LOVELOCK PRESENTATION
OTAGO’S IMPRESSION A MISUNDERSTANDING REMOVED (Per United Press Association) WELLINGTON, Dec. 2. A misunderstanding existing over the suggested national presentation to Lovelock was mentioned by members of the Council of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association. The secretary (Mr H. M'Cormick) said that Otago and another centre were under a wrong impression concerning the amount they would be called on to give. A letter from the Otago Centre opposed the principle involved in presenting an amateur with a gift of the value that would be raised by the national appeal. The president (Mr R. W. M'Villy) said the Olympic and Empire Games Council in New Zealand wished to make the presentation an expression of the general feeling. Lovelock was a great New Zealander, and one of the finest advertisements the country ever had. In his opinion, the wrong impression gained in Otago was the result of somebody’s over-enthusiasm. Mr L. A. Tracy, the Auckland delegate, said the northern centre would do its utmost to help the council. It was decided to write to the centres explaining the nature and object of the plan.
