Shows Them How!
FIJIAN javelin thrower Villiame Liga showed an Australian crowd in Brisbane in November that he could beat the Empire Games javelin record.
After two throws past the Queens land record, he managed to get his third attempt 9 ft farther —to reach 226 ft. But then he overstepped the mark, and fouled.
The Empire figures of 224 ft 9i ins. were set by Queenslander Jim Achurch, in Canada, in 1954.
Liga is a divinity student at the Queensland University. During the Brisbane meeting he threw 217 ft lOi ins., which is a new Queensland open record.
