BIG TEST FOR ARAMOHO OARSMEN TODAY
P.A.)
WELLINGTON, Dec. 10.
Tomorrow the Aramoho (Wanganui) oarsmen visiting Sydney will have their final and most severe test in the big metropolitan international regatta.
Aramoho after their win last Saturday settled down to a hard week’s training, writes the manager of the crew, Mr S. Kidd, to the Evening Post They have been on the water both mornings and afternoons and the eight should be at their peak by tomorrow. Joe Schneider, New eZaland single sculls champion, having held the Olympic title-holder, Mervyn Wood, last Saturday, faces his next race against the Australian with confidence.
In the Haberfield regatta, writes Mr. Kidd, Schneider again steered a bad course and thereby lost three or four lengths. Wood was responsible for the foul. He was off his course, having crossed over from No. 4 position to No. 8, Schneider’s course. Schneider, who was sculling strongly, was crowded out by the Glndesville wharf and locked riggers with Wood.
