OLYMPIC TEAM
NEW ZEALANDERS’ PROGRESS. (Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press Assn—Copyright.) (Received June 26, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, June 25. “Everybody is well and training steadily. There has been no heavy work thus far, but we hope to reach the zenith of form at Amsterdam,” says Mr Amos, manager of the New Zealand Olympic team, in summing up the team’s progress. The swimmers and runners will probably compete at several meetings in London before their departure for Amsterdam on July 26. The athlete, Miss Wilson, ran unplaced in the Middlesex Club’s Handicap on Saturday, but Mr Amos was not surprised at that, as she is not yet in championship condition. Mr Amos is endeavouring to arrange a British athletes’ tour of New Zealand in 1929, but there is no announcement at present owing to the financial problems and difficulty in securing leave. He is also negotiating for a month’s tour by the New Zealanders in South Africa, en route home.
