The Swimming

The Swimming.

The swimming was as noisy as usual in the evening. D. H. Symes (O.U.) won the three free style events in hollow fashion, equalling his own record in the 100yds. and breaking Lindsay's record in the 220yds. Misses M. Gillies and J. Thomson, of Auckland, and Miss A. Morris, of C.U.C., shared the women's events, and the Relay was won by A.U.C. after a thrilling race. C. I. W. Archibald was the only V.U.C. swimmer to secure a place, being 3rd. in the 220.yds. Breaststroke. Mason did very well, in view of the high standard shown, and should do better next year. The diving troupe's exhibition was most amusing, but the honours went to the C.U.C. lad who dived in fully clad from high in the gallery, and landed with anything but a sickening thud. We cannot commend the other allegedly humorous idea of pushing a man into the water from a girder in the roof.
