EMPIRE GAMES
METHOD OF SELECTING TEAM CENTRAL BODY SHARPLY CRITICISED. (Per United Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, September 18. The conditions under which the New Zealand team for the Empire Games was selected and sent to London ■were vigorously condemned during a discussion at the annual meeting of the Canterbury Amateur Athletic Club. The action of the authorities in Wellington in allowing the team only three weeks in London before the Games, and refusing T. G. Broadway permission to go earlier at his own expense was described as “stark, sheer lunacy,” and a “ scandalous shame.” The club instructed its delegates to bring its protest before the Canterbury Amateur Athletic Centre to be carried to headquarters in Wellington. Broadway is a member of the Canterbury Club.
