Swimming

In all clubs, coxes tend to be considered a necessary addition to a crew purely for reasons of safety. In fact a cox has more influence than anybody on the character of a crew, and in a race may well prove the most important member. In particular C. Ryan and C. R. Barton are to be congratulated on the manner they coxed throughout the season. Being the only survivor of last year's 1st VIII, H. N. Blackford was an obvious choice as captain, but he proceeded to prove himself one of the best we have had, and personally did much for the success of the 1st IV.

Two Clinker IVs have been ordered from Banhams, Cambridge, for next April, and will greatly facilitate training next summer. We are very grateful to Crombie for the work he has done in the Boat House, and we thank the carpenters for all the repairs they have carried out to boats which are becoming more fragile every year. A boat ten years, let alone twenty or thirty years old, requires considerable care, and there is no question that boys can exercise more attention in their handling of all equipment.

With great pleasure we welcome Mr. Duncan, who joined the Boat Club in mid-June. With five 1st VIII Colours remaining next season, we look forward with some confidence. The regatta season is always attraotive: let us hope it will be successful.
