SPORTS OF ALL KINDS

OTAGO SWIMMING TEAM LACKED JUNIOR FREE-STYLISTS

TUITH 10 first, nine second, and three third places, the team which repre- ' ’ sented Otago at the New Zealand Intermediate and Junior Swimming Championship meeting at New Plymouth performed with every credit, and while in the competition for the War Memorial Shield it had to dip its ; colours to Southland, there is not a swimmer in Otago who will grudge the southern province its . victory. ..

One fact which” seems to emerge from the meeting is that a centre not possessing an enclosed pool is, in the majority of cases, unsuitable for the staging of the national championships. True, Otago supported Taranaki’s application for; the IML-.championships; but as hw'lnppenedahefore whep the events hpve been decided in an open bath, the racinf Waati marred py: bad weather. ■; Ad&d ttTlhis. the late arrival of officiate kept competitors .wailing on their marka-sbmetimes for an unreasonable time,:Sand the placings in several races gave every justification for doubting the competency of the judges. These are all matters for the New Zealand Council to consider. :With regard to the judging; it is possible that poor lighting over the J tool may have made the task of the udfes unnecessarily difficult;, but it might iio no harm if each centre appointed^'■'• • panel from which efficient judges for, swimming events at future nation*! ‘meetings’ coifld be chosen After aU. there!* a diving panel Why not one (or swimming? On# other point that might be taken up by the council is a more rigid adherence to the rule providing that the intermediate and junior Championships shall bT held PA such dates as will hllow the eompetitors to have at least a fbrtniSptt' ‘to themselves before resuming school. A youngster who is in constant training from about Octountil within a day or so before going back to school does not get much of a holiday. Dunedin, Nelson, and

Southland have all managed to fix reasonably early dates when they have conducted championship meetings Other centres, if they are keen on having the championships, should be able to do likewise.

? But—to; return to a; more satisfactory topic—unfortunately, jthe Otago team was weak in Junior girl and boy free-stylists. In all other departments It-was distinctly one>of Quality. In the , girls’ - breaststroke events, Otago practically swept the board, although ft was unlucky that Noeline Peat, who won her heat in the 75 yards event, and Chase Clarke, who was undoubtedly third in the final, were completely overlooked by the judges. The feature, of this race was the victory of Mary., Stewart, who staged a great come-back and further showed her versatility by swimming a .great race )n the / intermediate furlong and competing in thejF’anagan, Cup- harbour swim, iri Which she took seventh place. The three junior girls, Mayzod Reid. Betty Stewart and Shirley Harrison, all did well, as did Colin Sell, P, Gardiner and J. Stewart in the intermediate boys’ section; . As usual, the " old firm,” Islay Purdie, Winnie Dunn and Gwen Rix, proved just as reliable in the women’s division as they have done in former years, the first-named winning high praise for her graceful, easy style. On the whole, it was an excellent meeting for Otago.

The Lead Lost For the first time this season AlbionY.M.C.A. has lost its place at the head of the First Grade cricket competition. It had a three-point lead before the last series of matches was concluded, but its defeat by Old Boys has now placed the _ latter side in the leading position, with an advantage of a single point over Albion-Y.M.C.A. and Grange. Last Saturday’s results, in fact, resulted in a general post among the teams, and this, following the defeat of the three leaders in the previous series, has resulted in marked changes in the competition since Christmas. Dunedin, for instance, instead if being 12 points behind .the leader, has deduced the gap to 5 points. Other teams, too, have improved their positions, and while some of them appear to have a decided advantage in respect of bowling talent, the competition gives every indication of developing into one of the best for years past. . , ■ Successful Crews I A feature-of the rowing: at Waihola on Saturday was the success of the Port Chibneri tSlub:';in s tiSe -three senior races on .the programme—lours,, pairs, arid singles. Little has' been heard of rowing activities at Port this season; indeed, it was suggested at one time;: that because of depleted memberships the two clubs located in the Lower Harbour .would not be taking part- in regatta fixtures. On Saturday, however. Port Chalmers boated a strong Hoskins (st), A. Alcock, W. Smith, and G. Mitchell 4-in the Senior Fours to secure a good win by two lengths from North End, With the Otago No. 2 crew in third place. Smith and Mitchell also accounted for the Senior Pairs,: and the latter secured a : comfortable win in the Single Sculls, in the same class. Queen’s Drive; the Aher, Port::Club, which has'been particularly strong in young members in recent seasons, put tip a creditable performance in 'winning both the-Junior and. Maiden Fours, both crews being stroked by H. Broadley. Other successes scored by this club included firsts in the " Maiden Pairs and Maiden Single Sculls—M. Sutherland being the stroke in the winning pairs boat, and the club’s representative in the latter race.

