Eustace Again

BREAKS 220 YDS RECORD Performances At Aucklani Club's Meeting: N. R. Amble Runs Fast Mile A. R. P. Eustace, national junior 12* yards hurdles record-holder, gave fui ther proof of his undoubted ability whei he chopped l-5s off the New Zealaiw 220 yards hurdles record at the Aucklani club's open meeting at the Olympi Stadium this afternoon. The track \va very dead and Eustace ran into a win< for most of the journey, but he hurdlet in flawless fashion to clock 26 l-ss, whicl bettered by l-5s the record establishe< recently at Napier by the Aucklander, J M. Holland. Earlier in the day, Eustace attemptec to improve on his own national figure of 15s for the 120 yards hurdles and though he failed to achieve success, In gave a brilliant performance against thi wind to return an. even 15s. The meeting attracted large entries am competition throughout was keen an( interesting. R. Agate, the New Zealam sprint champion, raced into third place ii his heat of the 100 yards, but he did no contest the final. K. W. Greville, tloubli winner at Wellington last week, made ; bold bid to win the half-mile, but hi found the handicap too severe am finished third just ahead of J. Ward, of the five yards mark. W. G. Heron, in an endeavour to im prove on his New Zealand figures for thi pole vault, narrowly failed to clear llf B£in. N. R. Ambler, Auckland mile Cham pion, ran what must have been the fastes mile of the Auckland season when h< finished second to Opperman in 4.25. I was a splendid performance.
