BRITISH ATHLETES' TRIUMPH
SUPERB RUNS OF ROBERTS
AND WOODERSON
(By Fred Dartnell)
Paris, July 26.
Wooderson's
Great Run At Ibrox
JUST MISSES A WORLD RECORD
Before 50,000 wildly enthusiastic spectators, Sydney Wooderson, the English mile champion, broke both the British and the Scottish all- comera" records for three-quarters of a mile at the Rangers' F.C. sports in Glasgow on Aug. 7.
The Blackheath Harrler's time of 3 min, 0,0 sec. was only three-tenths of a second short of the world's re- cord, which he would most assuredly have beaten but for. the adverse effect of a miniature gale.
Records toppled over by this won- 'derful judge of running pace were Jack Lovelock's British figures of 3 mln. 2.2sec., made at Stamford Bridge in 1832, and the Scottish all- comers' best of 3 min. 3.8sec., created by Ray Watson (U.S.A.) at the Rangers' sporis in 1928.
Wooderson conceded starts as fol- low: B. H. Thomas (10), B. C. Ecles (12), F. Close (10), and E. E. Lans- dale (21), while Bob Graham, the on the scratch mark. Scottish champion, necompanied him
