps to the length of time he had been engaging in competition during the season.

Nevertheless, Price’s record in provincial and Dominion competition is one of which- any runner might be proud.

He has held the Otago 440yds title on more than one occasion, and has also run very well in the New Zealand event several times.

Ho can run a good furlong, so it is surprising that ho does not always coyer the first part of his quarter as fast as might be expected. An improvement in this direction would make him a man capable of doing 50scc or better for 4.4oyds. Price will be competing at the scratch meeting next week; and there should bo some good races between him and H. J. Tyrie before these scratch meetings are concluded. STEADY PREPARATION GEDDES RUNS WELL The former Otago three-mile cham-_^_-==_=m=„_OTra.. pion and New Zea- | land cross-country j||||||pH, 9 representative, Ray ™k I Geddes. is leaving i ' SsMSwMJ:' 1 S IU ms preparation a | f° r championship « '"% ''>'t'"'PC3s 1 events this season, I and he is wisely en'?*lPip 1 sa S' n S. \ n alt th .° S co,n P e iition that is 'rZrEkJ%' a| offering without in Mm anv wa y overdoing *dl tilings. He filled BmrnTrn^™aj. y — - second place in the A. R. Geddes. milo handicap from 40yds at the even-

ing meeting on Thursday last, but J. H. M‘Larcii, who was third on that occasion, turned the tables in the A grade mile on Saturday, Geddes having to be content with second place. Geddes is showing improved form. Ho is running as freely as ever, but has cultivated a smoother stride and a better body balance, and it will not be at all surprising to find him well to the fore this season.

POPULAR YOUNG ATHLETE One of the most popular young athletes in Otago is Jack Shepherd, of the Anglican Club, who is. not only a very promising all-round performer, but also a keen student of athletic technique and a capable executive official.

Jack won the Southland 100yds junior championship a year or so back, and is a good sprinter, being second

in the 100yds A grade • event at the first scratch meeting of the season on Saturday. Although he finished about syds back in the B grade quarter-mile, it was only the last few yards that found him wanting, and with a little more finish he should be running some impressive quarters this season. 'He has a nice style and a good' stride, and from 100yds to 440yds should be one of the best of the younger bunch this season. He takes his running seriously, and is improving all the time. On the executive side he is secretary of the Anglican Club's Social Committee. NOTES After a fairly long spell off the track, C. G. Gibbon, who has held Wellington and West Coast (N. 1.) titles for the mile, made a return to competition at the Otago Centre's scratch meeting on Saturday, and while his condition lasted he was always with the head of the field in the B grade mile, retiring with a lap to go. Clarrie once beat J. W. Savidah to finish first in the New Zealand mile championship at Auckland in 1927, and he was second to Savidan in the same event at Wellington in 1929, and third to Don Evans and Gordon Bayne at Wanganui in 1930. He is certainly unlikely to regain his form of those years, but he should be capable of getting into sufficiently good condition to give a good account of himself in A grade competition this season. For the New Zealand championships the Otago.Centre will be making use of a new set of hurdles for all its hurdle races, and arrangements are now being made by the centre's Sports Committee to-obtain these adjustable obstacles.

