SWIMMER OF THE YEAR WINS ONLY ONE EVENT -AND THAT'S ENOUGH! By "Recorder"
Hongkong's swimmer of the year emerged out of semi-obccurity on the final night of the Colony Swimming Championship finals on Saturday and it was high time after having played second fiddle to his younger brother for two years.
William Teo, who is a good few years older than younger brother Cheong Kin-man, who reigned supreme at the Championships from 100 yards to 880 yards, won the 60 Yards Free Style in 24.2 seconds and that without the competition of former record-holder George Saunders, who had set the old mark of 21.4 seconds in the heats in 1947,

NEW FACES
Talk of British racing circles today is 14-year-old Lesler Piggott, who bas just ridden his 40th winner against senior jockeys and is, therefore, losing his apprentice's allowance and becoming one of the turf's youngest senior jockeys in history.
