By "RECORDER”
King George V School's three-year reign as holders of the Governor's Shield, champions of the Senior Division in the Annual Inter-School Sports, ended yesterday as a La Salle College team of promising sprinters and middle distance ranners ran away from them to a 54-45 victory. Queen's College, collecting 24 points, trailed in third
place.
Paced by two record-breakers, Jackson Lee and Lo Wing-chuen, the La Salle boys won alx of the 11 Senjor events and collected six second places. Two of their most promising runners in last year's sporin-Tony Braga and Stephen Xavier-had to be content with a second, third and fourth and three second places respectively.
A small but game King George V School team turned in performances that would have won the Shield almost any year. This happens to be La Salle's year. Still, the KGV boys, with 3,800 metres of running behind them in the course of the after- noon, outstayed La Salle's quartet, with only 2,100 metres of running to their record up to that stage, In the 1,000 Metres Rolay. In fact, they left La Salle's powerhouse
