Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: AAA Championships. DESCRIPTION: AAA Championships at the White City London, and the eight-eighty. Hewson (number one) went on to win from Rawson in one minute fifty-two. The Mile started rather slowly. No-one seemed keen on setting a hot pace or breaking records on this occasion. These tactics evidently suited Ken Wood (number 35), who won this event three years ago. Running the last lap at a sizzling pace, he beat John Anderson by about three yards. The three miles were easily won by Bruce Tulloh (number 25), who run this race at-least fifteen seconds faster than his previous best.
