BY RECORDER

Finals of the annual Inter-school sports for the Governor's Shield Will be fought out af the Caroline all Stadium this afternoon, with Wah Yan, last year's winners, very nearly out of the running, and La Salle the probable champioris.

Strongest competition will come from King's Collège, with St. Stephen's another formidable chai- lenger if they manage to score as heavily in the held events as was indicated in Tuesday's trials.

The elimination in the heats of Wolfgang Yue, winner last year of the high jump and hurdles, has diminished St. Stephen's chances to a considerable extent. but they have qualined a number of boys and may yet do well.
