The Empire Games Are A Mouth Away

The Empire Games are just a month away-they start February 4 at Auckland, New Zealand. Most of the teams have now been selected and we are nearer to knowing who will and will not be competing.
The Dominion "giants" will not have the challenge of Trialdad and British Guinen or Hongkong for that matter. I doubt that we would have placed any- where, but we could have made an effort to be there.
The Empire in Asia will be represented by Malaya and Ceylon. There will even be several Chinese, if none from Hongkong. Among them will be Ng Liang- chiang, the Malaya Low Hurdles Champion.
