Swimming Galas To Aid War Funds

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 Relief 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. moot at the V.R.C. pool on July 26.

Arrangements hvac more or less been confpleted, except for the selection of the teams, and in the composi. tion of the latter the gala will assume the aspect of a pre- view of the Colony Championships.

Only one change has been made in the suggested pro- gramme, which will now be:

400 yards relay men, women. 300 yards free-style relay.Teams of six.

150 yards medley relay-Back stroke, breast-stroke, and free-style. 100 yards free-style. Two froin ench team.

Women

300 yards free-style relay-Teams of six.

150 medley relay.-Breast-stroke, back-stroke and free-style.

Boys

200 yards Inter-School relay. Teams of four.

Services

50 yards inter-Unlt-One swimmer! per Unit.

THE

HE selection of the Chinese team will be decided by hents. The date for these has not yet been fixed, but they will most probably be held nt the Chinese Y.M.C.A. Sing Tao, with the recent acquisitions, are the most formidable team, and, conse- quently, the Combined Chinese will no doubt be mainly composed members of this Club.
