Canterbury

Other colleges will be pleased to hear that among those who are not wanting to travel to Wellington are—Otto Snoep (beaten by a touch in the National 100 yards freestyle at Grey-mouth), and three ex-OU stars in F. Sonntag, L. Ronald and D. Wilkinson.

F. McKenzie: Captain of the team. A member of the New Brighton Surf Club team which won the Nelson Shield. Holder of the College breast-stroke title, and almost a certainty for an NZU water polo Blue this year.

I. H. MacDonald: New Zealand 220 yards breaststroke titleholder, also the provincial title at this distance. A Canterbury B water polo representative and again almost a certainty for a Blue.

A. R. Peters: Record and titleholder for the 100 yards breaststroke of Canterbury. Present Canterbury butterfly champion. Member of the NZU teams against the Australians in 1953 and 1955 Triple NZU Blue. Canterbury B water polo team.

J. H. Broomfield: Canterbury medley champion and record holder. Should win the titles for medley and backstroke. NZU representative against the Australians last season; an NZU Blue, and 1955 NZU polo rep.

J. C. White: A former New Zealand junior backstroke champion. His swimming seems to be improving fast.

B. Wallace: Ex-South Canterbury champion, the star long distance man of the team.

W. Raymond: A diver who shows great promise.

J. Noble: Has represented CUC and VUC in tournament previously. The [unclear: tear] freestyle exponent, and also one of the mainstays of the water polo team.

Janet Spooner: A first-class swimmer (freestyle) and at present holder of the Canterbury women's diving title, and fourth in the New Zealand championships.

Nikki Glasgow: With lots of training she should push Janet along in the freestyle events.

Doreen Brown: The present NZU breaststroke titleholder. Snatched from OU's grasp this year, and expected to repeat her winning performance for her new college.

Marie Hunter: This is Marie's first tournament; beat all opposition in the college championships held recently.

Elizabeth Allen: An ex-Rangi Ruru type, where she held all the swimming championship titles.