Laws of Cricket “Old-Timer” forwards two queries concerning the laws of cricket. The a batsman oe given out lbw under the new rule if he plays forward to an off breait?—is, of course, covered by Law 24, which reads: “The striker is out if with any part of his person (except his hand) which is between wicket and wicket he intercept a ball which in the opinion of the umpire at the bowler’s wicket shall have been pitched in a straight line from. the bowler’s wicket to the striker’s wicket or shall have been - pitched on the offside of the striker’s wicket and would have hit it” Obviously a batsmen is more likely to be out Ibw jnder the new rule if he plays back than if he puts a leg down the wicket, because the longer the distance between leg and wicket the greaVr the difficulty of being sure.that the ball would have hit the wicket.' But that is a question for the judgment of the umpire. Certainly a batsman can be out Ibw if he plays forward to a ball breaking or swinging from tho off. The second question - s: Is an extra ball allowed for every wide bowled in an over? Yes. The Laws of Cricket provide that “Neither a *•ball’ nor ‘wide ball’ shall be reckoned as one of the ‘over.’” There have been cases even in internttonal cricket of an over being extremely prolonged in consequence of wides and no-balls. Golfing Tragedy There was one member of the Otago Golf Club who must have come in on Saturday with the satisfaction of a highly promising round definitely tinged. D. Ramsay finished third to D. J. Jolly and T. H. Brown in the B Grade section of the St. Andrew’s Cross Handicap, with a card of 9? —20—73; but there is a story attached to that. If Ramsay had played the short sixteenth reasonably well or even only fairly badly, he would have had a good win. Instead, that bogey _ 3 hole cost him 13 strokes—back and forward from bunker to bunker until he must have wondered if he would be home in time for tea. A bogey 3 would have left h|m with a net 63, whigh would have been four strokes better than Jolly’s winning card. : > Wednesday Bowling The following table shows the positions of the various teams in the Wednesday bowling competition:— Points

Good Batting Last season, probably becauxi of the responsibility of captaincy, L. J. Groves, the Old'Boys and Otago spin bowler, was not as effective with the ball, as was expected. Now that he has been relieved of that . burden this season, however, his bowling has. regained the accuracy _of length and deception of flight imd spin - which gave him such a feast of wielcets in past seasons. He has been even more successful with the bat, and his unorthodox but effective hard hitting has put Him well to the fore in Dunedin batting averages. He made a hurricane 73 not out on Saturday in only 34 minutes, and if the innings had not been declared and he had survived to keep up his rate of scoring, he would have reached the century mark in about 47 minutes. His batting was delightful to watch, especially his chop cuts, which he mixed judiciously with lofty hits behind the bowler. His scores this season have been 19. 126 not out. 12, 14, 16, 73 not out—a total of 260 runs at an average of 65. He has taken 23 wickets at an average of approximately 13 runs apiece. In direct contrast to Groves’s experience last season, the batting and wicket-keeping of G. H. Mills, who has taken over the captaincy, have improved considerably. The responsibility rests lightly on his shoulders, but it has made him concentrate more in his batting, and he now has the solidity which he' has hitherto lacked, and which, as an opening batsman and captain, will inspire his team- mates with more confidence.

