AMATEUR ATHLETICS.
AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND. ANNUAL FIXTURES PROPOSED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Thursday. The proposal that annual contests should he hold between athletic teams of Australia and New Zealand was discussed and supported by the Canterbury Amateur Athlctio Centre this evening. A resolution was carried that the centre should write to the New Zealand Council pressing for the revival of the contests, and suggesting that the Melbourne centenary celebrations offered a suitable occasion for carrying out this plan. The president of the centre, Mr. J. K. Moloney, said that whoever had been responsible for the discontinuance of the Australasian championships had done a great disservice to New Zealand athletics. Either the championships should be restored or the Australia v. New Zealand contests introduced.
