H.B. SWIMMING TITLES

Gisborne Entries For The Championships STRONG RELAY TEAM Selections of swimming representative's' for the Hawke's Bay provincial championship carnival have been completed by the Gisborne Surf and Swimming Club's committee and general satisfaction will be felt among tbe iollowers of the sport in eonhection with the Swain Cup team in particular (says the "Poverty Bay Herald"). For the Swain Memorial Cup, a relay contest which has been a star item of every season for nearly 15 years, H. Holmes, S. Dodgshrn, P. Mrrphy and A. DeCosta • will race on behalf of the Gisborne club. Tf will be felt by most swimming enthusiasts that this is one of the strongest teams ever sent to contest the Swain Memorial, and that there should be a good chance of the trophy coming to Gisborne again. All four of the Gisborne representatives have figiired prominently in competitions under cltib auspices this season, and may be expected to produce their best form for the coming trial. In the annual water-polo contest against tbe Heretaunga club in Hastings, the Gisborne club will be represented by J. G. Crawford, goal, T. S. Wauchop, right back, H. Green, left back, D. Armstrong, right torward, R. Cederwall, centre, and W. Varley, left forward This team is potentially a very strong one, but keen practice may be recommencled to its members. Senior women of the club will have Miss H. McKnlght as their representative at the provincial championships, and Misses Norma Henderson and Katlileen Henderson will swim as intermediate girls and junior girls. B. Duckworth has been selected from among tbe club's junior boys, and H. Wall, a recent winner and sterljng consistent performer, wil] enter the championship dive as the best of the Gisborne " experts.
