DAY
OF UPSETS AT VANCOUVER
By "RECORDER”
There was only one surprise winner in the athletic events on the first day of the Fifth British Commonwealth and Empire Games at Vancouver and that was Emmanuel Ifeajuna, 19-year-old Nigerian medical students, who won the High Jump at 6 feet 8 inches),
This is an Empire record, beating the foot 7 inches mark set by South Africa's Christion de Jongh in 1950. Ifeajuna jumped 8% inches higher than he has ever done before.
The other winners were the, returned 52.8 seconds to fall by favourites for tho titles they one-tenth of a second to break won, but there were many aur- the Empire record held by John priscs among the finalists and Holland of New Zealand. more surprises in the formidable: But he beat the Games. record list of names that did not reach of 52.5 seconds hold by Duncan the 100 Yards final.
