ATHLETICS
N.Z. OLYMPIC TEAM’S BETURN. (Per Pros ß Association). WELLINGTON, October 21. The New Zealand Olympic Games team arrived back by the Rangitiki, except Boot, who conies in three weeks’ time. Arbuthnot, the captain, said that, although some of the decisions in the boxing and wrestling were very questionable, he thought the New Zealanders had been fairly treated. He found nothing to cavil at. Mtitthews expressed the opinion that he believed better results might have been produced had the team gone Home by way of Panama, instead of .Suez. Cinder tracks were a necessity in New Zealand if athletes in this country were to compete on anything like equal terms with competitors abroad.
