Olympic Committee
Of Hongkong Appeals For Public Support
At the first annual general meeting of the Amateur Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hongkong yesterday, Mr Kwok Chan, Vice-President, appealed to all members as well as the general public to give the Federation their whole-
hearted support and co-operation.
The Record Laws Are Out Of Date
Says McDonald Bailey
The British Amateur Athletle Board have rejected the four applications made on my behalf for sprint Tecords which I set up recently over the 100 and 200 yards at Cambridge, Glasgow and Imber Court: Now It would be rather unsporting of me to question the merits und demerits of the Board, but hasn't the time come when the Board should Investigate more stringently the present wind allowance which is a dead 2.3 mph?
I am convinced that this mengre allowance is not only farcical but unfair. Even the 4.8 mph wind at Im ber Court on July 5, when I did 20.5 sec., was not fast enough to raise a straw, let alone anything else.
yt otr peatedly turned down on ne- count of these called strong following winds. Do not think that I am ignoring official And- ings. I am all for the correct thing. otherwise rec.d elafius of all descriptions would be a comparatively easy and monplace matter.

com-
My contention is, however- and many other share the same view-that a revision should be made about
question of wind allowance, and, a it is becoining a rather vexed one.
