ATHLETICS
FOR AMSTERDAM N.Z. OLYMPIC TEAM SATISFACTORY REPORT. [ Australian Press Assn. } LONDON, June 25. “Everybody is well and training steadily. There has been no heavy work thus far, but we hope to reach the zenith of our form at Amsterdam,” says Mr Amos, manager of rhe New Zealand Olympic team in summing up the team’s progress. The swimmers and runners will probably compete at several meetings in London before their departure for Amsterdam on July 26. Miss Norma Wilson, the athlete, ran unplaced in the Middlesex Club’s handicap on Saturday, but Mr Amos was not surprised at that as she is not yet in championship form. Mr Amos is endeavouring to arrange for a British athletes’ tour of New Zealand in 1929, but there is no announcement at present owing to financial problems and the difficulty of securing leave. He is also negotiating a month’s tour in South Africa -for the New Zealanders when en route home.
