Rundle's Rule

A LL this nasty back-wash, m connec- "■ tion with Olympic affairs must be

very nauseating to men like Philip Norman Rundle, whose close connection with swimming circles brought him m as one of the main slip-planks for the launching of the New Zealand Olympic enterprise. As chairman of the Olympic Council m Wellington for a time, Rundle was Cully alive to the national import of Olympic representation, and with commenda b 1 c foresight drew up his policies on sound/reconstructive lines to induce the .national spirit, which, "though somewhat belated, was a memorable feature of last season's call upon the public. Thet New Zea-

land was repre^ sented m Paris m 1924 was m a great measure due to Rundle's enterprise, and, to put it m a nutshell, Philip has always been a big fillip to international interests of sport. ■ ■ ' He is one of those steady-headed lovers of clean, good sport who can manifest just as much energy and enthusiasm m an administrative capacity as m the actual game 3 arena. In Christchurch, the place of his birth, Rundle was once well known as a swimmer,/ and the swing of a hockey stick m the winter season kept his shoulders m trim for the alternate weilding of the willow m the flannels-ahd-blazer months.
