afternoon in les. clipping one and three
quarters seconds off the record for this

most perfect for a ecord-breaking per-
Torrance, but the track is n slow one at
its best and was a tri1e dusty. The trial

billed as an effort 10 break the worlds
record of 1:57 %, which is held by Dick
Welles. He was sent away by starter Holt
