OUTRUNS FORMER 1,500 METRES RECORD HOLDER BY 20 METRES IN 3' 36"
Goteborg, Aug. 28. Australia's wonder runner, Herbert Elliott, today smashed the world 1,500 metres record in 3 minutes, 36.0 seconds at the international “August Games" before a delirious crowd of 40,000 the largest ever to attend an athletics meeting in Sweden.
The frantic cheering continued as cameramen and television crews crowded on to the track, and it was not until Elliott had completed a lap of honour that the crowd would allow him to return to the dressing room.

Season
The Hongkong cricket season is just around the corner and rivalry is once again expected to be very keen among the various teams. As at the beginning of every previous season, there are bound to be this year a number of new faces and of course, many of the old ones too. Our personality this week is in neither one of these two brackets.
