STRAY SHOTS

I think that a very good case can be made out for increasing the number of the party to Australia, even for taking up 22.—George Gunn. America was going to show the world at the Olympic Games. We thought we had men to beat Lord Burgh ley, Lowe, Williams, and Atkinson. We haven’t.—Charles Paddock. * * * The British runners have got us all beaten in racing mentality—levelheadedness. They use their brains to better advantage on the track. —Paddock Again. It is interesting to note that the New Zealand team was composed mainly of players developed during last season,
