SWIMMING

These races took place at home and the School crews had the advantage of familiar boats and course. In the 1st IV Race, the School won the toss and took the Station side of the River. After a shaky start the School pulled up, steadily and, after a crab in the Durham boat at the York City Boat House, carried on quite steadily to a win by If lengths.

In the 2nd IV race the School again had the Station side of the River, but lost by one length, probably owing to the fact that they had not had enough experience as a crew.

RACES v. LEEDS UNIVERSITY.-3oth June, 1943.

These races also took place at home. The 2nd IV, rowing the Leeds 3rd IV, took the far side of the River. The Leeds crew pulled ahead at the start and from then the race was keenly contested by both crews, and either might have been the ultimate winner. Finally the, School won by 3 feet after a really magnificent race. \ In the 1st IV race, the School crew pulled ahead soon after the start and increased their lead quite regularly, to win finally by 4 lengths.

SWIMMING.

The weather this term has not favoured any extraordinary activity in the baths, and the fact that very few P.T. periods were devoted to swimming has made this sport still more of a spare-time activity. Nevertheless, teams have competed with Bootham and Ampleforth, where the successes of the junior sections of the teams augur well for the future. The Swimming Sports were held on the last day of term and the Kazerooni Cup was won by Temple.

Detailed results are published below.
