GOOD LITTLE MEN Percy Wililams, world champion over 100 metres and 200 metres, must be built on the same lines as is C. J. Lane, the plucky little Victorian sprinter, who, weighing only 9st. 41b.. ran such a great race in a heavy wind to collect second place in the last Australasian 220yds championship. Here is the description of the Canadian sprinter that is given by a New Zealander who saw him in action at the Olympic Games: "Williams, who hails from Vancouver, is a small, pale fellow of 19. Though he weighs just over 9st, he has a steady, powerful stride and a terrific finish.”
