Vila For Next
The Sixth South Pacific Games, barring accidents or a change of mind by the Games Council, will be staged at Vila in the New Hebrides in 1978.
The Games Council, meeting half-way through the Guam Games, considered three appli cations for the next Games— from the New Hebrides, from thf Solomon Islands and from Fiji, but, according to some officials, not one application complied with the regulations in every respect.
Fiji invalidated its application by making a proviso that the in vitation was for 1979—but article one says the Games shall be held every third year a period which can be varied only if there is a clash with the Olympic Games.
The Games Council, however, decided to overlook a dis crepancy so far as the New Heb rides’ application was concerned and “ awarded” them the Sixth Games.
