LADY ATHLETES
MISS EASTWOOD'S SPEED
SUGGESTED FOR OLYMPIAD
(Special to the Herald.) WELLINGTON, this day.
Miss Nancy Eastwood, the Gisborne lady athlete, was honored by the Council of tho New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association when that body decided to forward her name to the Olympic. Council as being up to Olympic Games standard. Mr. E. G. Guy, who made the suggestion, said that ho considered Miss Eastwood's recent performance in Wellington Basin Reserve made her most likely to bring honors to the Dominion at the next games. Tho secretary, Mr. L. A. Tracey, stated that Miss Eastwood's time was J-sscc. slower than the world's record, although it would not be recognised as a New Zealand record owing to the fall of the grounds. The latter defect, however, was counterbalanced by the heavy state of the track.
