SWIMMING There is possibly no more fitting programme for the start of a swimming season than Swimming Standards. This once again was won convincingly by the Manor with an average standard of 14.22 pts. per boy out of 20. Thus marking a further upward trend well beyond even last year's improvement. Other Houses were less energetic and thorough in their approach, but n6 less than 24 boys scored maximum points. Final Result:
1. Manor 2. S. House 3. Queen's 4. Temple 5. Grove 6. Rise 7. Dronfield
14.22 12.14 11.87 11.09 11.06 10.37 9.14
Remaining Swimming events including the Sports will be published in the next edition. R.F.H.
WATER POLO CLUB '73 '74 For the first time the Club functioned during the Christmas Term. Training took place as usual twice a week, on a voluntary basis. The results achieved do not reflect the true picture however, because both of the tournaments were played on Saturday evenings, after many boys had played rugby matches. The main aim of the term was to integrate younger boys into the senior team. This was achieved, and three boys, C. Dalby, V. Matthews and S. Dench each distinguished themselves in this respect. The Easter Term results reflected the good work of the previous term. We were helped by the fact that swimming is a full-time option during the term, and the standard of fitness rose noticeably. Paul Scott returned to the team, and his excellent goalkeeping saved many goals. The team soon established itself and beat Harrogate, Ampleforth and Bootham easily. Doncaster were also overcome. However, Halifax beat us again; one good point was that on this evening the team played better than ever before. The U.15 team, as we expected, beat everyone without a great deal of difficulty until they came to Halifax, where they achieved a draw. Altogether the future seems bright for water polo in the School. 43 —
