In 1922 he was President of the Athletic Club at Cambridge, and at the Olympic Games in Paris in 1924, he put up one of his greatest performances by beating the finest sprinters in the world in the 100 metres Final. He is a well-known broadcaster and gave the running commentary on the Oxford and Cambridge Sports held at the White City in March this year.
HATFIELD AERODROME. It is good news that the commentator here is to be Ivor McClure , who gave a brilliant talk entitled ' Making Flying Safe ' in the recent Conquest of the Air series.
