TWO GALAS: COLONY'S AQUATIC TALENT ON VIEW ON SATURDAY

To Meet In 220 Yards
BY "BACKSTROKE“ -
Swimming fans will and themselves in a dilemma this week-end when they will face the problem of which of two gulas they should attend at the V.R.C.. where the home team will entertain the cream of Lai Tsun talent; or at the "Y" pool where a triangular meet between the Eastern, Chung Shing and the European "Y" will be staged.

Together with Ng Chan-man, the Varsity "star," they will prove a formidable combination to any aquatic squad.
The "Y." too have a great swim mer in G. 7. May who has time, and again proved his prowess. With L. A. Benn and B. S. Wilson, the "Y" representatives will not be altogether out of the picture.
All in all, a postponement of one of the galas should relleve en- thusiasts of a very knotty problem.
