(By R. Abbit)
THE principal feature of last Saturday's cricket in the First Division was the success of the Civil Service, who beat the University team by ten wickets, and so won their first League encounter since the season of 1931-1932. is a somewhat curious irony of Fate that they broke their long spell of ill-success at the expense of the team which won the Shield last year.

The only team to have any chance of beating them is the I.R.C. who have to play two more games-against the C.S.C.C. and the Army.
Even if they win both-and there is a good chance of the Army drawing with them-og per- haps even beating them--they can only get sixteen points, so that the Club would have to lose or draw to give them any hope,
I do not understand the mix-up of games. According to the I.R.C. card the Army team was due to play them on January 20. By both H.K.C.C. and Army Cards they were to meet on that date, as in point of fact they did. I shall be glad to know when they are going| to play.

Of Swimming
REMARKABLE ADVANCE NOTICED DURING 1933
The past 12 months will go down to history in Great Britain as showing a truly remarkable advance in the popularity of swim ming as a recreative exercise. There was the lucky combination of a glorious summer coinciding with the opening of scores of new swimming pools in all parts of the country. Hurlingham and Ranelagh installed up-to-date bathing pools for their members, while the teachers in "Hedgerow Schools" in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Oxfordshire dammed, streams and pools to make safe bathing places for their young charges.

Roadhouses, too, came into the swim, while the Rea coast from Whitley Bay, in Northumberland, round to Morecambe Bay, in Lan- cashire, was a dotted line of bathing pools packed out with holiday- makers from early morn to late night. There is the same story to record about swimming in the cities and towns, with the result that to day England has the beat bathing facilities of any country in the world.
