Rise again triumphed, 5-3, but Temple gave them a good run for their money. Once more thanks must go to all those who were cajoled by Mr. Holbeche to assist him in umpiring these matches.

SWIMMING, 1960

Lack of enthusiastic training and "loss" of swimmers to other sports have been partly responsible for the School team losing its two swimming fixtures against Welbeck College and Bootham School. But there is an encouraging keenness among the younger members of the team; in some of the senior events the juniors had to fill the places, often with great credit.

INTER-HOUSE SWIMMING

Flaming June lived up to its reputation, but much valuable practice time was lost by eventual competitors in the House Sports. By the time July arrived, not only did the weather deteriorate considerably but the demands of examinations added further to the difficulties of finding time for training. As a result, with the exception of C. D. Ibberson's record in the Open 50 yds. Breast-stroke event, performances were hardly up to standard.

Competition for the Kazerooni Cup became a runaway affair for The Manor, who were well represented in all age-groups.
