Review of Swimming Season Reveals Progress Among Ladies Misses Ho Wai-King And J. Anderson Outstanding
Ng Nin The Outstanding All-Rounder
By ""Natator"
"THE MANILA INTERPORT, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN A PERFECT CONCLUSION TO A MOST SUCCESSFUL SWIMMING SEASON, BEING NOW DEFINITELY ABANDONED, SWIMMING ACTIVITY HAS COME TO AN ABRUPT END.
It cannot be denied that the season just con- cluded has been a most successful one, a point which is borne out by the excellent results obtained at the Colony Championships.
A review of the season reveals some amazing progress, especially among the ladies, a large num- ber of whom have jumped almost direct from the novice class to championship standard. Miss Ho Wai-king of Chinese Bathing Olub and Miss Jacque- line Anderson of V.R.C. are undoubtedly the most improved swimmers of the season, both reaching Interport standard, with only one season's training
behind them!