H.- Yates, Victorian amateur sprinter, has run 100yds in 9 9-10 sec twice recently. Each time, however, an assisting breeze has prevented his performance from being ranked as equal to the Victorian record. An amateur athletic club has been .formed in Taumarunui, formerly a professional stronghold, and it is possible that the N.Z.A.A.A. will be asked to reinstate a number of likely competitors. The secretary of the new club is E. B. E. Taylor, formerly well known in Canterbury and nine times New Zealand University athletic champion. His experience should serve the club well, and with A. R. Valder (father of J. Valder, leading Auckland miler) chairman, and C. P. Rogers (leading West Coast hurdler) treasurer, there is the foundation of- a good executive. S. Richardson, the negro member of the Canadian schoolboys' team which competed in New Zealand last summer, recently won the Canadian long jump title with a leap of 24ft llin, to improve on Jesse Owens's record figures of 24ft 7jin. Immediately after this he competed in the 100yds final to fill fourth place, the time being 9.9 sec, although he had won his heat earlier in the day in O.Ssec. None of those who saw it will forget his 110yds run in the relay event at the Domain last December (says the Auckland ' Herald '). ________^___ SWIiMING INTERMEDIATE AND JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS Although they would not bo eligible to hold titles, there is a possibility of tlio Southlanders, D. Davis and A. C. Millar, competing in the intermediate boys' events at the Otago intermediate and junior championship swimming carnival next Wednesday night. They have entered for the two free style events, and since outsiders have previously competed in championship events, the Otago Centre will no doubt grant these.swimmers the necessary permission when it meets to-morrow night. Davis won tlie Southland 220yds intermediate boys' championship in 2min 35sec, and Millar the 100yds in 59 l-ssec. Their presence will give added interest to the meeting and provide good opposition for the New Zealand champion, S. W. Jarvis. KIWI CLUE RACES The Kiwi Club held the first of a series of races for its under 12 members at the club hour at the Municipal Baths last night, .with the following results:—• Width, under 12, girls: W. Sinclair (osec) 1, E. Goldthorpo (3scc) 2, J. Manson (3sec) 3. Width, under 12, boys: T. Hall (2sec) 1, J. Cormack (4sec) 2, R. Honeyman ,(4sec), 3.

ALL BLACKS IN WALES DECISIVE WIN OVER CARDIFF NEWS BY MAIL "All Blacks' Decisive .Triumph in Glorious Game " was the caption of the report in the ' Western Mail and South Wales News' after the game against Cardiff, won by the tourists by 20 to 5. . -. With the cheers of the multitude ringing in their ears, the New Zealanders of 1935 left Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday after having secured a decisive triumph in a glorious game that will for ever rank high in Rugbys history' (says the writer in this Welsh paper). . In securing that victory they vindicated themselves, restored the prestige of their Dominion, and enabled, old and young to.catch a glimpse of what remains to this generation of the scintillating type of Rugby at which Welshmen and New Zealanders excelled in the far-off days when the Dominion sent its first team to tour this country.

The New Zealanders had a special reason to seek and pursue victory at Cardiff. To them victory on any other ground must he a shell compared with the luscious kernel represented by a win on Cardiff Anns Park. Though none of the members of the present team had “ seen the light of day ” when the All Blacks of 1905 were defeated by Wales at Cardiff, the desire to avenge that one defeat of an otherwise universally successful tour has been instilled into them from childhood. • »

Now they have won on what New Zealand regards as being the most famous of Rugby grounds, and the fact that it was not Wales but Cardiff that was conquered docs not materially detract from the delight which the members of the present side rightly have in their achievement. They triumphed where they most wanted to triumph, and their triumph was complete because it was a reward for their baring beaten in all of the finer phases of Rugby a Cardiff side with distinct capabilities of its own. PEAK OF SEASON’S FORM. Those who place a specially high value upon their local patriotism may disagree with that assertion, holding that it can be interpreted as the mere gilding of the lily for the gratification of a popular brand of guests rightly regarded as examples of true sporting gentlemen. In support of that view they can point to that wonderful 10 or 15 minutes at the opening of the second half when Cardiff’s players touched the peak of this season’s form and played Rugby that even the earlier brilliance of the New Zealanders could not dim.

That was certainly a period of delight, excitement, and charm—a few minutes’ play that deserves to find a place among the unforgettable things. But, whaf of the other 70 minutes? Throughout the whole period, whether attacking or defending, the All Blacks gave one the impression of being constantly coolly and methodically efficient and of possessing those touches of genius in attack .that cannot be suppressed with case or regularity. Not so Cardiff. CHANCES TURNED TO PROFIT. ■ Throughout the whole of the first half the Cardiff centres and Harry Bowcott at outside-half seemed incapable of anticipating the thrusts or parrying them, and their repeated trundling' of ground passes slowed up their own attacks, made one fear for their reputations, and presented the All Blacks with the very opportunities that their alertness and accuracy could turn to profit. For none of that was Jack Bowcott to blame. His passing out from the scrummages was better than it has ever been, his individual running was Cleveland pointed, and altogether ho played his best game for Cardiff. He had the sympathy of all.

