REVERSAL IN ENGLISH RUNNING FORM HAS BEEN STRIKING FEATURE OF EMPIRE GAMES

By ARCHIE QUICK

One facet of the British Empire Games has brought to light the curious fact that there has been an almost unseen and gradual reversal in English running form.

In the past, in world competition, England was supreme at the middle distances and woefully weak at sprinting. Not since Alistair McQuordale got to the 1948 Olympic Games sprint final at Wembley has a home man excelled in the short dashes. Indeed, one Emmanuel McDonald Bailey from the West Indies, dominated the AAA 100 yards and furlong races for years.

When the Empire Games were occupied the top platform of the rostrum while the Instituted in 1930 and continued victory
