Nelson College Sports

For the first time in 40 years, the Nelson College annual sports had to be postponed because of rain. The meeting also had an unusual venue - Trafalgar Park. The college main ground was still being reconstructed. School champions were G. Smith (Top Left), senior, G. Nelson (Left), Intermediate, and W. Scott (Below) junior.