So had Arthur Jones—who played clever and resourceful football throughout, . and whose one shortcoming was that he had not the .speed to keep ahead of pursuit on the few occasions on which he got clear or practically cleax-—and Arthur Bassett, though the latter missed each of the passes thrown to him and had a bad game. His redeeming feature was the occasion on which he chased across from his flank to the other side of the field and, with a full-blooded .tackle, gave Ball no alternative to crashing heavily into touch instead of gathering the try that seemed certain to ho' his. EDWARDS’S BAFFLING RUNS. But Cardiff’s supporters, in the elation they must feel at having viewed real Rugby, can afford to be generous in their cx-iticism of Harry Bowcott, Boon, and Edwards, if only in recognising how splendidly they assisted in that all too short period when Cardiff conveyed the impression that they could be a great side. Harry Bowcott can plead that he was unsettled in his handling And uncertain in his kicking because of a knee injury sustained early in the game, and Edwards was again under the necessity for seeking to conceal his youthfulness and inexperience. Edwards was certainly at fault on occasions in handling and in defence, but one must remember his three or four amazing and baffling swerving runs—runs as good as any from the All Blacks, oven if they wex-e unrewarded. Edwards has a bright future.

An extended analysis of the fullbacks’ play is not called for. They can both be acclaimed as good servants, for. though Tommy Stone’s kicking ..did not equal in length that of Gilbert, the Cardiff captain was constantly menaced by the arrival of speedy opponents at the same time as the ball, whereas Gilbert generally had breathing space to take up the position ho desired and to decide upoxi Ixis tactics. OLIVER’S LEADERSHIP-

In a way the difference in the fullbacks’ tasks illustrates the differences in the teams and provides the reason why the All Blacks won worthily and handsomely. Cardiff’s x>laycrs, forwards as well as backs, were slow and awkward in establishing contacts, while the New Zealanders showed how every inch of pace should be unsparingly used either

for backing up in attack or for following the ball when it was in the possession of opponents. Each of New Zealand's backs was a pastmaster in both directions, and the interlinking and the weaving of their schemes made each of them dependent upon the others for success. They were all really good and equally worthy, even though certain individuals were prominent—Oliver for his leadership, Oaughey with his bursts, and Sadler for the perfection of his service, his alertness, and his brilliant individual efforts. The forwards had a hard and reasonably equal battle. With the New Zealanders averaging over 14st per man and with Hadley back to do the hooking, it was only to be expected that there would be an improvement in scrummaging power compared with previous games. Yet the Cardiff forwards more than held their own in that particular, though their superior heeling became a diminishing quantity as the All Blacks' weight became an increasing burden. ' NEW. ZEALANDERS'; LUCK. In ' the loose - the New Zealand forwards, and especially Reid, King, and Lambourn, were quicker than Cardiff's men, and equalled their backs in the determination of their running. In the matter of moving in mass formation in the loose, however, Cardiff had the better pack, and Watkins, Harry Rees, and Osmond were the best. Gwyn Williams also earned a word of praise' by getting back to save one certain try. The New Zealanders trusted to luck as well as to skill, and had a fair share of luck in building up their firsthalf lead of 15 points. Caughey successfully gambled with fate in the first three minutes, when he got a try by following up a high punt and getting " the touch " when any one of half a dozen Cardiff men might have had it with equal ease. Gilbert's dropped goal from halfway at the end of the first half also followed upon a very decided knock-on by him. In between came two picture-book tries from combined movements, one by Mitchell and.the other by Caughey. Gilbert converted Caughey's second try and the one scored by Reid in the second half from a gallop after Sadler had given him the chance. Cardiff's try was a gem. With several slight pauses, the movement preceding it swept almost from end to end, with Jack Bowcott and Bassett in the final effort which ended in Osmond scoring. Boon converted. YACHTING CO»ELL CUP TRIAL The first trial to select the crew to represent Qtago in the Cornwell Cup contest, which is to be held at Auckland in January, was held at Vauxhall last evening. 'The winning crew was S. Kenna and D. Hewitt, who sailed the Pupuke, which defeated Kathleen by llmin 17sec. Kathleen was handled bv R. Todd and-A. Young. ' 'The next trial will be: held at Vauxhall at 2.30 on Saturday next.
