Moore, 1 handle, toper to the Auckland Swinj- ! ming Centre. I Gordon Bridson, of Grammar Club, ' is the only Aucklnnder matched against ; Ryan and Griffiths in the quarter-mile invitation scratch race, but there is i no doubt that Bridson, already in full training, will make an excellent show ! against, the visitors. Only last week in an unpaccd swim. Bridson established a New Zealand record of smin lb 3-s.sec over a quarter-mile. He j can be considered in sufficient form |to extend Kyan. Griffiths is New j S( >uth Wales champion over 220yds, and ho also swims a good quarttjri mile. Tiio triangular contest will hold much interest for Aucklanders, espei eially in view of BricLson’s increasing I chancses of adding even more national i distance titles to his successes this j reason.

"' r iter described the* 17-year-old chanti pion as a swimmer of surprises, and I ‘ lls . record proves this, lie entered the i swimming world with success two seasons ago, and last season performed with credit against Arne Borg.
