BOLTON ON CREST OF A WAVE: READING START TO CLIMB
(By "Veritas").
Although a goodly number of last Saturday's results were a shock to one's nervous system, the majority of the leading teams in the English Football League retained their form and played according to expectations.
Every week now Manchester City are proving them- acives a great team. It was no mean thing to visit Leicester and win by three goals to one. Certainly it will need a complete reversal of form to shift the City out of the first three during the remainder of the season. Preston are not allowing the gran to grow under their

Despite the inclusion of three Hongkong interport and Chinese Olympic swimming stars, the Cantonese Swimming Club just failed to hold the Foreign Y.M.C.A. in the dual swim- ming gala which took place last week at the latter's pool. The Imcas won, scoring 35 points against the total of 28 earned by the Chinese, the latter being level right up to the final two events which they lost. The deciding races of the evening were the relay and diving and, as the "Y" tool these, they were able to win by the margin of 9 points.
