TENNIS, 1967

Only two members of last year's team remained : J. R. Wood (Captain) and Bennett, who made up the first pair.

Mr. Craine was replaced as coach by Mr. Clarke. We should like to thank Mr. Craine for the vast improvement he has effected in the tennis of the School : we are sorry indeed to lose him. We have, however, every confidence in his successor.

Tennis has at last proved itself important enough to be a major sport. The number of full-time players has almost doubled. Those who made tennis their major summer activity, all representing the School at least at once were: Adams, Hoad, Jenkins, Anderson, Hargreaves, Argyle and Cork.

The Under 15 team had only one fixture this term—with Bootham; but their convincing victory held out great promise for the future.

The House Swimming Finals again produced some very fine individual and team performances. Of the many excellent times recorded, the 58.3 for 100 yds. freestyle by K. J. Sargeant was the most outstanding. This was the first time that any swimmer had been inside one minute for four lengths of the bath. By winning Butterfly and Breast Stroke events J. J. Sargeant showed that his ability was not limited to freestyle swimming. K. Morris is also to be congratulated for his fine swimming and for the very good work he did as team captain of the Manor.

Junior swimmers continued to show the promise which makes the future an exciting prospect.

The fine Junior 100 yds. Freestyle won by C. J. Watson would suggest that there will be more boys capable of breaking the one minute barrier. T. B. Sargeant, in his last year as a Junior showed what a versatile swimmer he is by winning three events and setting two new records. A. Gray, as expected, established new records in bath Breast-stroke events but his 27.2 for 50 yds. Freestyle was his best performance.

Finally a word of thanks to all competitors, officials and spectators, for their part in an interesting and exciting swimming gala.
