Unfortunate Ending To "Mile Of Century'

American Denies 'Foul"! Charge But Apologises To Sydney Wooderson

By Lawton Carver

Princeton (N.J.), June 17.

Crics of "Foul play!" echoed through American track and field yesterday as the aftermath of the internationally heralded "Mile of the Century." Fettered to last place, Sydney Wooderson's American debut goes down among outstanding fiascos of all time.

"I was fouled," "the bespectacled, frail little London solicitor gasped as he galloped last across the fmishing line in a five-man race.

"I definitely was fouled when I lunged towards the inside of the track boundary," sald Wooderson. "Rideout and I were running abreast when suddenly he swank over in front of me. forcing me wide, breaking -my siride, and the rest passed me. Rideout later apologized for the mishap."

Refuting Wooderson's claims. Rideout rave his version: "Twles I tried to race pant Wooderson on the back stretch. Both times he bore out, forcing me back, Finally I decided to go through us I had outside room, but on reaching the tur Wooderson stretched out his hand, pushing fuc and forcing himself rall- wards."

V.R.C. Too Strong For Chung Shing

Victorlu Recreation Club In a Water-polo League match last night defeated Chung Shing Benevolent Soclety by six gouls to two after leading at the interval by three to one. The game was very fast, clean and exciting, and the home team deserved their victory.

The return of Wilfred Lawrence, Colony swimming champion, to the centre-half berth, made a vast dif- ference to the V.R.C., who were then equally balanced by a fast swimmer in attack and in defence. D. H. Taylor, however, again secured the major honours and scored three goals, his laat being from the halfway mark which had Tong Shiu-fel beaten all the way.

V.R.C. were without the services of S. V. Gitting, their skipper, who was indisposed, but A. J. Hussain the breach and was brought into played a fairly useful game, although he was guilty of swimming over on occusions. Delgado was very sound in defence and gave little away, his distribution being accurate and well timed.

Inferiority Complex

Chung Shing entered the water with an inferiority complex and thie was probably the reason for their defeat. They were as a side every bit as good as their hosts, but the telling weight of Taylor, at centre- forward, Lawrence, at centre-half, and Hussain in defence, broke their morale and in the closing stages they players of the ball
