Aquatic Records Broken At V.R.C.-Lai Tsun Gala

Miss V. Churn's Fine Efforts

WITH MAIN INTEREST centred around the women's events at the V.R.C.-Lai Tsun swimming gala at the V.R.C. on Saturday, particular prominence was gained by Miss Vivienne Churn, Colony women's champion.

She broke her own Colony time for the 50 yards, covering the dis tance in 394 seconds, one second beiter than her time of Inst year, and assisted greatly in the estab fishing of two new records in the

150 yards medley relay and the 200 yards free-style relay.

For the medley, the V.B.C. girls- Miss C. Guterres, Miss V. Churn and Miss J. Anderson improved by 4% seconds on the Colony record, being timed at 1 min. 40% secs.

In the 200 yards relay, their time of 2 mins. 1025 secs. was two seconda better than the former record. The this same three girls took part in recond event with the addition of Miss I. Lopes.
