PHILIPPINES AQUATIC STRENGTH

Interport Prospects Bright For Hongkong Comparatively Poor Times Reported From Manila

(By "Ripple")

HONGKONG'S PROSPECTS in the coming interport swimming meet with the Philippines on October 23, 24 and 25 are, in view of reported times from Manila, considerably brighter than wore first thought. Swimmers from the south- ern islands have a formidable reputation, and in the 1936 World Olympic Games at Berlin acquitted themselves well.

But it seems that the later generation have been und able to maintain the high standard set by stars of those earlier times, though while the fall has been regrettable it has brought the Filipino swimmers more into line with the standards of the Colony swimmers, and the coming meet which would have otherwise been very one-sided promises an ovenness in struggle that should make it the outstanding aquatic event of the past several years.
