TEAM FOR OLYMPIC GAMES
FULL TRAINING PERIOD
(By Teftegrapo—Trees, association.) WANGANUI, March S. “Pressure should be brought to bear right away to enable whatever New Zealand athletic team is chosen for the Olympic Games to obtain a full period of training,” said Mr Norman McKenzie, representing the Hawkes BayPoverty Bay ceri*tre at the annual conference of amateur athletic centre delegates; here to-night. Mr L. A. Tracy (secretary): What would you call a full period? Mr McKenzie: At least seven weeks. Mr R. O. Johnson (Otago) supported Mr McKenzie and said it was impossible for a New Zealand team to Teach top form in two or three weeks after landing. If trials were to be held to select a team they should be fixed early in the season.
