AMMUNITION INDEED FOR

ONLY THREE HKAAA RECORDS AT FIRST OPEN MEETING

The first Open Meeting of the Hongkong Amateur Athletic Association season yesterday produced only three

new

records instead of the usual quota of half a dozen.

Standards were certainly not high, though the crowd that had gathered-at 60 cents a head by the time the last event was run off received full value for their money.

What a fantastic week-end! Surely the greatest soccer mockery in even our checkered existence has been enacted right before our eyes. We have been treated to the sort of p football that sends writers like me searching for the strongest possible line in "slanguage" and one can only hope that some of what is supposed to have happened behind the scenes will encourage those who have recently been declaring themselves onthusiastic supporters of the 'Battle of Britton' campaign to pross ahead with their deliberations and to do so with over increasing urgency.

WORLD 5,000 M RECORD

A Magnificent Solo Effort

Rome, Oct. 13. Vladimir Kuts, Russia's double Olympic Gold medalist, broke the World 5,000 Metres record here today with a time of 13 minutes 35.0 seconds. The record of 13 mins 36.8 secs was set by Gordon Pirlo, of Britain, at Bergen in June last year. The crowd went wild with excitement when Kuts crossed the line an easy winner, They had main- fained a continuous roar throughout the race and torches, improvised from newspapers and pro- grammes, blazed around the Olympic Stadium. It was a magnificent solo effort by Kute. Taking the lead from the start he and his compatriot Peter Bolotnikov soon opened up a gap of about 200 yards over the remaining 15 competitors.

On His Own

Bolotnikov fell almost half way through and Kuts was left out in front on his own. As he lopped runner after runner the noise from the crowd WAIK deafening and the announcer had to call for order to give the inp times.

But all semblance of order was losi us Kuls swung easily into the home straight to a tremendous ovation.

yesterday evening was a greyed veteran of the local sporting world, slightly hard of hearing as many veterans are, but otherwise still sound of limb and eye, who had watched Army North in action, at home, to the Optimists' on Saturday.

He informed me that the Optimists were getting somewhat ragged in their fielding and that they seemed to be entirely devoid of any bowling. However, I note from an article in a contemporary that the Optimists are not devoid of a sense of humour, which fact alone atones for many another shortcoming.
