Rowing
RACES DECIDED ON LAKE ROTOMA
Trial fours for two trophies, the Rotoma Cup and the W. Hoy Mug, were decided by the Whakatane Rowing Club at its annual picnic at Lake Rotoma on Saturday. A large crowd of members and supporters attended the function. The weather was fine and conditions almost ideal for rowing. For the W. Hoy Mug crews were reversed so that each competitor rowed in an unnatural position in the boat. This caused much amusement to the spectators and, competitors alike. Results:—
Rotoma Cup: First heat: P. Bowering (str), M. Brown (3), M. Brown (2) B. Fitzsimmons (bow), R. Zinsli (cox) beat W. Sandham (str), E. Hunt (3), R. Seebeck (2), V. Boyle (bow), N. Reid (cox).
