PETER WARD SUPERB IN BRUSSELS

5,000 METRES RACE

BRUSSELS, July 16.

British athletes rendered a good account of themselves to-day at the Jubilee meeting of the Royal Bolgian Athletic League in the State Hoysol. Fifteen events were on a rather long-drawn-out card, and by handsomely winning the relay (800. plus 400 plus 200 plus 100 metros), which was the final race of the day, our fellows won by 89 points, as against France's 80. The others in order were Holland 67, Belgian "A" 49, Belgian "B" 36 and Luxembourg 29 points.

Outstanding fenfure of the aquatics was a fine display of diving by Cpl. Holdsworth, of Headquarters Wing, who was the best individual per- former. His front running one-and- u-half-somersault and Flying Dutch- man were very good, while his back- inck-back-dive from the low board was also very commendable. He looks a strong contender for the inter-unit title.

The standard of swimming on the whole was not very good, the absence of L/Cpl. Stemp, who succumbed to a heart attack during the area athletic championships in March being most noticeable. He
