ON MAY 19 AND 20
་
By "RECORDER”
Nearly all the known leading athletes of the Colony participated in a final compe,itive warm-up at Caroline Hill Stadium yesterday that had been primarily arranged to give thein some final practice and to give all intending competitors an idea' of the standard required to reach the finals of the Colony Championships on May 19 and 20.
The meet also served as an opportunity for the debut locally of the Milocarian Athletic Club, which groups together the athletics enthusinsts among the officers of the three services. The Milocarlans put up a respectable show with their small team and received from the South China Athletic Association, the fosts, a pennant to com- 'memorate the first meeting between the two Clubs.
Interest yesterday was centred in the duels between Alapini, of the Royal Air Force, and Jackson Lee of La Salle College, the Inter-School Champion, in the 100 and 200 Metres and in the return meetingbetween Lo Wing-chuen and Tony Braga in the 400 Metres. The latter two had ruŋ first and second in the Inter-School Sports.
