DIPPING INTO
Junior Champions Still Striving To Play-Off: Commendable Keenness
CONTRARY TO EXPECTATIONS the wash- out of last Saturday has not, so far, at all events, forced the I.R.C. and the Police to share the Shield. I am informed on good authority that the Rocroio Club has been good enough to offer its ground for a game on Saturday next, and provided the weather is reasonably clement a game will be played.
"I have been looking through a great many statistics about the two sides, though I am not very keen on figures. On the whole I think it is a very well balanced game with the Indians having a slightly stronger bowling side, but not quite such a probability of runs as have the Police. Apart from any possible breakdown in, arrangements I hope to give a full report of the game in my final notes next week.
I said' just now that I do not on figures. A vo very much

Wah Yan College Win Governor's Shield
Inter-School Sports Decided By Thrilling Relay

Times and distances were good. The record for the 200 metres was equalled by Clifton Large (DB.S.), the 1,500 metres' was' covered'in' 4 mins..46.6 secs. by C. Truax (D.B.S.); and the high jump reached up to 5ft. 31⁄2 ins Wolfgang Yue just failing to break the record of 5ft. 734 ins.
