Victoria sends higher hopes of success with tills year's swimming team than she has done in the last ten years. Our star performer is D. Dowse, swimming id both men's breaststroke events. Nanette Broome, the 1947 Peck Shield winner, should do well in the women's freestyle (50 and 100 yards); likewise L. B. Piper in the dive (he is the Wellington champion). [unclear: d] Murphy should be placed in the 100 yds freestyle We have no information about Hilary spencer of Massey.
