EIGHT-OARED ROWING
(Fbb United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, February 12. The question of eight-oared rowing was _ discussed by the Wellington Rowing Association, the general feeling being that eights would replace pairs and double- sculls on future New Zealand programmes. It was considered that the time was not distant when eight-oared events would appear on Wellington local programmes. Auckland already had realised that public opinion had a leaning towards eights, as being more spectacular from a spectator’s point of view. The Wellington Association heartily supported Auckland’s viewpoint. It recognised that the difficulty at the present time was the expense of acquiring eight-oared boats, but members agreed that if attractive enough prize money were offered entries would be forthcoming.
