Scored 111 Points in Goal Kicks During Present Club Rugby Season
(From Our Resident Reporter) WELLINGTON, Thursday. A N extraordinary record in goal-kicking has been made by S. Ramson, eentre-threequarter in the Victoria University College team, which has just won the senior champion-
stop in Wellington. In 13 matches Ramson has kicked 111 points, or almost half the points his side has scored. This is said to be the first occasion on which a Wellington player has “scored a century” since the war. J. A. Malcolm, former Wellington representative fullback, and Mark Nicholls, have both been in the eighties, and Malcolm once reached the nineties. A curious side of Ramson’s performance is that the team in which he plays has a very strong back-line, including three All Blacks and two provincial representatives, and is a fine try-getting combination.
Ramson is also Australian and New Zealand 440 yards hurdles champion.
