OLYMPIC GAMES.
N.Z. REPRESENTATION,
(PftISS ASBOCIATIOM TXLKOKAU.) • WELLINGTON, November 16. "Nobody will be sent merely for the purposes of representing New Zealand," said Mr P. N. Bundle, chairman of the Management Committee of the New Zealand Olympic Association to-day, when reviewing the Auckland criticism of the advisability of sending a team to represent the Dominion at Amsterdam next year "Only those athletes who are considered" to have a chance of reaching the final of their event will be sent, and to reach an Olympic final means that a man is one of the six best athletes in his class in the world," he said. In such a case sending him to the Games will be well worth while. The money which the Association is asking is designed, not to send a team of about four players, as has been suggested, but a team of 20 to 24.