Coring Machine for Greens Mr George Deare, an ex-member of the Dunedin Bowling Club, who now resides in Auckland, and whose skill as a bowler is well known, is at present spending a holiday in Dunedin and has been a welcome visitor on several of the local greens. Mr Dsare’s interest in bowls is not solely confined to playing the game—he has invented a machine for aerating greens, and those who have seen it in operation have been greatly impressed by the simple and effective manner in which it does its work. The machine has three tines or corers, which allow the earth to relax and the air to penetrate the holes, thus assisting in a better and stronger growth. The slow patches on a green are also eliminated as the water goc- down below the hard crust on the surface whicn is soaked evenly all over. It is not advisable to do the coring when the ground is hard duriug the playing season. To get the best results the holes should be. two and a-half to three inches deep and three to four inches apart. The work is carried out with a minimum of effort, The weight of the machine allows it to penetrate to the necessary depth without any pressure from the foot, and the speed in which the work can be carried out is shown by the fact that one man can core a whole green in under three days, put- . ting in about 140.000 holes. The holes should not be filled up after coring. A rink is quite fit for play a day after it has been cored. It is optional whether the cores are lifted cr broken up. If the cutter is run over the green it will be effectively cleaned up. No Mean Golfer It would seem that D. C. Jolly, better known nowadays as president of that august body the Otago Rugby Union, is not flattered as a golfer by his handicap of 14. He is playing his way through the Veterans’ Cup knockout competition at Balmacewen in great style. A fortnight ago he eliminated the club champion, W G. Wight, although he had to go to the twenty-second hole to do so. and last week-end he accounted for A. G. Sime. 1 up. They were two first-rate wins In addition, he finished at the head of the B Graders in Saturday's St Andrew’s Cross Medal Handicap, with a card of 81-14—67. If Rugby affairs did not occupy his time to the exclusion of match golf in the winter, it seems: that he would very soon jump out of B Grade class. The players left: with him in the Veterans’ Cup are J. R. Callender. P. Caley and A. McMillan. .Vhitcombe* for Golf.*

A GOOD PERFORMANCE The 1941 Sanders Cup contest was decided at Auckland last week in record time. Never before in the 21 years’ history of the contest has one boat won the trophy in only three races, and high, praise must be given to the Auckland crew, for its excellent showing, .uickland has not played a very conspicuous part in the series since its inception in 1920 until it took the cup to Auckland last season and succeeded in retaining it this year on home waters. Otago’s performance, however, is one that will give considerable satisfaction to the crew of Wampa and her Otago supporters. •/’. v Wampa .was what might be termed “ runner-up ” in the content, with two seconds and a fourth in the three races—* record that has rot been equalled since the province won the cup some years ago. The performance was even more meritorious than it appears when it is remembered .that no official trials had been held, that the question of a boat was lii doubt until practically the last minute, and that the crew was more or less a scratch one. It. addition, Wampa has had some lean seasons since she was launched, and it was only late this season that she proved herself capable of footing it with Lynette and Evelyn, which dominated the unofficial trials held before the ■New Year, v, , Certain Of these circumstances will apply to other provinces where the strength of the yachting personnel has been weakened By the war; but, never* theless, this does not detract from the merit of Wampa’s performance at Auckland..

Batsmen in Charge The captain of the Dunedin eleven was rather optimistic when he closed his side’s innings at 251, with three wickets down, in an attempt to secure an 8-point win over Carisbrook A on Saturday. The latter side in its second strike had only to score 88 runs, with an hour and three-quarters to play, to defeat the no doubt worthy desire of the Dunedin skipper, and the A batsmen had nearly twice that number on the board at stumps. At this stage the game lacked interest, and the bowling of the Dunedin trundlers was very weak. The Dunedin batsmen had little difficulty in topping Carisbrook A’s first innings total of 163, Wheeler (40). F. Wedlake (93). and D. C. McDonald (71 not out) playing the bowling with plenty of confidence. Wedlake hit out at short-pitched balls. He smacked a full toss into the grand stand for a 6, which made ond of the spectators in the stand scoot along the seats to get out of the way. : It seemed rather a pity that McDonald was not given ah opportunity to secure his century. He was batting in solid style, and. apart from the chance he gave when he mishit a delivery from Hogg, and the ball shot into Kerr’s hands in the slips but was dropped, he gave a faultless display. Milnes’s batting—he scored 66 in his second hand for the A’s—was much admired by the spectators, the old-timers especially. He executes the drive, with the ball dropping at his toes, in a most attractive style, and his timing is excellent. Milnes is still in his teens, and full marks should be given to him, McDonald and Wedlake for their exhibitions with the bat. There was not much hostility in the bowling of either side, Dunedin tried no fewer than seven bowlers and Carisbrook A six. The total tally for the afternoon was five wickets! Saturday Bowling The result of Saturday’s games in the interclub bowling championship leaves the position of the leading teams unaltered. Green Island still heads the list, but with a reduced majority. Green Island won one section and lost one and brought its total to 90 points, and Kaikorai. by winning each of its three sections, is now only 10 points behind the leader, Caversham and Dunedin with 76 4-5 points and 76 points respectively. fill third and fourth places The following table shows the results of Saturday’s games and the total points scored to date by each club; —

