BRITISH ATHLETES' TRIUMPH

SUPERB RUNS OF

ROBERTS

AND WOODERSON

By Fred Dartne}}}

Paris, July 26. Although Great Britain defeated France for the fifth time in succession in their athletic international by 66 points to 54 at Colombes yesterday, the French folk have taken their beating in excellent spirit.

Wooderson's Great Run At Ibrox

JUST MISSES A WORLD RECORD

Before 39,000 wildly enthusiastle spectators, Sydney Wooderson, the | English, ille champion, broke both the British and the Scollish all- comera' records for Viree-quarters of a mile at the Rangers' F¡C. sports in Glasgow on Aur. 7.

{

The Binckheath · Harrier's time of 3 min. 0.9 sec. was only three-tenths of a second short of the world's re- cord, which he would most essuredly have beaten but for the adverse effect of a miniature gale.

Records toppled over by this won- derful judge of running pace were Jack Lovelock's British gures of 3 min. 2.sce made at Stamford Bridge in 1932, and the Scottish all- | comers' best of 3 min. 3.8sec., created by Ray Watson (U.S.A.) at the | Rangers' sports in 1928.

Wooderson conceded starts as fol- How: R. H. Thomas (10), B. C. Eeles (12), F. Close (18), and E. E. Lang- dale (21), while Bob Graham, the Scottish champlon, accompanied him
