Swimming

It would be useless to pretend that the 1955 team will be a world-beater, but if keenness is any indication we should manage a better performance than last year.

We have one or two brilliant individual swimmers: Jackie Twigg, who won two titles for AUC last year; John Hamilton, who needs no introduction: Roger Gibbs, of Mas-sey, who is showing some of the form wo saw at the British Empire Games in 1950 these three would be hard to beat in any field.

With the old stalwarts Speight, Fraser and McCann once again taking the water we should have a fairly strong water polo team, greatly strengthened by the presence of Verhoeven, the Wellington representative goalkeeper, in the rear.
