Grand Combined Meet On July 26

Interport Possibilities: "Y"-Lai Tsun Return Match

(By "Tinker")

SWIMMERS are striving to do their bit for the war effort, and galas are being arranged al- most wholesale for the Bomber Fund and British Fund for the Rolief of Distress in China. In this, one of the greatest attractions will be the Com- bined Chinese v. Combined V.R.C.-Y.M.C.A. meet at the V.R.C. pool on July 26. -
