A BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE
(By "Tinker”).
THE FIRST of the Colony 'swimming records expected to be broken this year was that of the 880 yards free-style during the heats at the Vic- toria Recreation Club yesterday, when Chan Chun-nam fulfilled expectations and shattered W. Lawrence's five-year old time of 11 mins. 47.4/5 sacs. by 32.1/5 secs., setting up a now mark (which will stand for quite some time) of 11 mins. 15.3/5 secs.
Not only this, but the promise that the 440 yardı re- cord is also to be broken was made, for in his record- breaking swim, Chan clocked 5 mins. 28 secs, for the quarter-mile, which time is only 1.3/5 seconds outside Lawrence's record of 1935!
