BRITISH ATHLETES' TRIUMPH

SUPERB RUNS OF ROBERTS

AND WOODERSON

(By Fred Dartnell)

Paris, July 26.

Wooderson's

Great Run At Ibrox

JUST MISSES A WORLD RECORD

Before 50,000 wildly enthusiastic spectators, Sydney Wooderson, the English mile champion, broke both the British and the Scottish all- comera" records for three-quarters of a mile at the Rangers' F.C. sports in Glasgow on Aug. 7.

The Blackheath Harrler's time of 3 min, 0,0 sec. was only three-tenths of a second short of the world's re- cord, which he would most assuredly 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 figures of 3 mln. 2.2sec., made at Stamford Bridge in 1832, and the Scottish all- comers' best of 3 min. 3.8sec., created by Ray Watson (U.S.A.) at the Rangers' sporis in 1928.

Wooderson conceded starts as fol- low: B. H. Thomas (10), B. C. Ecles (12), F. Close (10), and E. E. Lans- dale (21), while Bob Graham, the on the scratch mark. Scottish champion, necompanied him
