AMATEUR ATHLETICS

HAWERA CLUB CONTESTS CUP SERIES PROGRESS. ' LISTS OF POINTS. TIO resumption on Wednesday of the Ha-werai Amatenr Athletic Club's weekly evening meetings, after the break sineei December 19 for the holiday period, brought the serve nth of 'the season's series of programme's, consisting of events to count for the club trophies. The meetings are being continued weekly until February 20, except for a break on Jam. 30, and will attract added interest among competitors owing to the approach of the centre championships to be held at Wanganui on l ebruairy 9. In view of possible' inclusion in the club team, which should make a strong bid to lift the banner at the Wanganui gathering, training should be particularly keen. Good fields were again seen in the; majority of events on Wednesday, though ibetter srup-port for events in tlie ladies , the primary schoolboys’ division and the walkers’ divisions would prove a welcome feature. The results brought alterations _in minor placings on all but the cycling and ladies’ points’ lists, but top places were disturbed in only the respective primary schools * mid. secondary schools tables. In the former L. Worley took definite leading position, two points' ahead of R. Brown, who was previously equal with the former, and in the secondary schools’ division H. Wbollett, previously level with B. Thomas and RBerry, assumed a lead of two points from Berry. New names to appear on the tables were F. L. Booth, whose second placing in’the 100 yards secured two points for the Burdekin Gup; J. Matheson, who 1 , in the half-mile, caught one point for the same trophy; E. Griffen, who was already on the walkers' list, notched three points for the Athol Grant Gup by winning the javelin throw; and G. Standish, who scored two points for the Walkers ’ Cup.
