MALCOLM MARSH WINS THE BATTLE OF THE ALL-ROUNDERS
By "RECORDER”
Malcolm Marsh won the Hongkong Amateur Athletic Club's Third Annual Pentathlon Championship at Wah Yan College Kowloon yesterday with an impressive total of 2,456 points from Colin Brand (2,350) and Tsang Chun-him (2,336). The standard was the highest in the three years of this annual event and it is noteworthy that Samuel Lo in eighth place was only 511 points behind the winning total.
Tony Collam, third in 1953 and runner-up last year, only managed sixth place, but he wasn't completely recovered from an injury. Stephen Xavier, who finished fourth with his best performance in three years, also had a game leg and was unable to go all out in the 440 Yards,
Tsang Chun-him, led after two events: with. 1,059 points, ahead of Marsh's 1,028, Xavier's 945, Brand's 899 and Collsco's 970. This come as a surprise. Teang. who had no particular reputation as a shotputter, won the event.
The competitors were divided into two groups. Marsh, doing
the High Jump for his third event, cleared a useful 5 feet to reach 3,512 points while Brand, s expected picked up in the Jarpelin Throw to reach 1,499. Other leading scores events
