TE AWAMUTU AMATEUR ATHLETIC AND CYCLING CLUB HANDICAPS FOR THIS WEEK’S MEETING The following are the handicaps for the Te Awamutu Amateur Athletic and Cycling Club’s twilight meeting this week. The performances of the local athletes will be carefully watched, in view of selection for the Waikato championships to be held this month. In the cycling division there is West, Rhodes, Hughes, Cameron and G. Redgate all showing excellent form, and in the junior ranks the youthful Southcombe is showing much improvement and with more serious training plus more thought to tactical riding will give him an opportunity to be a successful Te Awamutu representativewhile last week’s form of Johnny Emery and Maurice Macken local senior and junior sprint runners was excellent, although Macken’s starting is faulty but on correction he will be capable of much better. The Te Awamutu Club will be strongly represented in the 440 yards events by M. Hughes, junior grade and by Ken Peace, the former Auckland quartermiler in the senior grade. Peace, who has registered some very fast times on the city tracks will be a decided asset to the local club. At present the club lacks competitors in the ladies’ events at the twilight meetings and it is hoped that some of the more youthful young ladies will make a start this week. The cycling handicaps have been declared by Mr Jim Robertson and the athletic division by Mr Fowyn Jones. Club boys (9 and under) 75yds: O. Yardley scr., B. Mackay Iyd, G. McLeish 2yds, D.
