To Lau Po-hei, the Colony Back Stroke expert and one of the many breakers of Interport swimming records, fell the distinction on Saturday night, of having won for Hongkong the aquatic contest at the V.R.C. against the Shanghai natatory experts who lost the annual Interport to the Colony by a margin of 57 points to 30.
However, it was Chau Chun-hing's | surprise win against the Shing bad crack sprinters that enabled Lau Fe-hei
to claim the distinction of scoring the winuing points by finishing first in the Lack stroke event. Hongkong hnd previously won the 880 yards through
Lawrence while the Colony re- presentatives surprised even the most optimistic supporter by subsequently, winning the high dlving and cloiming an aggregate of 67 points out of ä total of 87.
Every individual record fell to the interport swimmers, six balug broken by Hongkong representatives and one to Shanghai's captain, Noel Hammond, Incidentally several of the swimmers who were placed second alro covered the respective distances within the old record times.
