The Inter-House Swimming Competition concluded the swimming programme for the term, in what must undoubtedly have been quite the most unattractive season imaginable. Two new records were established-the first by the Grove Intermediate relay team who clipped 7Ao of a second off the previous existing record in the heats, and the second by R. A. Hodgson in the 100 yds. Senior Free-style race, when he bettered by 1 second the record he had earlier established against Welbeck College.
