R. Loveridge, 16 years old champion miler for the year at the Wallasey Grammar School, broke the 25 years old school mile record on June 26th. The record of 4 mins. 47.8 secs, was set up in 1922 by W. C. Richards. This record was broken in the Old Boys v. School athletics match, and in winning the event Loveridge also broke the meeting record set up last year by J. Edwards (Old Wallaseyans) of 4 mins. 45.5 secs. Loveridge's time was 4 mins. 44.2 secs.
