JENNIFER CLEARS ANOTHER EIGHTH OF AN INCH

ì

By "RECORDER"

The heats of the Army Championships at Boundary Street yester- day turned up the fastest Army furlong in this Colony in many years. Sgt. Dockree of the Royal Norfolk Regiment won his heat in 23.2 seconds around the two bends which Stephen Xavier recently negotiated in a re- markable 22.9, while L/Cpl. Crane of the Dorset Regiment, former Champion of the British Army in Austria, won another heat in 23.5 seconda third best ever at Boundary Street.

Such sprinting has not been seen from the Army here in soveral decades. The post-war Army record toppled by no less than eight-tenths of a second,

The Royal Norfolks also turned up another of the day's big surprises when Major Chapman won the Pole Vault at a modest 9 feet 9 inches from LL, Reep of the Dorsets, who cleared 9:6,

ON SPRING ALONE

La Salle College's George Thumb is no newcomer to the Colony's first rank in the High and Long Jumps. He was second and third respectively in these two events at the last Colony Championships.

He is oven better this year than he was last April and has already cleared 5 feet 6 inches over the bar and over 21 feet in the Long Jump.

Depending on spring only in either ovent, his chances of becoming a double Colony record-holder are very good if he learns the technique of the two events,—— China Mall Photo.
