FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP
The first English Interclub cham- pionship was held in the year 1883 and in 1892 delegates of the English and Scottish water polo associations met in Liverpool and drew up the Arst, unified code of rules. There were 23 items In those set of rules and today, although the game has become world wide and attained Olympic status, there has been no change in that number and very alteration in the procedure of

Proposals for the changes, in rules were originated by the Federacion Argentina de Natation and
Water Polo and offelnily adopted at the Confederacion Suddamericana
de Notation last year. Prime mover responsible for trying out the pro- posed changes in London is Mr E. J. Scott, an English member of the I. W. P. B. and a referee during the European championships at Monto Carlo last September.
