From Our Own Correspondent RAROTONGA, January 5.
Boxing Day, the Island Sports Associ ation held its track meeting at Titika veka The winner of the cricket ball throwing event. Karika Oramatua, established a local record with a throw of 315 feet. Spectators wondered how this throw compares with that of say, a first-class fieldsman, or with the standard throw in open competition elsewhere.
The tug-of-war was won by a team from Aorangi, which pulled against Titikaveka in the final round. The victory for Aorangi compensated for loss of the “Au Vaine” Cup year by that village, at the hands of Titikaveka.
