1940 SWIMMING PROSPECTS
Philippines? Visit Lawn Bowls Championships
Probable In August FIRST ROUND MATCHES OF
Harbour Restrictions And Water-polo League
(By "Tinker")
THE EUROPEAN Y.M.C.A, have pointed the way for a 1940 swimming programme with the two very enjoyablo galas held last week. In the first of these, in which they entertained the Aus- tralian Naval Reservists, they indicated the road by which the Colony will get the best from its swimmers, that is, through inter-club competi- tion and plenty of it.
At the end of the season, there are the championships and a prospective visit from the Philippines to look for- ward to, and the water-polo league and respective Club galas to carry through till then. There is no dearth of swimmers here at the moment, and though there is none of exceptional ability, they are not far short of champion- ship class, and final touches should be given through more extensive Club competition.
The position of the bathing Clubs-at-North-point-appears-to- be jeopardised, No one is sure what is going to happen to them. On one hand are reports that the Clubs have been told to vacate their sites, and from other sources, comes information that they have been told ́ (un-) officially that they need not
