UNIVERSITY EIGHTS

EASTER TOURNAMENT CONTEST Four University eight-oar crews will contest the ninth annual contest for the Hebherly Shield, held by Auckland for the past two years, during the interuniversity tournament at Wellington on Saturday afternoon.

It has been won three times by both Victoria College and Canterbury College, and twice by Auckland College. Otago first competed in 1933, and swamped in its two initial attempts. Last year it rowed third, which position it hopes to better on this occasion. Under the coaching of Messrs F. W. Eggers and W. J. Rennick it has made fine progress, and should be well in the running. It will leave with the remainder of the Otago University team on Thursday morning.
