LINCOLNS WILL RELY ON "OLD GUARD" DURING SOCCER SEASON
2 COLONY AQUATIC RECORDS BROKEN
LAWRENCE STAVES OFF CHINESE CHALLENGE
LAU PO-HAY SWIMS POORLY JUDGED RACE
(By Crawl")"
FULLY extended in both races, Wilfred Law.
rence yesterday evening broke both the Colony records for the 100 Yards Free Style and the 100 Yards Back-Stroke, staving off a strong Chinese challenge in both events.
Probably the finest race seen in the V.R.C. bath for a num- ber of seasons, the 100 Yards Free Style was one big thrill from start to finish, and the result was in doubt until the last length, when the holder streaked away to a new bath and Colony mark of 672/5 secs.".
The surprise of the night was the defeat of Chan Chan- The Chinese swimmer got hing by Lawrence in this event. away to a bad start, but he came on terms with Lawrence just before the 75-yard mark and, but for a very bad turning at the crucial moment, might have dead-heated. Completely missing the wall, however, the Chinese challenger was conse quently left about two yards in the rear. He nevertheless beat Gittins who came third, by a comfortable margin.
Malpas, above, will be partner

(By "Rover")
THE Lincolnshire Regiment, which commenc- ed last season's soccer programme with a tidal rush of success, but which cracked up at the crucial stage owing to reliefs breaking up the team, have practically no newcomers for the forthcoming season.
Unfortunately, the Lincolns will not be with us for very long, as they will leave the Colony in January for another station. Those of us who have witnessed their performances will miss the tricky runs of Ridley, and the bustling methods of Higgins, while Baldry, who played for the Colony against. Shanghai in 1933, will also be sorely missed.
With the departure of Meakin for Home. the Lincolns will rely upon Read, their reserve custodian, between the sticks this coming season.
