DIPPING INTO

Junior Champions Still Striving To Play-Off: Commendable Keenness

CONTRARY TO EXPECTATIONS the wash- out of last Saturday has not, so far, at all events, forced the I.R.C. and the Police to share the Shield. I am informed on good authority that the Rocroio Club has been good enough to offer its ground for a game on Saturday next, and provided the weather is reasonably clement a game will be played.

"I have been looking through a great many statistics about the two sides, though I am not very keen on figures. On the whole I think it is a very well balanced game with the Indians having a slightly stronger bowling side, but not quite such a probability of runs as have the Police. Apart from any possible breakdown in, arrangements I hope to give a full report of the game in my final notes next week.

I said' just now that I do not on figures. A vo very much

Wah Yan College Win Governor's Shield

Inter-School Sports Decided By Thrilling Relay

STAVING OFF the challenge of five other Schools, Wah Yan College came from behind in the 1,200 metres relay, the last event of the Inter-School sports at Caroline Hill yesterday, and in a thrilling finish took first plaće, and thereby won the Governor's Shield by one point.

Times and distances were good. The record for the 200 metres was equalled by Clifton Large (DB.S.), the 1,500 metres' was' covered'in' 4 mins..46.6 secs. by C. Truax (D.B.S.); and the high jump reached up to 5ft. 31⁄2 ins Wolfgang Yue just failing to break the record of 5ft. 734 ins.