An Interesting Success No doubt many Dunedin followers of lawn tennis would notice with interest the success of Miss Margaret Evans in the Girls’ Plate in the recent New Zealand Junior Lawn Tennis Championships. Miss Evans is no stranger to Dunedin. In fact, she was born here 16 years ago, and her mother, Mrs G. P. Evans, was an Otago representative many years ago. Mrs Evans is still a keen player, and looks after the, Sumner Junior Tennis Club, Christchurch, which has had an average membership of'4o over the past four seasons. Margaret, who was captain of St. Margaret’s College team last year, is the present Sumner Club junior champion. Whitcombcs for Tennii.*

RECORD AT ST. CLAIR Members of the St. Clair Golf Club are no longer able to answer inquiries as to the difficulties of their course by saying that 70 has yet to be broken there in match play. The club’s No 1 ranking player, C. B. Wight, took the opportunity last Saturday to add further lustre to his fine record by setting a new standard for the reconstructed course of 69 off the stick. The round was all the more creditable in that it was Wight’s first outing after a spell of six weeks, that it was played in a strongish wind, and that the occasion was an . official match. His 69 included 10 pars, six birdies, and two holes (the first and the seventeenth), which cost a stroke above par figures. It was an outstanding achievement in every ' respect. The-. Wight, family is maintaining its traditions nobly, even though young T. W. is away on active service. C. B. is the reigning St. Clanchampion, while his brother, W. G., holds the same honour at Balmacewen. A Champion of Champions match, 18 holes on each course, might be an interesting friendly event. Athlete’s Death By the- death of Ron McLevie. the Civil Service runner, athletics in Otago have suffered a severe loss. McLevie, who was a big, powerful runner, was a prominent performer at evening meetings held by the centre in the past few seasons, and he always showed that he ytas a sportsman in the true sense of ’ the word. He was also a good club man, and was popular with ail who knew him. His success was never great on the track, but he derived a great deal of enjoyment from the sport. His death on Saturday removed an athlete who will be greatly missed at sports meetings.

A Promising Half-miler The Civil Service Athletic Club at present possesses a bunch of very promising middle-distance runners. One of them is R. G. Black, who, at the club’s championships last week, won the junior half-mile in 2min 6 3-ssec on 3 soft track and in a fairly stiff southerly, and broke the existing record. Black is lightly built, but he is a powerful runner with sound judgment and a good sprint. He is improving all the time and should develop into a first-class half-miler H. Nelson, the brilliant young miler. has been unfortunate this season in his health, but is now getting into trim and should be up to his best form by the time of ihe national junior championships.

Fast Scoring Arthur Anderson, who formerly was a member of the Old Boys second eleven in Dunedin, is back in the game in Wellington, playing in the Mercantile League, in which the teams are so numerous that they have to be divided into six grades. Anderson is in the Wright, Stephenson eleven, whose opponents last Saturday batted the full time limit of two hours to make 228 for seven wickets, and then had to declare. Wright, Stephenson, thanks to a notable effort of 174 not out by Anderson, used its two hours to such food purpose that it won easily with 89 for three wickets. Both Anderson’s innings and the teams’ aggregate of just on 500 runs in four hours must have left the spectators well satisfied with their afternoon’s entertainment.

