Many Inter-Club Galas Arranged For July
Selecting Swimmers For
Combined Meet
Representative Water-polo Games To Be Inaugurated
(By. "Tinker")
THREE OF THE FOUR wook-onds in July will feature galas that should be all that local swimming fans could wish. · On July 6 (Sunday), the Chinese Clubs will hold a Combined gala at the Chinese Bathing Club, North Point, in order to select representatives for the big meeting on July 26, and on July 12 (Saturday), the V.R.C. will entertain the Lai Tsun Swimming Union.
Arrangements for the Chinese gala are not yet complete, but for the V.R.C-Lai Tson match, the teams have been selected and the programme drawn up. Contrary to earlier statements that David Hutebinson would be turning out for the V.R.C. in representative meets, it now appears that he will not be swimming for V.IL.C. against Lai Tsun because he has entered himself for some of the Open events at the V.A.D. Nurses' Gala which will be held the same night at the Y.M.C.A., Kowloon,
The programming of events at the V.R.C
