SWIMMING SPORTS, SUMMER TERM, 1935. 27TH JULY.

The Swimming Sports this year were more keenly contested than they had been for many previous years. The weather was bleak and cold for swimming, but the competitors did not let that worry them. The School House had already won the Relay Race, with the Rise second. Lund, one of the School's fastest swimmers, was unable to swim for the Rise in this or any of the following events.

One of the closest races was between N. L. Colbeck (School House) and A. W. Douglas (Rise) in the Senior Speed, which latter won by two inches. Colbeck then fought C. H. Vasey (Rise) to a draw in the Senior Dive, it being impossible to judge between them. M. P. L. Wall (School house) gained a creditable victory over D. W. Watson (Rise) in the Senior Breast-stroke. The Rise, however, withstood the challenge, and gained the Swimming Cup, which was kindly presented to the School last November by H. S. Abut Casem Kazerooni, Esq.

After the events, Mr. K. H. Rhodes' diving squad gave a sound display of trick diving. EVENTS. (1) Junior Speed. (1) D. Lynch (Day Boys). (2) H. C. Addison (School House). (2) Senior Speed. (1) A. W.