'['HE announcement of Canterbury’s choice for the return match against Otago at Carisbrook, commencing to-morrow, confirms the impression formed earlier that the provinces would be attfe to assemble teams capable of’producing cricket of a class almost up to the pre-war standard. What happened in the Christmas game proved that three-day matches are likely to produce bright episodes and good finishes, and it is unlikely that the rather dull methods which marked the opening stages of that game will be repeated toj-morrow. Runs are the more valuable if they are scored quickly in the shorter war-time period of play. Canterbury’s team includes seven ot those who played against Otago in the first match, but it is unfortunate that it has not been possible to include any of the Army players It is stated

that several who might have oeeu chosen could not be given leave A notable loss apparently was A. E. Ctesswell, described as one of the best medium-pace bowlers seen in Canterbury for many seasons. Dunedin spectators would have enjoyed the opportunity of seeing K. F. M ntUey in action again. but he.

ATTRACTIVE BATTING Although it was too late to save the match, the Carisbrook B batsmen showed a lot of bright form in their second strike against Grange on Saturday. The match was won and lost on the first day, when Grange replied to the Carisbrook total of 131 with 205 for seven wickets; but at their second attempt the Carisbrook players took complete charge. H. K. Claridge was the main success. This youngster, just away from King’s High School, uses a long reach well, and is not afraid to hit the ball hard. His 106 nol out was a most attractive effort, even allowing for the fact that much of the bowling was not deadly by any means and that the North Ground side boundaries are short. He scored heavily in the Carisbrook intermediate team, and has been shaping most promisingly since he moved up into first grade. J. Fraser continued on his scoring way this season by getting a brisk 88, and A. C. Procter had an enjoyable time in putting together 82 not out. The total of 360 for four wickets loses some of its significance when it no longer has any bearing on the match result; but it is further evidence that there are some highly promising young batsmen in the Carisbrook Club. What is more important is that they are being encouraged to play enterprising cricket. That is what the game needs nowadays. Javelin-Thrower in Form R. McKenzie, the former North Otago field athlete, who now wears the Civil Service colours, has struck top form with the javelin. On Monday night, in the junior event, he threw the javelin 163 ft Sin. which is Ift 9in better than his winning effort at the New Zealand Junior Championships last year. McKenzie followed up this performance by winning the senior event with a throw of 163 ft—another outstanding effort for a youth. He is one of the few athletes Otago possesses who seems a certainty to win a national junior title next month Hours of Play The second day of the match between Old Boys and Albion-Y.M.C.A. was begun seven minutes late on Saturday. and as either side had a chance of winning outright the captains agreed that if it were thought necessary either one could claim the extra _ time. Old Bovs had a chance of forcing an outright win. and took the seven minutes, but. incidentally, failed by one wicket to gain the extra points. This granting of extra time is definitely against the existing rules of the Otago Cricket Association, which determine that play shall stop at 6 p.m.. no matter how late the game was in starting. “ South bland Team ”

There is good reason why the Karori eleven in the Wellington cricket competition should be known as “ the South Island team,” for it includes three ex-Otago representatives and two well-known former Christchurch players. One of the Otago men is G. R. Dickinson, whose form has been disappointing, but who in one match before Christmas had an inspired patch and might easily have had a sensational average, if all the chances had been accepted. Don Heenan, formerly of North-East Valley. Grange, and Kaikorai, who is keeping wickets for the side, also kept to Dickinson while representing Otago. On the occasion which has been mentioned, Dickinson showed, according to Heenan, who ought to know, a glimpse of his real old-time form, making the ball whip back from the off, Heenan himself came back to me side after a long spell because the departure of men for war service left it short of a ’keeper. He is having an excellent season, and his name has figured consistently in the score sheets. R. W. Coupland, who played courageously and well in the Otago team which won the Plunket Shield in the 1932-33 season and has maintained his all-round form ever since, is the third Otago man in the team. The Christchurch men in the Karori side are T. Mullan. formerly a Canterbury representative half-back, and C. Williams. Queenstown Regatta

The Queenstown Regatta Club has decided to continue with its annual fixture. The question of the support which could be expected this year in view of war conditions was discussed at the recent annual meeting of the club, when a unanimous decision was reached to arrange the programme for the usual Easter date. The Queenstown regatta has in the past proved a very popular holiday fixture, and there is good reason to expect that it will attract all the available support from 'dubs this season. Promising Young Athlete

A stir was caused among the officials at the Otago Amateur Athletic Centre's meeting at the Caledonian Ground last Monday evening. They commented favourably on the promising manner,in which a St. Clair schoolgirl, J. Ashby, won the Girls’ 50 Yards (under 14) event. This youngster is strongly built and promises to become a fine sprinter.

