AMATEUR ATHLETICS
AUSTRALIA v. NEW ZEALAND CONTESTS. (Per United Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, November 30. A proposal that annual contests should be arranged between athletic teams of Australia and New Zealand was discussed and supported by the Canterbury Amateur Athletic Centre tonight. A resolution was carried that the centre write to the New Zealand Council pressing for a revival of interdominion contests and suggesting that the Melbourne centenary celebrations offer a suitable occasion for carrying out this plan. The president of the centre, Mr J. K. Moloney, said that whoever had been responsible for the discontinuance of the Australasian championships had done a great disservice to New Zealand athletics. Either the championships should be restored or Australia v. New Zealand contests should be introduced.
