FEW, BUT FIT

Otago's Swimmers For Champs; (From "N.Z. Truth's" Dunedin Rep.) Though Otago's representation at" the forthcoming swimming championships at Wellington will not be numerically strong, the team chosen is made up of some excellent material. 'APART from the diving competitors, *"^ only one senior swimmer will be taking part m championship events — Cecil Lewis, men's breast-stroke. . But what ' must go by the board through the . dismal thinness of the senior ranks' may be recompensed by the achievements of the three younger members of the team. On the form he has been showing of late, Roy Caldei* should have . points to spare m defending the men's diving title. Mix, the intermediate diving champion, is keeping busy with hard training at the board, and should bo' at the jjeak of his form for tho big event:. In the ladies' dive, Miss Doris Foote hopes to reverse the order of last season which left her with second place to Miss L. Hood, of Hawkes Bay. Miss Fpote is a neat performer, and is reported as having developed considerable polish since the provincial decisions; Cecil Lewis, the popular secretary for the centre and wellrknown proving cial rep. toe -bailer, will be out to retrieve the breast-stroke honors which he lost the season after his winning performance at Wanganui three years ago. . : With Miss Maxiene Mathieson will rest the responsibility of carrying Otago's, colors m the girl's intermediate events. Both m the breast-stroke and free style she should be. well up at the finish. , Young Reg. Geddes can be depended upon to uphold his laurels m the junior boys' breast-stroke, and m youngster Jarvis, has a powerful little mate for the free style events.