OTAGO-CANTERBURY MATCH PROMISES BRIGHT CRICKET

too, was unable to make the trip. R. E. J. Menzies, who made a brief appearance for Grange this season, comes into the side, which includes S. Cameron, a new pace bowler, and W. O. Mapplebeck, who on his first appearance at Carisbrook in the 1936-37 season played havoc with the Otago batsmen, taking for 43. The side also has a new wicketkeeper in B. C. Harbidge. A Canterbury side without M. P. Donnelly cannot be said to be truly representative of cricket in that province at the moment; but it was perhaps too much to hope that the army might have spared him for a few days. With the services of such tried performers as W. A. Hadlee. I. B. Cromb, P. P. O’Brien and A. W. Roberts at its disposal and the assistance of rising batsmen in W, McD. Anderson and D. Moynihan. Canterbury will be fielding a strong side. Changes in the Otago team have deprived it of some of its strength. H. R. .lameron could not be released from his duties with th Scottish Battalion, and C. J. Elmes's inability to play is also indirectly due to war conditions. The selection of the Blakely brothers, of M niototo. to fill these vacancies is an interesting choice, more particularly in view of the claims made by that district that its players had not been ?iven adequate consideration.

There is more tnan a suggestion of brilliance in the play of J. D. Blakely, who impressed the critics with his skilful playing of L. Groves’ slow bowling in Maniototo's recent match against a town eleven. J. W. Blakely is a more solid type, tut both have a sound knowledge of the game, and their success would be very popular. Otago’s bowling difficulties may be increased by the inability of N. C. Begg to play, blit the chance that will be' given to the young all-rounder C. Geary will be welcomed. Not since G. R. Dickinson left school has a player forced his way so quickly into representative cricket. Almost without exception the Otago men are at top form, and several of them will have the advantage of batting on a home wicket on which they have already made good scores this season.

It is a match full of interesting possibilities. As has been stated, all the material is available for the production of the best type of cricket. Nothing but “the honour and glory" will be at stake, and only good weather is required to make Dunedin’s sole major engagement of the season an enjoyable experience for all concerned.

Otago Rowing Club Although it did not succeed in winning any the senior class events, the Otago Club had a particularly successful day ft the Waihola regatta on Saturday, i*s crews winning no fewer than five of the 12 races and gaining four minor placings. The club’s most successful oaisman was L. Marshall, who stroxe' the Youths’ Fours und Youths’ Pairs to victory, and also won the Youths’ Single Sculls. North End the other upper harbour club represented at the regatta, had to be content with minor placings only, as also did the oarsmen from the only two "outhland clubs which sent crews —lnvercargill and Invercargill Railway

Old Boys* Fast Bowlers At the beginning of the present' cricket season the loss of G. R. Dickinson was expected to rob Old Boys of pace in its attack. But O. R. Payne, who had in past seasons played second fiddle to Dickinson., was given the responsibility of bearing the brunt of the fast attack, and he improved rapidly both in length and speed. With his departure for camp at the New Year, the team was again without a fast bowler, but N. M. Colvin who. before Christmas was at Burnham, was transferred to Forbury Park, and has stepped into the role of medium-fast bowler with an immediate Other clubs in Dunedin certainly would be grateful for such a supply of good fastish bowlers as OW Boys apparently possess.

Another “ Famous Victory ” h The joy bells in Germany were runt; to celebrate a football victory recently*. when the visiting national team, of Fin*j land was defeated by ,14 goals to niLIt was another famous victory. But th« Goebbels Propaganda .Ministry did not allow it to be disclosed that the Tin- . nish players were travelling lour days by sea air and train. Two nights, too were spent in air taid shelter?. , Obviously. football in Germany is beini carried on under extreme , difficulties , and it was not surprising that th«. Finnish players, travel-weary ' and lacking, sleep, were overwhelmed.
