For Pacific Is. Sportsmen
pp. 57-58 · Read in the full issue
It is a truism that sport recognises no class, color, or boundary, and the Pacific Islands are no exception.
Wherever one may find a group of Europeans in any of the ten thousand scattered islands, there also one will find ample facilities for sport. When in need of sporting goods and material, Pacific Islands sportsmen cannot do better than com municate with the Sydney firm of W. A. Oldfield Ltd. At this well-known sports store the cricket material sold is produced under the personal supervision of Mr. W. A. Oldfield, the famous international wicketkeeper—now touring England with the 1934 Australian Test Team. For golfers, the firm has engaged the professional golf cham pion, Mr. V. Richardson, under whose tuition Pacific Islands golfers, when in Sydney can learn some finer points of golf which may considerably reduce their handicap. The store also has a large range of racquets and tennis goods. An illustrated catalogue, showing the latest cricket, golf and tennis equipment, may be obtained by writing direct to Messrs. Oldfield & Co.
A course of lectures in tropical hygiene and sanitation has been instituted at the Sydney University by the School of Pub lic Health and Tropical Medicine. The lectures, which are free, commenced on June 6, and were attended by a large class of missionaries, nurses, and other persons who anticipate residing in the tropics. The classes will be held three times each week until August 10.
