PETER WARD SUPERB IN BRUSSELS
5,000 METRES RACE
BRUSSELS, July 16.
British athletes rondered a good account of themselves to-day at the Jubilee meeting of the Royal Belgian Athletic League in the State Heysel. Fifteen events were on a rather long-drawn-out card, and by handsomely winning the relay (800 plus 400 plus 200 plus 100 metres), which was the final race of the day, our fellows won by 89 points, as against France's 80. The others in order were Holland 67, Belgian "A" 49, Belgian "B" 36 and Luxembourg 29 points.
