Defeat Of Charles Huang Surprise Of The Evening
BY JIN"
Despite the absence of W. Lawrence, D. H. Taylor and Lutz M. Remedios, three of their male stars. the Victoria Recreation Club managed to bent the Lai Tsun Swimming Union by a margin of 32 points to 23. The home club owed most of their success to their fentale perfomers, which not only won all their events bat broke thren Colony's records.
To Miss Vivienne Churn goes the boueur of being in 3 record performances during one meet, the 50 yards free-style and two re- lays. This charming mermald is undoubtedly the most versatile swimmer in the Colony and would find things pretty easy for her during the coming Championship.
In Celeste Guterres, VRC has another star in the making al- though in her teens this lassie will bear a lot of watching.
The surprise of the evening was the defeat of Charles Ruang title (Shanghai jong distance holder by young Yau Sai Kwah in the 440 yards free-style. This youngster is a protege of the leg- less wonder, Chan Chun Nam, and his style is identical to Chan's only he uses his legs is great advan- tage. Should he improve his torm he is expected to beat his coach and trainer, redoubtable Chan.
ADVANTAGEOUS KULING The new ruling passed by the V.R.C Committee of allowing ladies' swimmers an hour every evening to practice in their pool, bore fruit for they possess without a doubt the strongest ladies team in the Colony
This will greatly weaken the V.R.C. squad but will make them all the more determined to win.
Owing to volunteer training and manoeuvres the date of the big meet has been postponed from July 26 to August 9
W. Lawrence, ex-champion, will have recovered from his strain by that date. and will be competing again.

“WHY I TEACH ENGLISH"
Bishop Song's Talk
At Y's Men's Lunch
The study of the English lan- guage to a foreign student should be an end in itself, not a means to an end, stated the Rt. Rev. Cheng- tst Song, Bishop of Chengtu, when addressing the Hongkong Y's Men's Club yesterday on the subject,, "Why I Teach English.”
Bishop Song, who has taught English at the Szechuen and West China Union Universitles, said that he had been a teacher of the Eng Hish language for more than 20 years, and was not tired of it. He regarded this work as a hobby.

In the course of a long tour of the Continent and the British Isles, which. was interrupted by the out break of the European war, she had lectured before wo- men's groups and other ganisations on China's struggle against her aggressor.
