Athletics: The Season's Prospects

H. M. Abrahams
Harold Abrahams is one of the greatest athletes of the post-war years. In 1922 he was President of the Athletic Club at Cambridge ; and he has represented Great Britain in the Olympic Games. One of his achievements was in 1924 at the Olympic Games in Paris when, with that long raking stride which was a characteristic of his, he beat the finest sprinters in the world in the 100 metres Final. His time for this race was 10 3/5 seconds.
