N.Z. 'Varsity Athletes Do Well In Australia

Eeceived Sunday, 7 p.m. SYDNEY, May 29. In an athletics "test" at Sydney University oval, the combined Australian Universities beat New Zealand Universities by 22 points to .17. The New Zealand performanees were excellent considering that they arrived ' in Sydney only last Tuesday. Conditions were adverse. A strong wind blew j direetly along the sprint and hurdles j traek. The distance runners caught ir| particularly along the back streteh of | the 440 yards course. j Treloar put up what was described, as a terrifie run to win the 100 yards event from the New Zealander Batten, in 10 seconds — a performance whieh experts say was equal to 9.7 seconds &t least in normal conditions. The two ran together for the first 50 yards oue then the New Zealander dropped back. Despite a spurt near the finish, the margin was three yards. In the mile relay there was a halfhearted demonstration against J. Grierson when the New Zealander appeared to shoulder H. Eoyal. Officials say, however, that any f ault was Eoyal 's for moving over in the lane. New Zealand won the relay. Other New Zealand successes were the 440 yards, high jump and hop, step and jump. - Batten ran well to take the 440 yards event without trouble despite tho wind. Borland was untroubled lo win the high jump. Kay was unlucky not to do better than second in the broad jump but made no mistake in the hop, step and jump.
