STEPHEN XAVIER RUNS

100 YARDS IN

9.8 SECONDS

By "RECORDER”

Stephen Xavier, the Colony Sprint Champion, ran the 100 Yards in 9.8 seconds at the HKAAA Open Meeting at Boundary Street yesterday. This betters his Colony record of 9.9 seconds set at Pokfulam last year, but is not certain to be accepted as a new Colony record.

Officials yesterday were about evenly divided as to whether the performance was a valid one. The course was re-measured and found to be just correct, but there is a difference of opinion as to whether the wind at the time was a following wind or a cross wind. The HKAAA meeting on Tuesday will vote on the validity of the now record.
